Hi!
TureNoob here.
I've set up trueNas last year with disk laying around, plex and some other app, all is working great but i'm running out of space.
So I bough an ICY BOX IB-3640SU3 with 4 HDD Seagate IronWolf 4 To. Currently running TrueNAS-12.0-U6.
Connected via esata, I've only one drive showing in trueNas.
All four are showing when plugged into a windows machine.

And my expertise ends here, I can connect to my nas via ssh but I have no idea what command I should run to list disk and detect what's wrong.

Any help from you guys would be nice.

Here is a few command I gathered looking for an answer :

The Icy Box is likely an SATA port multiplier. These do not work well, they are not recommended. They sorta work okay-ish under Windows sometimes, but under FreeBSD and Linux you need very specific chipsets for both the multiplier and the SATA controller, and even then, it isn't a good idea. Whatever the case, you'll be limited by the speed of a single SATA connection, which under ZFS will be miserable during scrubs and resilvers.

BackBlaze is a case study in having to carefully select your components oh-so-carefully, and then eventually giving up because it's so hard and has so many compromises.

In only the luckiest of cases can you go and buy a random bit of hardware like the Icy Box, and have it actually contain an expander chipset that will work with FreeBSD or Linux, AND support expanders via the SATA controller you happen to be using. It's a one in a thousand shot.

You'd be better off ditching the Icy Box and hooking your drives up correctly.

Thanks for your feedback.
I'll try to find the room to hook up my drives in my little shuttle case.
Do you have any warning regarding PCe SATA expansion card?

Don't use them either - you need a proper LSI chipset based HBA - but not a MEGARaid. It has to be flashed to IT Mode

Thanks for your help.
I went against your recommandation (and got lucky) and got a PCIe card (PEXSAT34RH), all four disk listed and pool created.

Highly not recommended, but if it works for you then great. Just be aware that at PCIe2x2 you have a theoretical 1Gb/s (according to wikipedia). I would advise against running SSD's on those ports as you just don't have the bandwidth.
Also be aware that its a RAID Card and may not feedback everything that ZFS needs to know about the disks so that in the event of an error condition you may get problems.

Yes - its an awful lot of may's

Good luck
