Go to solution Solved by Inrix,

Oh man this has been an adventure. So, after ALOT of testing the networking, indevidual drives, FreeNAS install, Adaptor etc. I finally found out that the firmware version for my SAS Card was apparently known for having issues. I quick flash up to version 20.00.06 has fixed the write issue completely and freenas seems a lot happier now!

 

The array is going VERY nicely now :) 83851167d0146e4a61a336447328eee8.png

 

So for anyone out there who is having issues. I would suggest looking up if your firmware has any known issues, then troubleshooting the drives individually, then on another OS, etc.

 

Thanks so much for your support @leadeater tbh I should have checked the firmware at the beginning but I was being stupid :P Glad it's all working now.

I just want a redundant setup for a NAS with Raid5 type capabilities. But I didnt want to go with a minimal linux server because I really want a WebGui with stats etc for easy management.

There are extra packages you can install to get that but FreeNAS makes things much simpler/out of the box. Personally I'd try and find out what's wrong with FreeNAS.

Yea... I'm installing winServer2016 to test the controller/drives on a different os. Then I'll see about booting a older version of freenas
