What is the current go-to HBA card for unraid? I've been running a H200 for years now and thinking I might upgrade to something PCIe 3 as have a Z490 motherboard. I have 7 hdds and the cache ssd all on the current card. 9207-8i?

Thank you. I had ordered some new HBA cables but I don't think that's the issue. I'll replace the drive.

I have an array of 8TB (parity) and 5 * 3TB drives. In total about 80% full. One of my 3TB drives is giving errors which I need to replace. My thought process was to put in a second 8TB drive to use as a second parity. Once that was done then pull the drive giving errors and replace it, letting the array rebuild the replaced drive. The second parity is coming up at 20 hours building and 29% done. It was rebuilding at the normal rate of 100+ MB/s but has now dropped off to about 20-30KB/s with build time of about 10 years. The drive to be replaced is at nearly 900,000 errors which is almost the same as the number of "writes". Unsure really what to do next. 1) Stop the parity build on the second 8TB drive and just replace the 3TB (with a like drive) and hope for the best? 2) Stop the build and try replacing the 3TB with the 8TB currently having parity built to it? 3) Stop the parity and try and get anything I can off the 3TB drive? 4) Any other options?
