I had Freenas 11.3 running until a few days ago when it inexplicitly lost connection (no internet connection etc). Decided to force reboot since this was headless and had no luck (static IP on router did not show up). I finally got my hands on a spare monitor so I could boot up to see what was happening and it looks like it's just stuck on a blinking cursor after BIOS loads. Some past threads indicate this is an issue with my boot device (SSD) perhaps?
What are my options to troubleshoot further and is there anything else I should check?

- I'm not sure if the SSD just randomly decided to die, but would be open to getting a new one and doing a refresh install (but is there a way to verify if this was in fact the issue?)
- If the SSD is still "functional" can I upgrade to TrueNAS Core?
- If I get a new SSD as the boot device, I was thinking its a good time to just force upgrade to the new TrueNAS Core. Can I do this and import the zpool assuming nothing is wrong with it?
- Lately I have seen sectors failing on my HDs slowly but I do not think it's necessarily related to the problem I'm having now but will mention it.
