I hope your testing experience is a good one. Also the importance of your data is critical as you will need to know the redundancy level. I will place them back into service in another system hopefully in the coming weeks and see how long they last. Mt WD Red hard drives which I have recently removed from service temporarilly have just over 5 years on them with no errors. I say 3 to 5 years because hard drives are lasting up to and beyond 5 years typically these days. If you intend to use FreeNAS as your storage solution then I would invite you to gather up all your throughts on what you want to use FreeNAS for and how much storage capacity you think you will need for 3 to 5 years. Of course you just wanted to evaluate FreeNAS in a VM on your OS so none of those comments actually help you. The Windoze version works fine and you could also run ESXi 6.5 for free and it works fine as well. You shouldn't have to buy an enterprise version of VMWare to make this work but as I said, I have not used the Linux version of this product so maybe there is some odd behaviour here. Glad to hear you found a way around the problem.
