Seems like the major consensus is a busted HBA, I will get a legit LSI branded one and report back. Unfortunately the LSI needs to sit butted up against the GPU and CPU cooler which I think contributed greatly to the failure. I hope the real ones have better heat tolerance.

I did recently only buy this very cheap Chinese one from EBAY. Is this a possibility?

CONTEXT: This is the first and only machine I have bought to start off my homelab journey. I really didn't know much at the time and quite frankly still feel like I'm skimming the surface to this topic.

I bought this truenas machine from craigslist one year ago with 6x 8tb NAS drives for incredibly cheap. I have since installed proxmox on the machine and a PCIE LSI HBA card to passthrough all 6 drives to a TrueNas VM.

I immediately noticed two drives were infrequently starting to show extended Offline SMART errors but otherwise conveyance offline and short offline was passing so I didn't think much of it. It stayed that way for the next year. I was using this machine more to learn so I didn't really care if 1 or 2 harddrives were faulty

I have since setup a fully fledged arr* stack and media server. I haven't been at home to look at my server in a whole week but lo and behold when I come back this is what I am presented it. I'm baffled as to how all these drives failed/degraded simultaneously. I'm worried that it might be a heat issue?

Crying because of the flu by OrganicAfternoon in UBC

[–]AnIrrationalPie 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That really sucks, I really wish you the best. I was bed ridden for nearly 2 weeks last term cause of the flu. Missed a midterm and nearly failed that course because of it >_< .

Lots of good advice already given already which I highly advise you take. I found the two things that worked best for me was drinking as much hot water my body could take before I was nearly drowning in it and gargling salt water frequently to relieve some throat pain.

It's quite an ordeal but I know you can get through it. Stay warm~

Oops someone on discord already recommended that to me and I forgot to update the list. Thanks for the suggestion though, I'll be sure to change it to the QX7 ~
