That worked, thank you.

I skipped slot 3 because I had 5 HDDs but one showed it was failing. So I removed it and it was in the 3rd slot on the HDD cage. Figured I'd leave that slot open if I replace it later. If that is the issue... then no big deal, I'll use 1-4. How do I go about unassigning the HDDs from the the datapool? Do I just go to the Main tab, click the drop down for each slot and select no device? If that is the case, I tried that, then once the datapool had no device selected for each, I could not start the array, it says missing cache disk. Even though the cache disk is separate from datapool. It is a nvme SSD. Thanks in advance for the help.

@JorgeB Forgive me, I'm not sure how to do that. Would you mind walking me through what you're asking me to do?

After a reboot when I click on Start on the Main tab, I get an error saying that my ZFS pool won't start "Wong POOL state, invalid config" Any thoughts?

I am trying to move 5 HDDs from my previous windows server (HDDs were in a software RAID5 pool).... I am using a M.2 ASM1166 expansion card. When I connected the 5 HDDs, 3 of them show up in UNRAID as unassigned drives that I could add to a pool as intended, 2 of them don't show up at all. None of them show up when I go into the BIOS. I took the 2 that don't show in UNRAID out of the server and connected them to the old windows machine and deleted the pool they were in, and formatted the drives. They still don't show up in UNRAID. In windows they appear to be in working order. What am I missing? I know nothing about linux and am brand new to UNRAID... In case it's relevant information, I have a Gigabyte Gaming X AX Z790 motherboard, 12700k CPU. I believe the sata M.2 adapter I bought this one... https://www.amazon.com/Expansion-Indicator-Computer-Accessories-Supporting/dp/B0CCYMJCS6

Thanks @trurl @JorgeB Yeah, I still don't understand why NTP won't set the correct time, but manually setting did allow me to initiate the trial. Question, Is it okay to stop the parity sync? I installed my 5 HDDs that will be in the array (1 parity, 4 storage HDD). These are new drives. I got ahead of myself and started my array but I didn't perform the Memtest86+ Should I stop the parity sync and reboot and perform the Memtest86+ step? Let this sync complete? For reference, the 5 drives are 18TB each. The parity sync estimates it'll complete in 18 hours...

I just built a the PC, made the USB flash boot disk, I boot from disk, it installs, and then I go into the web interface from the local IP address, I click on start trial and I get Download Error 5. I am not connected to the internet. I cannot install Apps, my system thinks that it is Dec 31 2022, it won't update time automatically with NTP. I have made multiple copies of the boot disk, nothing works. I've reset router. I have it set as static IP with my router allocating the IP I assigned it. Motherboard is Gigabyte Gaming X AX Z790 CPU is Intel i7 12700k 32GB G Skill DDR5 ram Case is In Win PE689 1TB WD nvme that I'll use for cache drive and for apps. I have some HDDs for the array but haven't even gotten far enough to add them as I can't Connection is Realtek 2.5gigabit Ethernet port on motherboard. When I'm in the web interface, and go to tools, drivers... it appears its using RealTek RTL-8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver. I'm about ready to scrap the idea of using Unraid... Oh and the windows flash boot disk maker tool only gives stable build options... thought maybe a beta build would have a driver that I am potentially missing or something, but I can't try that. I chose "Next" and there are no books options in the dropdow. Pretty frustrated. Coming from a windows server previously, I thought Unraid sounded much lighter and also more flexible, but this is not a great start.
