TIL that my “smart” phone’s voicemail may not notify me of a message for up to 20 minutes… and my phone itself may not ring (or buzz) either as the call itself was supposedly coming through (I wasn’t on another call)

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.
