I am migraing over to hexos from windows server(stoage spaces) for my storage. I have several HGST 60 drive DAS units and my biggest issue with truenas other than it took more work than it was worth unless you use it all th time is the lack of Drive and enclosure ID's. It identifies drives by serial wich does no good when you have hundreds of drives and cant see the serial. The truenas fourms are awash with peoiple saykng to spend the time and lable the top of the drive with the seireal but this has been solved a million years ago. enterprise stuff lists drives by control,encloser and Drive ID 00:00:41 ( card 0, enclosure 0, drive 41.) Windows server has always done this, limux has always done this but Truenas seems to ignore this. this gets super frustriating when II add an encluser of 60 drives and 56 of them show up......now what? slowly pull them one by one till I find one that doesnt disapear?

 

Super simple. just add the ID's next to serial in the GUI. life will be awsome again.
