I have just completed a FreeNAS build:
X11SCA-F MB
32gb Hynix DDR4 2666
3x WD Red 6TB
3x IronWolf 6TB
1x Crucial M4 256GB SSD (Boot)
1x WD Blue 512GB SSD (Originally for boot, but found the spare Crucial, so it's not dedicated to any function yet)
FreeNAS is installed, network is configured, all drives show in devlist.
I did smartctl -t -conveyance for all hdd, no issues.
Next I ran smartctl -t long for all hdds. The WD Reds finished in 7 minutes. The IronWolfs are reporting 10 hours to complete, which seems to be the typical case for the long test.
Is there a reason the IronWolfs test are so long compared to WD? Is there a more stringent test to run on the WDs, or is the 7 minute 'test' good enough to put the disk into production?
