35000 power-on hours. SMART still reports it as OK.

Time to figure out how to rebuild a RAID 5 array. The other two drives are probably nearly cooked too, but I have plenty of spares that I got for free.

    Thanks, that makes sense, I picked the server motherboard specifically because it had six sata ports, they all can be used even with the first M.2 slot used.

    I still want to add an L2 cache and an SSD storage pool for VMs and Apps. So I’ll need another controller card.

    One annoying thing is that the server constantly waits at the boot screen untill all drives have spun up despite not having anything to boot from on them…
