Hello Unraid community,
This is my first time posting, so excuse me if I don't follow the rules or have posted in the wrong thread...
I recently bought 2 WD 18TB Easystore drives. I shucked them and tested them out in an external HDD bay, and it worked as expected (covering the 3.3v pin with tape). Then I put them in my array, powered via a Molex to SATA connector. I precleared them. One of them precleared with no problems (preread, postread, zeroing). The other had a couple of failed attempts at preclearing but finally it zeroed. Anyways, I followed Unraid's guide for upgrading the parity (which was 16TB at the time) and so stopped the array --> unassigned parity ---> ran the Array ---> restarted the server ---> stopped the array ---> assigned new 18 TB parity --> started the array and BAM! After a couple of seconds of rebuilding, I get the following errors (please see below).
The other 18TB HDD currently unassigned:
This has occurred for both 18TB instances. I have checked all my connectors (even with a multimeter to ensure no 3.3v) and the connector and cables powering these drives have been interchanged and shown to power/supply HDDs in the past. My original 16TB parity is unplugged; the docked containers that would be writing to the drives have been stopped (e.g. sabNZB). Please let me know if I should take any other precaution while not having a parity drive installed.
I have attached the diagnostics below.
Thank you in advance.
