    Extremely high SMART failure rate in my FreeNAS

    " long tests every 3 days, and the pool is scrubbed every 14th and 29th of the month. " As an outside observer (I don't own a NAS), isn't this a lot of extra wear and tear on those drives? Not that it's in any way related to your problems.

    how can i get rid of dust on my hardware?

    I agree with cageymaru. I bought one of those electric dusters and it's so much better than the hassle of duster cans, Shop-Vacs, air compressors or other methods. It will pay for itself in no time with how expensive those cans are.
