Hey everyone,

I recently built my first NAS. It was bough used with SAS hardware. I've finally got past all the roadblocks and problems that were in my way (I basically bricked a whole SAS drive, a hero of a lemmy user helped me fix it).

Now after filling the 15 TB of RAIDZ2 with around 100gb of data. One of the drives started waiving its white flag and wants to die on me.

I am a complete beginner with no experience with these things.

Is my drive dying and should be replaced? or can it be fixed?

This is the output of the 507 errors that TrueNAS received form it and labelled the vDev as degraded and the drive as faulted:

Output of zpool status and sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdd

As a beginner it looks like this drive is cooked, please let me know if it needs replacing so I can order a new one and replace it right away.

Thank you sooo much!

Edit: SAS not SATA drives

I would bet money that drive is done. Cable would be udma crc errors, not media failure. Drive made it 11 years (even if power on time is only about half of that)
