Thank you for your fast response! I will try to send it again!

Hello everyone, I'm reaching out to this community for advice on an endeavor that is somewhat new to me. A bit about myself: I am a medical doctor with no formal training in server management or IT infrastructure. However, I've always had a passion for technology and computers. It wasn't until the arrival of my first child that I felt the need to set up a homelab for various purposes such as storage, management, and processing of surveillance camera images, media content (movies, series), image and video backups, and for running Home Assistant. Currently, I'm utilizing UNRAID and Home Assistant on separate VM machines in Proxmox. I recently purchased a Yottamaster PS500C3 enclosure with the intention of connecting two WD161KFGX-68AFPN0 16TB HDDs to the USB-C port of my notebook. My notebook, equipped with a GPU and specs I consider quite decent for personal use at home, was not in use, and I wanted to leverage it as a server in my homelab. This setup would mainly handle backup management, and media processing (for courses, movies, series, etc.). As a novice, I thought connecting the Yottamaster enclosure via USB-C (USB3.1 Gen 1 5Gbps I guess) was a good start, despite reading about potential issues with stability, compatibility, and performance on this very forum. My concern arises because I only receive SMART information, temperature, firmware version, etc., correctly from one of the HDDs at any given time, never both simultaneously. UNRAID does not report an error on the other HDD, but these details are simply absent. I'm not using hardware RAID. I've tried repositioning the HDDs in all possible slots within the Yottamaster, trying different USB-C and USB-A ports, and even connecting to a different computer (Mac) without success. I understand that USB-C might not be the ideal connection method, but if this setup is only for backups and not required to be accessed all the time, could it be viable? Additionally, is there any way to modify my notebook to improve the setup, possibly converting a connection for future use via HBA? Please forgive me if my query seems absurd. I should also mention that I am from Brazil, where the cost of computing products has been exceedingly high due to substantial taxes. This has made it challenging to easily acquire or upgrade technology, influencing my decision to work with what I already have. Notebook Specs: Processor: Intel Core i5-9300H (9th Gen, 4 cores, 8 MB cache, 2.4 GHz up to 4.1 GHz) RAM: 32 GB DDR4 3200 MHz (2x 16 GB) - not ECC Storage: 1 TB 5400 RPM SATA III HDD | 2x M.2 PCIe NVMe slots occupied by 1x Samsung V-Nand 970 Evo Plus NVMe M.2 500GB and 1x KingDian M2 NVME 1TB SSD (The HDD and Samsung SSD host a Windows 11 installation not used in the server setup, pending backup before potential removal. The 1TB SSD is utilized for LVM-local in Proxmox) Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 4 GB GDDR5 Network: Wi-Fi 802.11 ac 2x2 / Bluetooth v5.0 / Gigabit Ethernet I appreciate any guidance or suggestions you may have. Thank you for your time.

Hello! I've run into a problem with my Unraid trial setup that I'm hoping to get some assistance with. After my original USB flash drive failed, I found myself without a system backup. I started my Unraid OS system yesterday and I am still using Trial. Fortunately, I was able to recover the /config directory from the broke USB drive. Following this, I used the Unraid USB Creator to set up a new USB flash drive and copied the /config directory to it. However, upon booting from the new drive, I encountered a "Registration key / USB Flash GUID mismatch" error. In an attempt to resolve this, I tried to Replace The Key but faced another hurdle, receiving the error: "Error: {'message':'Request failed with status code 403','data':{'error':'KeyFile is not registered with Lime Technology - please contact support and provide your Keyfile.'}}" I understand that the registration key is linked to the unique GUID of the USB flash drive, and it appears that replacing the drive without properly updating this registration is at the heart of my dilemma. I'm seeking your advice on how to correct this mismatch and successfully associate my registration key with the new USB flash drive's GUID. For reference, here are the GUID details: Previous GUID: 21C4-B051-5122-XXXXXX301866 New GUID (Ending in): 3B1339911879 I would greatly appreciate any guidance on how to proceed with reassociating my registration key with the new GUID, or if there are any steps I may have overlooked in this process. Thank you so much for your time and support. Any help or advice you can provide would be invaluable. Best regards, unraidos-diagnostics-20240317-1321.zip
