I don't need the extra capacity at this point, just swapping out crusty old 3TB drives with 80k+ hours. The 12TB were still better $/TB too, at $14.92/TB. The 14TB were right at $15/TB.

My 12TB WD Red Plus drives arrived, when I checked the warranty status, they are showing good til 2027. Did the warranty get silently updated to 5 years on these drives?

Those are the Plus drives I linked, not Pro.

Credit to derfmcdoogal on Reddit, this is even better $/TB compared with the Seagate Exos deals. Also a known seller, Newegg. WD Red Plus 12TB NAS 7200RPM 256MB Cache Hard Drive @ $179.99 Don't forget this is Paypal quarter for Discover It cards, so that's an extra 5% discount (cash back) too. Canceled my Seagate Exos order for two drives, and changed to three of these Red drives. Would rather replace my older, slower drives, don't particularly need physical space efficiency.

Seagate Exos X18 18TB SATA 7200RPM Hard Drive @ $283.99 People on Slickdeals and in reviews state it is coming with the standard retail warranty when they ran the S/N on Seagate's website. Seagate Exos X16 14TB SATA 7200RPM Hard Drive @ $218.99 Unknown if this comes with the retail warranty, would immediately check upon receiving.

Appears to be data corruption from the drive with the bad cable. Did a disk check on it, and now my shares showed up after doing a tree rebuild. Why exactly do user shares fail to show up if one drive has corrupted data? The individual disk volume shares would show up, including the bad drive.

So I tried reinstalling unraid onto a new flash drive. Same issue. This is with a brand new fresh config, nothing was copied from the old install except my key. If I try to add a share of any kind, even if it is a different name than what I already have on my drives, i'll get a messaging saying "Share "share_name" was deleted." This is really frustrating.

Ok will give this a try.

I'm having an issue with my unraid as of last night. Cable came loose on one of my drives, so I rebooted and rebuilt the array. Now, all of my User Shares are missing. This isn't the standard adblocker blocking the webGUI, the shares do not show up in SMB. When I browse individual drives in my array, the share folders are still there, so I know the data and files are still present. I tried to add a new share with the same name as an existing share, the webgui gave me the message "Share [share Name] has been deleted." I've tried stopping and starting the array, rebooting, rebooting into safe mode, I removed my cache drive. I'm lost as to where to proceed.
