<p>Thank you all for the suggestions and shared experience. <br>
You definitely gave me some options and things to think and
research. <br>
</p>
<p>And special thanks to Jason who have graciously provided 1TB
drive to replace my failing one and even 1 spare!<br>
</p>
<p>Thanks Jason!<br>
</p>
<p>It took almost 2 days to resilver 863G which is strange (I think)
but then again I still use the disks all the time.<br>
</p>
<p>Now that my zpool is ONLINE again lets just hope I don't waste my
time on other tasks before actually deciding on an upgrade path
before it is too late. <br>
</p>
<p>Thank you all again.<br>
</p>

<div>Personally, I use refurbished SAS disks from eBay. I
purchsed 10 Helios 8TB disks for my TrueNAS upgrade a year
ago. 8 installed, 2 cold spares. They usually ship with
thousands of hours of runtime, but the MTBF (Mean Time Between
Failures) is in the millions of hours. They're designed to
just keep running. Mine are listed as 2.5 million hours.
Yes, take this number with a grain of salt; this is
theoretical; it's a calculation based on how many drives
failed over a time period. This is why I purchas two spares.
It gives me time to order another while the spare drive
resilvers.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>The advantage is they tend to be 50% - 80% cheaper,
depending on the seller and market... I got mine for just
under $100CAD each. $14.99 shipping for the lot.</div>

Community,<br>
<br>
I have zfs setup with 3 x 1T raidz and 2 x 2T mirror disks
bringing the <br>
total capacity to 4T.<br>
<br>
One of the 1T seams to be failing and needs to be
replaces, so I tough <br>
it's time for upgrade.<br>
<br>
Does any of you have recommendation there to get disks
with lets say at <br>
least 6T capacity at reasonable price?<br>
<br>
Maybe some refurbished? Could you share your experiences?<br>
<br>
Thank you<br>
<br>
