Thanks . I will not use a graphics cards, so i will use the GPU PCI slot . My disks are 8 mechanicals 3.5 .

Thanks . have the slot of GPU free, is a better option than the other 2?

Hello , today i receive the Broadcom 9300-16i SATA / SAS HBA Controller IT-Mode 12Gb PCIe x8 LSI , with IT mode for Unraid accordingly to seller from ebay. Now i have doubt regarding power, the board is just powered by the PCI slot ? Or i have to connect 6 pin cable to power it? My motherboard is a Gigabyte Z390 UD. On the attached image, i guess it´s a power socket?

Yes , you are right...It´s a SAS enclosure, a PCI one...

No , i don´t have.... But the 8 disks are all full with movies .... if i add them again it won´t show up the movies ? The share are the same. Imagine , i have a share named movies with 1000 movies with 2 disks. 500 movies per disk . If i take back one disk , it will show only 500 movies, later , if i add the other disk again , it will show the 1000 again? The disks were not formated,, they just not connected because of the faulty old SAS board. So , to put it up the server again, when i boot it, it show it , the missing disks, i have to perform new config , without erasing the others disks. I guess when the new SAS arrive, i stop the array , shutdown server, connect the disks , and add it again...

Hello , My SAS delivery his soul to the creator , now i´m waiting a new one... My server have 14 disks , so , i have to put aside 8 disks , and create new config with 6 disks. I have a share with movies, the library now is incomplete( it only shows the movies from the 6 disks) until the new SAS arrive, when it arrive i will recover all the movies on the other 8 disks , right? i just have to add to the array pool again , and everything will be ok?

Thank you, Is there any known issues with Broadcom 9300-16i SATA ? Broadcom LSI 9300-16i 16-Port 12Gb/s SAS/SATA HBA ZFS TrueNAS UnRAID IT Mode | eBay

I´ve already done that. And the cables are ok. Which SAS cables you recomend?

Hello , the problem persists. Diagnostics attached tower-diagnostics-20230316-1921.zip

OK. Later i will try it. Thank you

Hello, Yesterday after a reboot of the server, one of my disks of the array , don´t let assigned again on the array . It appear to sign it , but when i try it , it doesn´t work , and the only option is format . I only have movies on these disk , it´s a 16tb disk , before i format, do i have a chance to see the content ? I just wabt to know what movies are, to download it again. I found the main cause, , i was making some maintenance on the case , and somehow i touch on the power cable of these disk , which provocate a reboot... Thw weird thing, is if try to assigned it ( first photo), the disk appear on the list, after i try iy, it won´t assigned anb dissapear from the list ( second photo), Only if i reboot again , it will show on the list. Photos attached. Is there a way to show the content? Or after the format i have a way to ( with software ) not to recover , but to see the content? thanks

Could you elaborate more?

Thank you so much . When i arrive home , i will try it. When i finish all, i can delete the older shares? (music 1, music 2... movies 1, movies 2...) The quotation marks are to write on the command?

How ? If i want to have only one share for movies , and now i have 6 shares for movies, one per disk... They are not empty... My goal is one share for movies with all disks included on it , without deleting the content of 6 disks to perform it...
