TechRay Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I start the hard drive array and notice HD errors, I stopped it to replace hard drive. I put in a new hard drive and its keeping the old configuration. Could I reset everything to start from the beginning? Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Tools, New config. If that's not what you are asking, you need to give us more info. "Reset everything" could mean different things. Quote Link to comment
TechRay Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 doing a new install it was taking 8 hrs to do the Array, I notice i was getting a lot of errors, I stopped the array process (it didn't finish). now im trying to replace the hard drive but the old configuration is still there and it is saying disk missing. I thought if I could clear the whole install and start again that would work. I don't know how to do that.. Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Why do you think you need to replace a hard drive? Connection problems are far more common than bad disks. 1 hour ago, jonathanm said: give us more info A simple way to give us a lot of info is by posting diagnostics. If possible before rebooting and preferably with the array started Go to Tools - Diagnostics and attach the complete Diagnostics ZIP file to your NEXT post in this thread. Quote Link to comment

trurl Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Is there any data on the server you want to preserve? SMART for the 3 attached hard drives looks OK. Is one of those the disk you wanted to remove, or is it no longer attached? Quote Link to comment
TechRay Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 The 3TB was giving a lot of errors, I removed and add a 1TB. I guess the 3TB wasn't going to work. I trying to understand how this works before I buy 4TB hard drives. Getting the array started is taking long. 6-8 hrs. I want to getting a NAS with remote Access. This is an 4 year old i5 with 16gb RAM, Is this ok? Quote Link to comment
TechRay Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 No Data on Drives Quote Link to comment

I think there is a very good chance there is nothing wrong with it. Install that 3TB and leave the others installed then post new diagnostics. Doesn't matter how or whether you assign them, I just want to take a look at the SMART for that 3TB disk Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I see you have a RAID controller. Make sure it isn't using any RAID mode. Unraid IS NOT RAID, and using hardware RAID controller in any RAID mode can cause problems. Quote Link to comment
TechRay Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 The 3TB still in the PC connected but I'm not seeing it now. Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Check connections, power and SATA, both ends, including splitters. And make sure your controller isn't using RAID. Quote Link to comment
TechRay Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 im not using any RAID to my knowledge unless its in the BIOS Quote Link to comment
