Thank you for the reply! I'm just doing some future proofing with the large parity disks. Those 1 TB disks are all from old gaming PCs that I've put into my first NAS as I was tinkering and building out my rig. They will be replaced in the next few months with some more 18 TB disks!

Hi, So plenty of discussions and good documentation on how to upgrade a parity disk to a larger one, but not so much around downgrading to a smaller drive. Is there anything specific to know? Or am I safe to follow the standard documentation for upgrading a parity disk? For some context, I have a 22 TB refurbished disk that I'm returning since it's under warranty and it developed a SMART error after only 2 months of uptime. There's a much better deal on an 18 TB disk that I snagged so I would like to use that as my parity instead. My 3 other disk are all 1 TB or less.

Hmm maybe? I'm using a brand new Terramaster D6-320 hard drive enclosure that's plugged in to a Beelink EQ12 with USB-C.

Hi, I recently bought this disk and am having trouble formatting it to use in the array. I have tried running a Preclear and it seems to hang around the 1-2% mark, but SMART check shows that the disk seems healthy. I've attached the Preclear logs and system diagnostics. preclear_disk_ZX21RYT3_13901.txt tower-diagnostics-20240607-1506.zip

That's good to know. I guess for the time being I'll just need to wait and try again in the future.

Ok I think this is the issue! I tried with a different PC and it was able to get to the end without a black screen. Now my issue is that there's no IPv4/IPv6 address being set, but I think that's ok. I don't need to troubleshoot that issue on this PC since I won't be using it for Unraid. This is quite unfortunate, since I thought Beelinks were really good for using with Unraid. Thankfully I only bought it a few days ago so I guess I'm returning it and starting from scratch. Thank you for helping me troubleshoot Jorge!

Thanks for the reply. I tried this and it made no difference, still experiencing the crash during install.

Hi, I am trying to install Unraid 6.12.10 onto a brand new Beelink EQ12 machine(https://a.co/d/2guYPQk). During the first time setup, it seems to crash and gives me a black screen without finishing the setup. From what I've read/watched online, the logs should remain and I should be able to see the IP address of the running server. I will try and provide as much detail as needed, but it's difficult since the screen goes black and I can't read the logs.
