Hi, all
when a colleague wanted to upgrade the 4 disks in his home FreeNAS to 4 TB each, WD was the first brand I checked. The "RED" series seemed to be exactly what we needed. Sacrificing performance for low power consumption was perfectly OK for a home system, 24x7 certified, ... deal.
OK, scrub pool once more to be absolutely sure, yank one drive (RAIDZ2), replace, then,
Resilvering went without a hitch, but this morning I found:
and
(shortened for brevity, same error message with a couple of retries ...)
So ...
any idea, what's going on here? I searched the forum for the "RED" drives but only found they *should* be OK. I suspect the drive is spinning down after some idle time and not coming back up.
This link was mentioned in one of the threads:
http://support.wdc.com/product/download.asp?groupid=619&sid=201&lang=en
Has anyone used this utility and can share some experience? Can I disable spin down altogether with this? The documentation only mentions increasing the idle timeout.
In the FreeNAS UI spin down is set to never. The FreeNAS version is 9.2.1.8 amd64. System is a ProLiant Micro Server N36L with 16G of ECC RAM. Drive label reads SATA/64MB Cache WD40EFRX NASware 3.0.
Any helpful suggestions (other than returning the drives ;-) appreciated.
Thanks
Patrick
