I was given a retired Datto 4-bay NAS unit from my office since it had been exhibiting intermittent cloud back-up tendencies.
I pulled the two 1TB WD Green drives, wiped them and they tested out fine. I'm using them as external back-up drives elsewhere.
I installed a pair of used WD 500gb Blue drives and then loaded FreeNAS onto the device.
How would you go about thoroughly testing the NAS for consistent reliability before implementing in a home-based NAS?
Is there a stress-test program and/or data transfer that I could implement?
Any ideas?
