While I do have a SAS capable HBA, and 6 SAS 10TB drives among my 12 installed in the array, these particular 20TB SMR drives are SATA (just confirmed by looking at the label and the connector).

Oh well. Was hoping that since several Linux versions can use them, it would be a driver that could be added.

Probably should have said that I have a fully working system on the unit using IT mode HBA, with 2 parity, 10 data drives. I am looking at swapping in these 20TB drives that I acquired as not being usable in WD 102 JBODs in data centers, if they could.

Are there any drivers, or even tips, for getting Western Digital DC HC650 20TB SATA Host-managed SMR drives working in an UnRaid system, 6.12.13 currently? Using a Dell R510, the system recognizes the drives just fine. If I just try to replace an existing drive in the array, it fails with transmit timeouts, 15 straight timeouts, and then puts the drive into an unused state. For fun I tried a preclear and that worked all the way through each step, so seemed to be a possibility. When putting them into use in the array, same timeouts. Are these possible?

Had to reboot my 6.6.6 system due to running out of memory (currently have 2G but working to rectify) and becoming completely unresponsive after sending out constant emails for Seg Faults (seems to do that around 120 days of uptime or so) - 623 of the following messages throughout the day yesterday until the last one at 12:20AM and then no way to get into the server, even the connected keyboard/monitor: /bin/sh: line 1: 26448 Segmentation fault /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix/scripts/monitor &> /dev/null I have zero VMs, zero Dockers, zero plugins. I'm literally using this as a file server right now and that is it. When it goes administrative unresponsive, the shares keep right on trucking with me being able to push and pull just fine. When I try to update the OS to 6.7.0, this is the result in the script window: plugin: updating: unRAIDServer.plg plugin: downloading: https://s3.amazonaws.com/dnld.lime-technology.com/stable/unRAIDServer-6.7.0-x86_64.zip ... done plugin: downloading: https://s3.amazonaws.com/dnld.lime-technology.com/stable/unRAIDServer-6.7.0-x86_64.md5 ... done Archive: /tmp/unRAIDServer.zip creating: /tmp/unRAIDServer/EFI-/ creating: /tmp/unRAIDServer/EFI-/boot/ inflating: /tmp/unRAIDServer/EFI-/boot/bootx64.efi inflating: /tmp/unRAIDServer/EFI-/boot/ldlinux.e64 inflating: /tmp/unRAIDServer/EFI-/boot/libcom32.c32 inflating: /tmp/unRAIDServer/EFI-/boot/libutil.c32 inflating: /tmp/unRAIDServer/EFI-/boot/mboot.c32 inflating: /tmp/unRAIDServer/EFI-/boot/menu.c32 inflating: /tmp/unRAIDServer/EFI-/boot/syslinux.cfg inflating: /tmp/unRAIDServer/bzfirmware inflating: /tmp/unRAIDServer/bzfirmware.sha256 inflating: /tmp/unRAIDServer/bzimage inflating: /tmp/unRAIDServer/bzimage.sha256 inflating: /tmp/unRAIDServer/bzmodules inflating: /tmp/unRAIDServer/bzmodules.sha256 inflating: /tmp/unRAIDServer/bzroot inflating: /tmp/unRAIDServer/bzroot-gui unzip error 0 plugin: run failed: /bin/bash retval: 1 The download completes in about 10 seconds. mediaserver-diagnostics-20190516-1441.zip
