Yesterday I bought a couple of 250GB WD Blue M.2 SATA SSDs to replace the two random non-matching drives I was using for my app/VM pool (the old drives wouldn't go to waste but become SLOG and cache for my main data pool). I bought them specifically because they were the cheapest the computer store had, I knew they wouldn't be fast or fancy but they oughta be good enough to run a Plex server on. Today I woke up to a dozen CRITICAL ERROR emails from my NAS telling me one of them has errors and that the pool is operating in a "degraded state."
This is the first time I've dealt with disk errors in TrueNAS and I'm not sure what to do. Is there a future for this drive, or have I bought a dud that needs to be returned to the store? Is it safe to leave as-is or should I offline it immediately? I have them in a PCIE to 2X M.2 carrier card, could it be the card's fault (either the card's IO is faulty, or worse it damaged the disk)?
Thanks in advance for any advice
