February 5, 201115 yr Never had this happen before. Just tried to add a new drive to my array - one of the new Hitachi drives. unRAID never gets started. With a monitor connected during the boot process, I see the new drive as one of the drives listed in the spin up group (1 out of the 5 listed), then it just freezes. Before I added this drive, 4 drives show up on the spin up group (out of a total of 10 drives). Pull the new drive out and everything starts up normally again. What do I need to do?

Sounds a lot like a power supply issue than anything else, or a defective drive locking up a channel. What exact make/model power supply are you using? Joe L.
February 5, 201115 yr Author OK, I disconnected the SATA cable from my cache drive, which I was not using anyways (was connected, but not part of the array). Now the array starts fine and I am preclearing the new drive now. Is there a reason I cannot start the array with the 11th drive? My system is a C2SEA motherboard with the AOC-SASLP-MV8 card.
February 5, 201115 yr It's a Corsair CMPSU-650TX. Well, its probably not the supply. That is a very nice supply with a single high amperage 12 volt rail.
February 7, 201115 yr Go to the BIOS for AOC-SASLP-MV8 and disable INT13. In this way any of the HDs attached to this card wont show in the boot order. A motherboard BIOS has only 10 "drives" to boot from. Once you add the 11th one of the older ones will be removed from the list and it happens to be your flash drive.

Thank you much. As an aside, the Hitachi 5K3000 seems to be working well so far. Cleared in less than 25 hours, good write speeds so far.
