Hi

I'm a newbie to FreeNAS and have run in to some problems with my setup.

The setup is as follows:
HP Proliant Microserver gen 8
16GB ECC unbuffered RAM
4xSeagate Barracuda Compute brand new 2TB ST2000DM008-2FR102 in a RAIDZ2 pool, all drives in one VDev
MB, Disc controller and NIC are what comes from HP, nothing changed.

The zpool status and the Alerts given from the system says

Pool P1 state is DEGRADED: One or more devices has been removed by the administrator. Sufficient replicas exist for the pool to continue functioning in a degraded state..
Sun, 1 Mar 2020 04:26:27 AM (Europe/Stockholm)
at a time when I was sleeping this morning.

And I also got an Critical Alert some days ago.
Device: /dev/ada2, 8 Currently unreadable (pending) sectors.

Forgot to mention that the boot pool is a 256GB SSD drive at as ada4,
the P1 pool consist of ada0, ada1, ada2, ada3 and it's ada2 and ada3 that is missing now.
Code:
root@S1[/dev]# ls -la | grep ada

Long time but no answers or help.

I replaced the 2 missing drives with 2 brand new identical drives.
So far so good, resilvering needed lots of hours but finally the pool was healthy and i removed the old drives in the UI

Overview

Platform: Generic

Version: FreeNAS-11.3-U1

zpool status
pool: P1
state: ONLINE
status: Some supported features are not enabled on the pool. The pool can
still be used, but some features are unavailable.
action: Enable all features using 'zpool upgrade'. Once this is done,
the pool may no longer be accessible by software that does not support
the features. See zpool-features(7) for details.

Now, one of the brand new drives got a critical alert

Any Idea of why this happens, how to prevent it?
Trying to migrate from my very old HP MediaSmart EX495 Server but this feels less secure.

I know seagate drives use a strange double-byte system for read and write errors (so those numbers may not actually be a problem), but these 2 look like the pertinent ones to me:
197 Current_Pending_Sector 0x0012 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 8
198 Offline_Uncorrectable 0x0010 100 100 000 Old_age Offline - 8

As far as I can see, it's just a bad drive (I guess both are the same?, maybe the same batch).

Did you burn them in when setting up?

No, Should I and If so, where can I read how to do it?

Can be the same batch, Will check if I can see any manufacturing date on them.
