  1. I only can have a max of 4 drives rn and Cant upgrade much
  2. Hello, I have one 1tb WD drive as paraity and another for data plus two segate 500G drives. Any suggestions as I have no money to upgrade? Some are old with 4-5 hour runtime and 2 are around 1 year. Thankyou
  3. Hmmmm. Good Idea. Is there a plugin that could do that for me or is there an easy way to automate this? Is there maybe a different server OS that would work better for me. Thankyou again!
  4. What If I add a 1tb drive in spot of the 500G WD - I dont really have the bugget to upgrade or get new disks. If I did that how safe would my data be? I have my server on a UPS and it is setup to avoid a power outage that may cause corruption. Thankyou for your help!
  5. Hello, I currently have 4 sata ports in my old system. All in use, I need to remove one of the data drives and replace it for a parity for backup. I believe the highlighted disk is blank because it shows no files on it. I want to change that out to a 1TB disk for parity. How do I procede with this? TIA! (There is two images) Edit - What if I just get a SATA card for more ports?
  6. Yes. There is two items listed - the UEFI usb drive for just the usb drive. I have tried both. I have sleected in boot mode. How do I reimage without loosing my data
  7. I tried both. Not working, I got it to work on another MOBO. Transferring data and then giving freenas a shot. Thanks for the help
  8. I have tried both I think. which one should I use?
  9. Yes It works fine in other PC. I can boot to usb windows installer on server but not unraid
  10. I tried another computer and it works. I am booting from that flash drive and it does the same thing. I can boot to a windows install USB disk and it is in a usb2 port. What else can I try. This is a very odd issue
  11. I select my boot device using f11. Is that what you mean? Sorry, I am not that experienced.
  12. Hello unraid community. I can not get my unraid machine to boot. I only get a flashing white line in the top left. (See Picture) I can boot other OS's and everything in the computer seems to be working fine. Any help is very much welcome. Thankyou! Image
  13. I am going to have one 1tb drive for parity. Just to make sure if one drive fails on the array all data on that drive will be rebuilt, correct?
  14. Ok. Thanks, everyone for your input. I really appreciate it. I am going to remove all parity drives and install a 1tb drive. I will move the parity drives to the main array. Thanks, everyone for your input! Let me know if I made a stupid mistake in what I just said I am going to do
  15. Ok. This is all very confusing to me. I just want to make sure that all data is safe and happy with the new parity. As long as it is I am going to continue with this new config. One more question. How does another parity drive help protect data more? Sorry for all the questions. I am not very familiar with this mode of backup/data protection.
  16. If I have a 1tb drive as parity and 1320gb as my main data not all of my data will be protected, correct?
  17. Here is my current unraid setup. I want to add a 1tb drive to my array. I was going to move one of my 500g parity drive to my main array and then add the 1tb drive to the parity slot I just switched out. Is this how I should do this or should I only have one parity drive? I WANT TO HAVE ALL MY DATA PROTECTED IN CASE OF A DRIVE FAIL. IF I SETUP MY ARRAY WILL ALL DATA BE PROTECTED?
  18. When I got on today it was working. I am not sure what I did. Thanks, everyone for your help.
