MHQJRH PCI Express SATA 3.0 Controller Card Not asm anything as far as I can tell. So you should be ok. Let me know if you get it up and running ok, as it seems everyone is all about the LSI cards over the ASM cards.

Thank you, everything came back up perfectly as you suggested. On a side note, is there an LCI card or Marvell card you recommend for my case use? There's so many different models, all around the same price I don't know what to pick...

Aha ok I think I understand. And I shouldn't lose any data right? Since it's a disk that wasn't being used anyways?

Ok, so if I'm reading this correct, I just need to do a New Config in Tools, and preserve all settings (array & pool slots), this should put me back where I was pre stopping the array?

ok, understood. It would seem my only option is to do the New Config and start the array with the 'missing' drive. I just don't know if this will cause me to lose everything or not? I have downloaded the diagnostics folder so can post whatever is needed to help figure out this mess

Hi Veah, what do you mean it will want the parity to build? I don't use a parity drive.

Hey everyone, My misfortune started a week ago when I piurchased a new drive for unraid. I used a no name pci sata card to add it, and initially I was able to add it to the array. Shortly after, i noticed that it was throwing errors. I never assigned any shares to it, as I was waiting to make sure the drive worked before starting to load data onto it. People suggested I get an LCI card instead, as those pci sata cards don't work well. So since I was going to remove the drive while I waited for the LCI card to show up, I stopped the array, and removed the drive from the array, and then proceeded to clear it (on the same page of unraid). I then realized that I can't start my array again with the other drives, as it's saying that disk is missing and array cant start because of it. So now I'm stuck and don't know what to do, as I would like to not lose any data on the other drives that are untouched. What should I do? Thanks for your help 🫠
