I just bought 3 brand new 3tb WD Green drives to build my very first NAS.
First boot up of FreeNAS showed the disks as 3tb each, I tried to make a ZFS volume and kept getting CRC errors and all sorts of nonsense.
The motherboard I was using was pretty crap and I think the sata controller on it was being silly. So I replaced it with another motherboard, booted up FreeNAS and it reported that 1 of my 3tb drives was 2tb. Odd.
So I rebooted, now all 3 drives are showing as 2tb, even in the bios.
What the hell? What can I do to check these disks are still actually 3tb and restore them?
They are brand new drives and I would really hate to have to paper weight them.
