After running FreeNAS for years, I finally just enabled email alerts. I got my first security run output this morning and I was looking at it and noticed something weird.
For my drives ADA3 and ADA4, the log shows 150MB (SATA) while my other three drives (ADA0,1,2) have 300B (SATA 2.X). When I run a
This shows my drive is running at SATA 3.0Gb/s which is more inline with the 300MB/s. I'm trying to understand why these two drives are showing different in my report than the other 3 drives. What am I missing here? I'm pretty technical but FreeNAS has very much been a set and forget project for me. My first goal is to make sure all my drives are configured and performing. The specs for my ASUS MB is SATA 3Gb/s for all 6 SATA Ports.
This might be unrelated, but I do know ADA4 is currently in a DEGRADED state as I'm seeing high Checksum errors in the Volume Status, but SMARTCTL long test reports the drive is fine. I'm guessing the drive is on it's way out...
