Hello again
One of the disks in my raidz pool is apparently dying, namely "ada3"

The server has total of 4 disks in horizontal order. Just to be sure - are those named "ada0-ada1-ada2-ada3" from left to right or perhaps "ada3-ada2-ada1-ada0"

Just want to be sure, since I dont want to replace to wrong disk.

That depends on your hardware; your controller, the ports as they are on the motherboard, the SATA cables, and your physical drive locations. That's something you'll probably need to figure out for yourself. Even if someone else told me how theirs was I wouldn't trust it since you have only 1 drive of redundancy. Nothing worse than unplugging a good drive and trying to resilver with the bad drive with no redundancy left.

You should match the bad device to its disk serial number, then match it to the drive label. Anything else is risky.

Makes perfect sense. Thank you :)
In my case, it was the disk on the right.
