I currently have 8 x Corsair CSSD-F60GBLS 7mm 60GB Force Series LS drives in ZFS RAID 10 giving me about 230GB of usable storage.
I have been running them through a IBM M1015 flashed in IT mode on a box with 16GB ECC RAM and Intel XEON E3-1230v3
Over a period of a 6 months I've now had 4 of the drives just drop from the array and become unavailable.
The first time two of them dropped it trashed the array. Because I take snapshots and do zfs replication I was able to restore but this time the 6 remaining drives I set in raid6 so I had the same amount of storage. Another two drives have become unavailable and is at a very critical point.
No matter if I power cycle the box, switch the SSDs into different port FreeNAS refuses to see the unavailable drives. If I take the failed drives out and plug them into a PC they can be read fine and see to be in working condition.
I can only presume that ZFS is not liking these drives and is marking them as failed or something.
Anyway I want to move away from cheap SSD and want to move to something more reliable. Can anyone recommend a SSD? I need about 230GB of storage and thinking of moving to getting two 240GB SSDs and mirror them.
I'm thinking that SanDisk Extreme PRO 240GB looks like a good replacement but I'm really not sure what would be better.
