MINISV1-A Cannot Reach Boot or Setup Menu

Pat

After several efforts to boot the system clearing the CMOS I’ve finally reached a single, non-blinking cursor in the top left corner of the display. I have a wired keyboard and mouse connected. Windows was wiped and TrueNAS SCALE was installed and working previously.

I conclude the originally installed SSD is no longer usable. I removed it and successfully booted the machine from a USB installer flashdrive. I then installed a 340GB HDD that I had salvaged from an old laptop and successfully booted and installed TrueNAS SCALE. However, the replacement drive is showing signs of problems and likely needs to be replaced. I don’t need a large storage device but would like an inexpensive one. What do you suggest? The working storage will be on a Western Digital 20T USB drive.
