I am finally able to move forward with upgrading the hardware that my Unraid runs on. I have been running this I5-2500K for a while and feel it is finally time to move up. Changing to an Intel I7, new motherboard, memory and new power supply should be easy enough. I am worried that the BIOS method for hard drive identification has changed. The current system is using the old method and I doubt a new motherboard still supports it. Should I expect any issues? I am planning on getting a new external drive and copying the data to it just to have a backup.
Currently it is only a file server and Plex host. No VMs at the current time.
Should I upgrade from 6.9.2 before or after the hardware upgrade?
Thanks in advance.
