So, good news. I got two Moelx to Sata power splitters, hooked them up and the last two drives connected direct to PSU without any splitters. Rather than adding in the three new drives, I did a new config with existing and started the rebuild and... no errors and everything been going fine. Going fine for an hour now, usually I got the errors and red ball withing 1 to 10 mins. Thanks @trurl and @itimpi for the suggestion. This looks to have resolved it.

Don't have any, ordered two sets of Molex to Sata, they will be here tomorrow, so I will swap those along with the drives. Might as well use the new ones. Thanks for the suggestion on that, would never have though of that piece in particular.

Interesting. They are indeed SATA to SATA ones. I'll check how many Molex to Sata ones I have and maybe swap out to those.

Yeah, I ran smart, nothing, all clear. Even pulled one out and ran an extended test, fine. Like I said, I've swapped the entire PSU, I am using splitters, the 1 ->4 units, three of em, all on different PSU leads. I changed out those as well and yeah, cable management SUCKS, lol, as in nothing bundled up, etc. I heard tie up the data cables neatly can cause issues. I'm at a loss as to what might be happening here, driving me nuts, hence the three new drives. Try that and then pull what data I can off the three old ones

Yeah, I figured New Config is going to be the way to go. I've attached the Diag, wonder what they might say. I continued to get rad errors after every attempted fix. I replace drive cables at least three times, swapped power supplies, swapped controllers and even swapped out the mobo/cpu for a different one in case it was some weird PCIe issue or something. I've essential swapped everything but the disks, lol. Diag.zip

2 x Parity disks and 10 x Data disks. Few days ago 3 of my drives got red balled with tons of read errors. I've basically replaced every thing in the server other than the drives and same issue, so ordered three new drives. I'll mount the three old ones using unassigned plugin to see what data I can get off them. Question on best way forward. 1 - stop array 2 - Unassing bad drives. 3 - shutdown 4 - add new drives and power back up Now, should I just use new config at this point, since I can't do a rebuild do to losing three drives? So new config would be the quickest and esiest way forward, building new parity off all my existing disks? Thanks for any suggestions.

I have four 3x5 SATA drive cages I am no longer using. 1 - One x iStarUSA - Model - BPU-350SATA-BLACK - $80 2 - One x Icy Dock - Similar to the MB155SP-B unit, except this is an older model, uses 3 x Molex power connectors. - $80 3 - Two x Supermicro - Model - CSE-M35T-1B - $100 each Each units includes all their drive sleds, screws for the hard drives and mounting screws. I am willing to ship, I'm on the west coast of BC, buyer pays shipping. If you want all four I will ship for free.

Resolved, updated from 6.10 to 6.12 and network option now back in the VM config.

I added a 2.5Gb NIC to the server today. I switch Eth0 (onboard) and Eth1 (new one) so the 2.5 would be primary, setup DNS and then port down on the onboard as that is now unplugged. Now when I go into VM Manager, my one Win 10 VM has no networking options. They are gone and when started, has no networking. Hopefully someone can help sort out what happened here and how I can add the NIC back into the VM. Thanks! tower-diagnostics-20230716-2348.zip Win10XML.txt

Sorry, yes, you'd need to check Github for any options or forks. Also, there is this -

Fan control, I'd recommend https://getfancontrol.com/ as a good way to control fans and ramp them up when needed based on temps. Here is a video on how to do a lot fo the setup and config -

I'll have to pass, I'm in Canada, shipping from there... just to risky and expensive, but thanks!

Where abouts are you located?

Doesn't work at least on my system. I can excluded an entire selection, but that isn't what I want. I want to exclude my Plex cache and transcode folders only.

OK, how do I exclude more than one folder? I've got two for plex I want to exclude. If I past one folder in, it's there, but then how do I add a second?
