Thank you for that tip! I've added the script for next time. Now I'm trying to figure out how to fix this without making things worse. Unraid is still pretty new to me... I currently have two Pool Devices: Cache_nvme (the broken one) -btrfs -1tb -currently reporting 500+ read errors. Zero write/flush/corruption/generation errors. Since it's nvme and not sata there is no cable to fail/replace. But I'll probably still try to re-seat it before buying a replacement. Cache_ssd -xfs -512gb -Zero errors From what I gather by reading the FAQs I should be able to replace the failing btrfs drive and I'll only lose the appdata which only lives on that drive. I still don't understand why the appdata folders on both pool drives aren't the same. Once I replace the failed drive, does it make sense to reformat the xfs cache and change it to btrfs?

I noticed my unraid box was a bit louder than usual even though there wasn't much happening. Checked the unraid log and a billion messages saying: Dec 9 22:32:02 marvin kernel: critical medium error, dev nvme0n1, sector 78259464 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x0 phys_seg 1 prio class 0 Dec 9 22:32:03 marvin kernel: nvme0n1: I/O Cmd(0x2) @ LBA 78259304, 8 blocks, I/O Error (sct 0x2 / sc 0x81) MORE DNR At the same time: Dashboard > Array > SMART says healthy. Main > Pool Devices > cache drive nvme0n1 says 0 errors. No warning/error pop-ups in the GUI. I'm familiar with SMART and know not to rely it it to tell me where there are problems. Is the Error count on the Main page only showing SMART errors? How can I make sure I get notified about future problems like this?

I've been running a Xeon E3 in a bitfenix case stuffed with SSDs plus and external (usb3) 10gb drive for media storage. It's my main windows workstation, 'gaming rig', virtualbox host, and sonarr and plex server. It still functions great but I'm out of space. Its time to try unraid and upgrade that storage. I also need a bit of 4k transcoding so looking for something with a Passmark score of 17000 or above. Budget is about $2300. The Fractal Define R5 case looks great and people seem to love it. I see no reason to look at any others. I'm pretty set on the i7-10700k processor. It can do the transcoding work and leaves a ton of processing power for a few random linux VMs and Windows with approximately 749 Chrome tabs spread across three dozen windows. Really not sure what MB to go with. I chose the MSI MAG Z490 but not for any good reasons. It has a lot of SATA 6 connections, 4 RAM slots, and is in stock. Somebody please tell me to buy a different one. Also not set on the # or size of drives to start with but I know I need 20tb slow-storage + 3tb for windows and linux VMs. A cache drive, fast VM drive, and parity drive...right? cache: 1tb ssd VMs: 3tb ssd parity: 10tb hdd? data: 3x 8tb? Doesn't leave much room to grow, does it? I'd like to do PCI passthrough of a GPU for light gaming in windows. I have an asus GTX 750 Ti 2GB in my current machine and eventually I could put it in this new build. Or I could buy something y'all recommend instead. Here's what I have right now. Roast m...wait, is that how this works? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/H68x7X
