Actually, looking at the MSI board that I have, it says it supports Non-ECC, ECC (Non-ECC Mode) Unbuffered. Would that work or should I just go get a different one? Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the info! Do you know of a good AM4 board that uses ECC RAM? I was hoping to go with a Ryzen 7 CPU because I currently have that in my gaming PC. I was thinking of upgrading that to a Ryzen 9 and move the Ryzen 7 into a new Unraid server.

Cost isn't really a concern, as this is for my data so its important. I am curious though, what kind of errors could I potencially see with non-ECC RAM? Thanks!

Thanks for the reply! I currently use my server for storing my files and Plex. I have docker installed and a few of the "recommended" plugins for unraid. I don't see myself doing much more with it at this time but I guess I never know. Future proofing a little is never a bad thing. As for ECC Ram, is that recommend? Thanks again!

Hey everyone! I am looking at upgrading my current unraid server's hardware. I am starting to notice its age. I am wondering if a MSI X570-A Pro would be a good motherboard. I have a brand new one and thought I could start with that and then put a Ryzen 7 5800x and go from there. Would that motherboard work alright or should I look at a different one. Thank you!

The transfer from Disk 3 to Disk 1 has finished but I noticed there are errors on Disk 1. I have tested multiple files and everything looks good and works. Should I be concerned? I clicked on Disk 1 and can't see anything out of the normal.

Thanks for the help! I don't care which drive is assigned to which slot. As long as the data is safe, it doesn't matter to me.

Ok, Thanks. All I have done is skip the steps 10-15 as per @jonathanm instructions. Once I verified the data from Disk 1 copied to Disk 4, I changed the file system of Disk 1 to XFS, formatted it and started copying the data from Disk 3 to Disk 1.

Can I leave it the way it is now and follow 10-15 when the transfer is done?

I thought I was supposed to. The instructions say to put the swap disk in the excluded list. Is this not correct anymore?

I have posted the error, Global Share settings and the Movies Share settings showing that Disk1 is not in the included.

I cleared Disk 1 and started to move the data from Disk 3 to it. I am getting an error that says 'disk1 disk2 disk3 is not defined / installed in the array. This will cause errors when writing to the array. Fix it here: Movies Settings'. When I click 'Movies Settings' I see that the included disks are 2,3,4 ( I set disk 1 to exclude in the global share settings). Should I be concerned about this? My data from Disk1 is now sitting on Disk4 so I am not too worried but I don't want parity to erase anything if it tries to fix anything. Thanks!

LOL! Thanks for the info! I will stop the array and do a format/change file system and rinse and repeat for the next drive!

Great thanks! If I now stop the array, change/format Disk1 (the disk I copied all data from) to XFS, then start the array, will this work? From there I will copy all data from another drive to this drive (Disk 1). I guess what I am wondering is, how will Unraid know where the files are? My shares are setup across all drives. Since I have moved everything from Disk 1 to Disk 4, how does it know where the files are? Is it done through the shares? Some of my folders have data across multiple disks.

Great thanks! I have checked a bunch of files( a lot) and all seems good. Is the verify step recommended? Also, do I have to do anything with parity? After I am done changing all of my drives to XFS, do I just need to run a parity check?
