The Orico 8 bay is being swiftly returned for refund, too much risk for me.

Hi, sorry to resurrect an old thread. I have bought the Orico 8 bay (NS800U3) which is the USB3.0 version of the unit discussed in the thread above. I’m experiencing all the symptoms of slowness in parity rebuilds (such as 5.7Mb/s for 7 days) and the drives all being identified as: Jmicron_Generic_Disk00 Jmicron_Generic_Disk01 Jmicron_Generic_Disk02 Jmicron_Generic_Disk03 Jmicron_Generic_Disk04 Jmicron_Generic_Disk05 Jmicron_Generic_Disk06 Jmicron_Generic_Disk07 To note: if you shut down the server, remove ANY one of the 8 disks and restart will mean the Orico drive bay will reallocate the drives to be seen as Disk00 to Disk06 (Disk07 no longer exists)... ... when I remove the disk I assigned to Drive4 (Disk04) in the array I see that Unraid reports Drive7 (Disk07) is missing due to the Orico reassignment, which I think is kicking off another 7 to 10 day rebuild. Due to the S.M.A.R.T. data being visible in the “Identify” tab I would like to know if there’s a way to set Unraid to use the device serial number to identify the disks within the Orico unit just like it identifies when the drive is directly connected to a SATA port on the motherboard? This way I can be sure Unraid is seeing the correct Drive(s) present or missing instead of the moving naming convention happening with the JMicron_Generic names.
