[Decade Old System Upgrade Path]

Thanks, I like your perspective. Sometime one can't see the forest for all the trees.

 

 

[Decade Old System Upgrade Path]

I built an Unraid system back in March 2011 (Unraid 4.7) using 2 SuperMicro AOC-SASLP-MV8 controller cards
with thirteen 2 TB (3Gbps) drives (single parity drive) - even though that controller card uses a Marvel SATA controller chip,
I have had no major issues.

 

However, the system (now running Unraid 6.11.1) is aging rather fast it seems -- some of the drives are 10 years old and starting to
have read errors.

 

My research tells me that I should be able to replace the two SuperMicro cards with two LSI 6Gbps SAS HBA 9200-8I IT Mode
8 port cards, but I am wondering if there are any other gotchas that I need to be aware of? Especially since my base system

components are ancient.

 

My intent is to slowly migrate out all the old 2TB/3Gbps drives for larger capacity modern 6Gbps drives (Seagate Exos is the plan).

Plus the fact that I chose ReiserFS back in 2011 and I would like to move to XFS or some file system that is supported

by the Linux kernel goring forward.

 

Anyway just wondering how bumpy the road ahead might be. Thanks for your time reading all of this...

 

Base System Components circa 2011:
    Intel DP55WG Motherboard w/ 6 SATA 3Gbps ports, 8 GB RAM
    Intel i5-760 Quad Core 2.8GHz LGA1156 95W CPU
    Lexmark JD-Firefly 8GB USB Boot Flash
    Intel 250GB SSD Cache drive
    2 x SuperMicro AOC-SASLP-MV8 4xPCIe Controller Cards
    4 x iStarUSA 5-in-3 SATA Trays
    PC Power & Cooling Silencer MkII 950W PSU

OK, thanks all for the advice, replace I will.

I have a replacement. I thought that "Current Pending Sector" since it was singular just meant that a single sector, number 1323, was pending.

 

[(SOLVED) SMART Status Offline uncorrectable: 1]

Running UnRaid 6.3.5 for two days now since upgrading from 6.3.4 and I recently received a WebGui notification that stated:

 

    UnRaid Disk 1 SMART health [198]: 24-06-2017 1:51 Warning - offline uncorrectable 1 WDC_WD20EARS-00MVWB0_WD-WMAZA4052027 (sdd)

  

The WebGui Dashboard is showing an Array Status of Disk 1 with an orange triangle that has a context menu that states: 

   Reallocated sector count: 2

   Current pending sector: 1323

   Offline uncorrectable: 1

   Click for context menu

 

However, Disk 1 status from the main array page is still showing a green status with reads and writes, but no errors.

 

Disk 1 is a Western Digital drive that is 6 years old, do I need to replace it??

 

My system hardware specs/plugins-list, some screen shots to accompany my words above, and the SMART Diagnostics file for Disk 1 are attached in the zip file.

 

Thanks for any advice/help.
