Hi all!
I’m stuck with a problem on my TrueNAS server. I suspect the boot drive is dead, but I don’t know how to proceed to get it back up and running.
My setup:
-HP Compaq 8000 Elite SFF with 8gig ddr3
-TrueNAS-24.04.2.5
-Boot drive: Kingston SSD A400 240GB
-Data drives: 2 X Kingston SSD DC600M 960GB
Today i noticed that my Truenas was offline and I couldn’t ssh into it. The nic lights were not showing any activity. After a few boot attempts I hooked it to a monitor and keyboard. No boot media detected. Then checked in the bios and the data drives are detected but not the 240GB boot drive. So I pull the boot drive out and hook it to my Thinkpad running mxLinux. I have a USB to SATA cable, that I’ve used before to troubleshoot drives. The drive is not showing up in Disk Manager. Output of dmesg -w when hooking up the drive is following:
[ 2369.520731] usb 2-1: new SuperSpeed USB device number 9 using xhci_hcd

Been trying to resolve this for hours with google but to no avail. Any help appreciated where to go from here.
Thanks 🙏
The issue is now resolved.
Really straightforward with Truenas. Thanks to those who took the time to reply 👍
