I was thinking of that just a short while ago and contacted the seller about a return. I am still within the window and got an RMA to send it back

So I buggered up and ordered a Seagate Exos 2X14, which is 2, 7TB drives in a single unit. I had no idea there was such a thing and was just quickly ordering a new 14tb drive to add to the array. Can this drive be used as 2 seperate drives? I have the Unraid Pro license so number of drives does not matter. Anyone used one of these drives in their array before?

I have a Windows 10 VM that I pinned 6 CPU/HTs. When under strain, it pegs a single CPU while using very little of the others. Where should I start looking to remedy this? Edit. Some pics in reply

Yeah, but I am away from home right now LOL. Either I have to wait til I get home OR I have to depend on the wife actually following some directions LMAO. Not sure which will be harder

Yeah Awesome. I am away from home, saw this and reset my password. Now I can not access my personal server running in Docker. UGH

Yes it is still assessable. I was able to plug in a new External drive and see it under pre-clear and begin the preclear. I know it is not necessary anymore, but I like to run it on externals to find any issues prior to shucking

@JonathanM Should Unassigned Devices not show anything during Parity Sync? I have an SSD I keep in unassigned devices and use as appdata for my plex. Seems to still be working, but can not see the drive on the GUI

@JonathanMThanks for the advice. I will run a full parity check after the sync is complete. I am not in a rush to get this done, would rather it be done with zero issues lol

I appreciate the advice. I shut it down, swapped the drives, and Parity Sync has begun. After it completes, I plan to remove one of the original 4tb drives and upgrade it with the 12tb I just took out and pick up another 14tb while still on sale and replace the other 4tb drive from the original install. Thanks Again Jonathan

I currently have a 14tb and a 12tb for dual parity. I want to upgrade the 12tb to a new 14tb. I have a case with hot swap drive cage. Can I just stop the array, swap the 12tb for the 14tb, assign the new 14tb as a parity drive, then restart the array and let it rebuild? Is it really that simple?

So you moved. Did you get a new router for your service, or use the same router you had in the old house? Reason I ask is that Plex requires an open port (32400) pointed to the server. Also, you can download a program call Advanced IP Scanner. Install and run from any PC on your network and you will see all of the devices within the specified range of IPs. Do you have a static IP assigned to the Unraid server? Router may not see it as it is not using DHCP

Decided to just order a 14tb for 2nd parity drive, was only $10 more than the 12tb. Figure that is the easiest, most straight forward way to achieve what I want, and I get to use both 10tbs in the array

Back Story..... My array currently is ... P=12T D1=4T D2=4T D3=6T D4=10T D5=12T (6T used) Ver 6.9.1 I just ordered 2 new 10T drives. I want to pull the D5 12T out of array, putting a 10T in its place, use the 12T as a 2nd parity, then add the 2nd new 10T Is this possible?

It still crashed after a day or so. Do you think I may be better off removing the Ryzen 3 3200G APU and putting in a newer Ryzen 5 3600?
