     @hadret @stefano same experience. Toshiba drives are unreliable at best.

     I have about 600 HGST drives, mostly 4TB, in the 4-8 year age bracket and they have been quite reliable.

     @stefano I tried two Toshiba drives (10TB N300), both died within 1y. Never again.

     Server arrived today, immediately found a problematic drive 😔

     TOSHIBA 12TB enterprise drive
     Only 131 hours of use (basically new)
     578 ATA errors (should be near zero)
     Performance: 37 MB/s (should be ~200 MB/s)
     5x slower than the other identical drives

     ZFS isn't complaining, but I can't trust this drive.
