Hello,
I totally need help on this because I don't know where the problem may be. I want to have freenas running from USB so I can save SATA ports.
But in two years it managed to screw three USB thumb drives and two ssd drives. All this in only two years. I didn't read any specific inconvenient on using USB drives, besides performance maybe but this is a home setup.
The thing is that on April this year and tired of replacing thumb drives i replaced both drives with SSD disks connected again through USB and everything went fine.
Then I leave for couple of weeks and get and email telling me that boot raid got degraded (no problem, I got a mirror). Then I get home, a lot of things not working, try to reboot and the server doesn't boot.
Connecting the disks on my laptop I can see that indeed both disks have hardware errors:
Disk1
Disk2 (I connect this one and sometimes doesn't give me problems still can't boot freenas from it)
What am I doing wrong here? It may have been just bad luck that both disks died the same week?
I absolutely don't know what try next and any suggestion is welcome. Just want to avoid replacing boot disks every two months.
