Thanks for the reply Just realised I got my EADS and EARS mixed up!!! I've fixed that up now - does that make a difference to your response. Geez, I am showing my noobness! The other important thing to mention was that the two drives were successfully connected and working without the jumper to pins 7&8. I was told to clear the drives, and install the jumper. I removed the drives, re-synced parity, and then tried to add the two jumpered drives, and that is when the fun began. Thanks again. Regards, Sammy.

Hi all, I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. My server has 12 x 1.5TB WD EADS drives up and running with a 2 TB WD EADS parity drive. I have added 2 x WD20EARS with pins 7&8 jumpered - and the array does not come online says that there are drives missing, etc. However when I put in one drive (I've tried both separately) the array comes online and recognises that a new drive has been added, and do I wish to clear it, etc. Do I need to clear each drive as I introduce it, or should I be able to add two new drives and clear them at the same time? Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Many thanks, Sammy.
