I do think so too. That's the plan, moving the existing data from the drive to the other, given that the other one is healthy and then just add the new one back in. Not going for speed, system doesn't even has a cache drive, just 32GB RAM and a bunch of HDDs, only running Gigabit Networking so no need for cache, works just fine if it works;D We will see, I'm going to find out if the drive is dead first now

Germany, I can still return the drive and get a new one, it's only 2 weeks ago when I bought it. Doubt that a FW will help, every restart of the system makes the drive not showing up and also has a sound to it, like you would crush metal on metal. But I can try that.

That's actually a really good idea, will try that now! I have, sort of, until I had to roll out the machine because of storage limitations, it was my mistake not to do a complete pre-clear there Tested 4 cables, drive doesn't shop up regularly with all of them, BIOS runs in AHCI, RAID doesn't even work on this mobo;D

It's not new hardware but hardware that runs for over 7 Years now, without any known issues. Thinking the same with the drive, the system just crashed again while trying to copy 200GB of movies, locking up everything in the process. I do think that the drive is dead, doesn't even show up in the BIOS properly only after a reboot while the other two work just fine, despite being all on the Sata3G, they all work. Ihm probably gonna put the Parity on Sata6G just for the sakes of doing and leaving the rest on Sata3G, while replacing the other drive Ihm going to keep you posted

server-diagnostics-20210103-1106 Sorry for the late reply, I had to get some sleep. Diagnostics downloaded this morning from the machine, I hope they are any helpful and also, the build in, SystemLog from this morning. Maybe someone can get something from that. If I have to or should tweak some settings regarding syslog file etc. pls tell me Edit: If it helps, I can attach the smart data read out from the disks, once I have them. SystemLog 03.01.2021, Build in.txt

So, first of all: I'm new to this forum as well as to having an Unraid server, so please excuse any "nooby" mistakes or moments. To the issues: My newly build server keeps crashing while transferring, relatively, big chunks of data, ranging from 60 to 160GB. Sometimes it crashes in the middle of the transfer, sometime 2mb short of finishing it. I know, Syslog and Diagnostics are useful for this here, I'm working on it as I'm writing this. The issue is just that the whole server locks up, won't respond or is accessible trough the WebGui, even the reset won't work only a hard reset, which is not my favorite by any means. Can it be the case that a single hdd can be the reason that the machine is locking up? I know that they are a hundred different reasons for that, but a bad cable, drive? Or how can the system completely lock up? I just need a little think help with all these possibilities of what this could cause, given that the system locked up 3 times in 15 hours. Btw: I´m also having trouble sending the mentioned drive into sleep mode, I just noticed, so I somewhat hope that it's the drive. Otherwise, I'm a little stumped with all of this Greetings, Alex
