I am a new user to Unraid and I am currently setting up a new server The spec are as follows.
Server: IBM x3550 M3
Controllers: ServeRaid (MegaRaid) and eSATA card startech pexesat322i
Enclosure: OWC Mercury rack pro OWCMRP1F8U3EP config as JBOD
Storage: 4 onboard SAS drives connected to onboard raid in raid 0 500gb used as cache drive.
2 x 3tb – WD red WD30EFRX
1 x 1tb – WD green WD10EARS
1 x 500gb – WD blue WD5000AAKS
The issue that I am having is that non of the SMART data is available for the 4 drives in the enclosure. I am thinking that it is an issue with the enclosure or the eSATA card. I connected and identical WD blue drive in a USB dock to the server and the SMART data was immediately available.
The smart data doesn't show for the SAS drives but I am able to get it through smartctl and I believe that this is normal for SAS drives.
I would like to ask for some help to see if I can get the SMART data to show for the 4 drives in the enclosure. I can provide the output of smartctl for the drives if needed.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
