I have migrated all my data to my new array, and I am yet to add parity. I am considering running a "Read check" on my array before adding the parity. Is there any value in this? I understand that once I have my parity drives installed, a "Parity check" will be checking the data against the parity data, but without parity, does a "Read check" do anything? I am specifically referring to the button at the bottom of the Main page, where you can also see options like Reboot/Shutdown/Clear Stats and the Start/Stop array buttons etc. So, is there a difference between a Parity Check and a Read Check? Without parity, does a Read Check do anything useful? Thanks for your information. I couldn't find anything in the manual regarding this, unfortunately.

This happened to me once like 18 months ago, not on Unraid at all, I was self-managing everything on a Fedora server. One day, one of my disks randomly had everything removed and a lot of data began redownloading automatically. To this day I have had no idea what caused it. This has nothing to do with Unraid, I hadn't even heard of Unraid back then, but what you've described sounds similar.

Oh that's weird, mine looks different! 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06) This is for my Fedora machine, it's got an i5-4460 in it. I don't know why it says Xeon E3-1200 🤨 I am going to guess this will show differently when I pick up the new CPU. Let's assume it will be normal and what you suggested will work I'll post here in a week or so if it doesn't!

Thanks for your response Simon, that should be helpful for when I purchase the CPU. I ran this on my current Fedora computer and it gave results in a different structure. It looks like "0.02.0" for my VGA item in the lspci list. I am probably running an old kernel version, but will I see a different output when doing it in unraid?

Hi all, I am new to unraid and looking to build a new Plex server using the i5-11500 and using unraid on it. I found a video that stated that hardware acceleration wasn't supported by unraid during early April. I also found two threads, this one and also this one, that discussed some issues with this CPU and getting it to work properly in unraid. Could I get a confirmation that this CPU is now fully supported out-of-the-box without any kernel or boot tweaks to get the iGPU/quicksync features to work? Are those aforementioned issues resolved? Thanks in advance for your help.
