Truenas very slow and generating many errors

[theaddies]

Pasted below is one of the messages I am getting from the server in e-mail. After waiting quite a while the GUI does appear but then it is extremely slow to log in. I tried SSH and I wasn't able to get connected. I would appreciate any suggestions.

Code:

Errors in middleware often indicate an issue with a failing boot device. Eg: not all USB sticks are created equal, and some can fail very quickly, or have issues with xHCI compatibility (USB 3.0 mode)

Can you describe your boot device and its connection?

Thanks for the reply. The boot drive is an SSD. I have a spare. I will try to make a backup and have a do-over.

What is the make/model of the boot device, and how is it connected?

Certain controllers (often found in consumer SSDs like the Western Digital Green or lower SanDisk models) have issues with their TRIM implementation under FreeBSD (the operating system kernel under TrueNAS) and would require TRIM to be disabled prior to installation.

What happened to your problem. Any update will be helpful.
