TrueNAS uses a dd command to 'wipe' a disk by zeroing the first 32MB on it, but there is some kind of error when it tries to do this.

It could be that disk ada3 has failed. Examine it with the SMART tools to see if this is the case. In a shell session, run:
Code:
smartctl -a /dev/ada3

To see if there are any bad sectors or other problems with the disk. Then run:
Code:
smartctl -t short /dev/ada3

To run a short test, or to run a long test, run:
Code:
smartctl -t long /dev/ada3

If the drive shows errors, you'll need to replace it. If not, you'll have to dig deeper...

Also, post your system configuration (per the Forum Rules above) because this will help others with troubleshooting.

@Spearfoot So it truned out to be cabling issue. I moved hot swap place and it did as it should, I can't believe that can even cause when you can see disk.
