Pool degraded on every Hdd >4tb

[Ale91]

Hi,

Mi truenas with motherboard GA F2A88XM-DS2 and 16gb ram, every time i install a new Hdd over 4 tb capacity, after 2 days of using, the system discover many zfs errors (154 and more) then suspend pool.

Disk is set always on, bios set on uefi, the Hdd is wd 8tb gold (but no matter because the problem verify with too Seagate enterprise 12 tb)

Other disk wd 500 tb blue - 1TB blue - 4 TB red pro - 1 tb blue are always ok.

I dont know what to do.

The Smart is ok and scrub cant go because the system put the disk in bad condition automatically (suspend it).

Thank you

The Smart set long is too fast 0,1 second with green flag and the errors cake out after coping data like 2tb or something

I dont know what to do.

Post more info about your hardware

How are the drives connected, which type of vdevs/pools are using, which version of truenas are you running etc.

Other disk wd 500 tb blue - 1TB blue - 4 TB red pro - 1 tb blue are always ok.

The motherboard has four SATA ports? So how are you connecting the additional drive(s)? A SATA expansion card? An HBA? Model?

You are running the latest firmware for that motherboard?

What is your PSU?

[prez02]

In case you use the onboard SATA, are those drive set to AHCI?

They are quite mixed bag, the drives you have, is each a single stripe?
(Not recommended)

Every drives in Sata by sata multipli ed but the wd gold with problems directory, every Hdd in stripe.
Im using truenas 25.04, but the Same problem with previous.

In the last year or two, we’ve had a resurgence of users asking about SATA Port Multipliers and cheap SATA controllers.

How does that work?

SSD 120GB
500 TB Blue
1TB Blue
4TB Red Pro
8TB GOLD

motherboard support only 4 SATA. Am I missing something?

[Ale91]

I have a pci express x 16 that support an nvme sata multiplier, but the gold run on sata motherboard…

[prez02]

So 2 Sata drives, 4TB Red Pro and 8TB Gold, right?

Are both running in AHCI? Maybe connect it to a different SATA port? Swap the cable with the one that is working?

You said you have a windows PC? Download SeaTools and check the drive under windows there?

[Ale91]

Every Hdd is in ahci i tried to change ports, cable sata and power too. But nothing.

[Ale91]

The problem isnt Hdd (Ive tried a 12tb Seagate com moth ago and the Same problem) but something in motherboard maybe…

FM2 socket suggests the system may be older.

Please check your system stability using memtest86 or a similar bootable ISO, to eliminate the potential of a CPU or RAM error.

I’ll try next days, for you the problem is my mb?
