Someone else using a Cyberpower UPS - this one in fact: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00BUJBDLK/ Cyberpower 1300VA/780W - it's worked just fine for me for nearly 2 years now. It's also kicked in once when we had a power cut. It beeped away for a bit, then Unraid did what i told it to do and carried out a controlled shutdown. Job done!

Thank you! It may be that my example is clear(?) enough to use to explain this - even if I did gloss over the fact that changing the format of the drive = nuking all the data on it. But I appreciate you confirming my thinking.

So to make sure I understand the concept that I'm going to do: I have an empty 1TB drive (with xfs) and a 2TB drive (reiserfs) with a small amount of data on it. Therefore copying data from 2TB drive to the 1TB drive. Format the 2TB drive just used. That gives me a 2TB drive with xfs. That drive will then be able to be the receiver for the data stored on the other 2TB drive I have Then format the other 2TB drive. Job done...? Is that fundamentally what's going on here? This is obviously an action that takes some planning - Google brought me here after I noticed that the two 1TB drives I added were in a different format (my upgrade path was 4.7 -> 6.1.9). Screenshot attached for ease of reference.

But that's got a black front or is it just the internals you want silver?! It needs to be a silver front as well - I meant the EX-H34A.....but I can see me sending that back as well. 145mm wide means there's an annoying gap around the edge of the cage I can see me getting a 4U case and being done with it.... Edit: although I've just spotted the EX-36

(Doesn't have to be 5 in 3) Does anyone know of a silver drive case that's available? I was going to get the Silverstone CFP51 (but long story mean that I didn't). Now that I want to add extra drives....it looks like it's no longer being made. It doesn't have to be easy to swap drives (would be a bonus) - it just has to be primarily silver since that's the case I've been using for my build. Ideally it would also have a fan to help with cooling (heat is currently not an issue). Edit: Going to try the Lian Li EX-H34S - that seems to be the only option I can find after hours of searching...

Thought so (phew!) - hopefully the other newbies out there can use these normal results to help understand their own results.

Just a sanity check please folks - my understanding thus far is that all is good on both drives (the reports were identical - aside from the fact that one drive took 3 hours longer to complete the script. This is the longer of the two). Both drives are WD EARS (2TB) and are both brand new: I think there's some issues with my router - it keeps dropping the wireless connection on a regular basis. Although this script was run via wired-ethernet, this might be signs of a bigger problem....
