Just wanted to say thank you guys for the help. Been on vacation and had a little break from everything once I got all the drives transferred and replaced. Everything you guys suggested worked. Much thanks. Great forum so far 😁

As title says I am replacing all 12 of my 2tb drives with 7 8tb drives. 2 will go to parity, and 5 will he for the rest of the storage. My question is, when I eventually get all 7 drives in, will all my data be essentially moved to those new drives since they are larger? If not is there a way for me to make that happen? All 12 drives have had over 2 million errors each and 2 have physically died. My current parity drive is almost done re-syncing data, then once the first one is done will do start the 2nd parity drive. My plan of attack was once those 2 are done, replace the dead drives first. Obviously one at a time to rebuild the data. End goal is have all 12 2tb drives out of system replaced mmthe new 7 8tb drives. All data intact on new drives. Thank you

1050ti is the next option I am thinking about. I think the 570 is just not going to work. I did everything OP did and still no dice. Just loads up with like 400x300 res and I can only use splashtop. Teamviewer would just be black.

Was just about post up another thread, I to have a 570. Lets hope someone can help.

Thanks for the help everyone. Build is up and running. Here she is completed

Ok, great, ty I have got several things coming in Monday, rest will be here this week. I will def keep this post updated.

Alright guys, so I am going to be upgrading some hardware soon and here is some questions I was thinking about. When i move my HD's over to new case, is order of drives important? They are in a 2U server blade with a raid card flashed to IT mode. Will unRaid rebuld the data? Can unRaid identify the HD's by serial? What I wanted to do if it can is mark them by serial as I take them out, so I can put them in that order so to speak when I transfer them into new case. Raid card will be be transferred as well. Things that are going to be new. CPU MOBO Case PSU SAS expander Things I am taking from old server MEM Raid card (flashed to IT mode) HD's (12) USB flash drive (although I bought a new one to use in place of the older one) And any other tips and pointers anyone might have if they have done similar/upgrades/lateral moves.. Thanks I can get links to parts if need be.
