Thanks for the assist, 6 hours to go until parity is done. Today I am adding the rest of the drives and begin moving files to it.

Thank you for your response. The Parity Invalid I had seen on another thread that was common until it was done but what threw me off is the Array has 1 failed device. It passed the SMART test too, all green and good. I could post the results on here but just wondering if anyone else had seen these seem "red flags" go up when spinning up a new server.

First off specs: ASRock Z690M-ITX/ax with most recent Bios. i5-13500T, 32gb DDR4 Ram, 1 16TB Seagate Exos X16, 2 2TB Samsung 970 EVO Plus, Coolermaster V850 SFX, Cable Matters SAS to Sata 3.3 ft ( SFF- 8087 to Sata Forward Breakout), LSI 6Gbps SAS HBA LSI 9201-8i P20, Jonsbo N3 case. Not my first pc build but it is my first time making a build for UNRAID. 2 NVME Drives are on the board, those were found no problem. I set the 16TB to be the Parity drive then got the error , the PC booted first time no issues. Array has 1 failed device. In the device list it shows all 3 drives but Parity 16tb shows invalid. Under parity settings, i'm currently running a smart test and it reads all the identifier information off of the drive, such as Model Family, Device Model, Serial Number...so it does see it. Smart overall-health says Passed in Green in the Identity tab. So, is it a lemon? Do I have to wait for the parity to run? Self test is currently 30% done. Array is started and parity sync is at 10.7%. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
