Hi guys,
Think I have a problem with one of my SSDs and just wondering if there was a way for me to test if it's dying or something else causing the issue?
Basically I have a FreeNAS box set up in the living room that has a 60 GB SSD (Crucial M4) as its main drive and then some 3TB mechanical drives for storage. If I boot the machine up from cold then there are no issues and it boots up fine. Then after a certain period of time, the SSD seems to stop working, get AHCI error messages in the FreeNAS console etc.
If I then just restart the machine using the button on the case the M4 doesn't show at all in the BIOS. However, if I then proceed to turn the machine off and start it again, the M4 shows and boots properly.
I have tried changing the SATA port used in case it was that, but that seemed to make no difference.
This drive is a couple of years old now, so there's a chance it is dying but just thought I see if there are any things I can try to confirm this or if something else might be causing the issue.
For reference, this is a fresh installed FreeNAS and the disk had the same behaviour with Rockstor installed.
Thanks
Here's an output of smartctl for the drive:
