Hi everyone, I recently took delivery of a Supermicro X11SRM-F with a Broadcom MegaRAID 9361-8i SAS 8 port card which has 4 Intel D3-S4610 960 GB SSDs and 4 Hitachi/WD Ultrastar HC300 4TB drives each in a RAID5. I have /usr/local/etc/smartd.conf with just 'DEVICESCAN' and when smartd starts I see..
