Will do, thanks!

Running low on space, so time to buy some new drives. Current setup is 6x Seagate 6TB SAS drives, and 4x WD 14TB SATA drives (2 of the WD drives are used in dual parity). Recently upgraded all of my rack to 10G, so I'm thinking of taking the plunge and moving everything over to ZFS for the throughput benefits, following the Spaceinvaderone tutorials with Unassigned Drives and Unbalanced to do this. I'd run two pools, one with the 6TB drives, and another with the 14TB drives. Question is, do I need to buy the exact same model number of WD 14TB drives (shucked them 4 years ago, so I'm guessing they're different in the enclosures now, though I still see some used ones for sale on eBay) to increase the pool, or will any 14TB drive do? If any, can I use different manufacturers as long as they are 14TB in size? Thanks.

Thanks Squid!

Had a power surge Sunday evening. Thankfully, I run everything off a UPS, but somehow it managed to corrupt my pfSense VM and my USB. Was running 6.10-rc1, but thankfully I had a backup of my flash drive from 6.9.2 prior to the upgrade. Initially was unable to access GUI (blinking cursor issue), but got that sorted from some time spent reading the forums. Restored from backup and rebuilt the VM and we are back in business. However, now I'm getting a Machine Check Events warning in Fix Common Problems. Additionally, I see a line at console on startup I don't recognize from before. Admittedly, I haven't had to look at console in months, so I'm wondering if that's normal because I run a script on startup via Squid's User Scripts, and it's referring to that? Screenshot (apologies for the bluriness, was captured from video - see last line) and logs attached. Much appreciated. server-diagnostics-20211030-1159.zip
