Veggies's post in How to find my parity drive? was marked as the answer"The Gurus are going to need the Diagnostics file. Post it up in a new post in this thread."
I have attached the diagnostics zip file to the post.tower-diagnostics-20230926-1124.zip
"You added six more drives. Which ones are they in the screen capture above?"
The 1TB, Disk 9, is an SD drive that I used as the cache drive.
The two 8 TB drives, Disk 1 & 2, I think were the two data drives
The remaining 6 drives, Disks 3-8, one of them was the Parity Drive and the remaining 5 I added. I stand corrected, I added 5 drives to the original 4 drives that were in my Tower.
"Did you get a HBA to add more SATA ports? If so, what are the details on it?"
Yes, I installed "MZHOU PCIe SATA Controller Card 10 Port with 10 SATA Cables and Low Profile Bracket - 6Gbps SATA 3.0 PCIe Card,Support 10 Port SATA 3.0 Devices" from Amazon.

"EDIT: Did you 'retire' an HBA?"
I used the three SATA ports on the mother board and then filled up the SATA ports on the HBA. If the question is asking if a old HBA was replaced with a new one, the answer is, no. This is my first attempt adding more than three drives to this motherboard.
"Those errors suggests a RAID controller was in use before or now, see if those disks mount with the UD plugin"
I have never configured the drives in any RAID format.
I have definitely learned my lesson in marking all the drives before I do anything like this again.
