Hello, I'm pretty new to Unraid, tried it for a day and liked it so much i bought it. I think my issue is similar to what this post proposes to fix (not certain though) but I have 3 x Seagate EXOS X16 which i have in a usb 3.1 Enclosure (this enclosure to be exact: (https://www.orico.cc/usmobile/product/detail/id/8541) connected to a SFF pc.
The problem I'm having is sometimes randomly the HDD either goes to sleep or its dropped somehow that causes the array to stop (The enclosure description on the website does say that it can go to sleep if its not being used!). the particular drive will then have a cross next to it (Device is Disabled, Contents Emulated). Yesterday I setup spin down delay on disk settings and everytime the drives spins down the array stops and i get the Device is Disabled msg again. I have noticed when i restart the enclosure and the drive reconnects, sometimes one of the drives will change their serial no from the usual number to something like (ST12000N_M001G-2MV103_000000123AE8-0:0 (sdd)) and become unassigned other times the serial is correct. so regardless of whether the drives spins down or i restart the unraid server entirely i get one of the drives as Device is Disabled, Contents Emulated msg. So far I feel like its only happening to this one specific drive in my array.
Would this fix potentially fix my problems? I know its specifically for Ironwolf HDDs but has anyone with EXOS version tried this or had this problem?
