Goldie01 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Hello, I apologize if this had been covered but I haven't found any conversation about this. I am currently using the onboard sata 4TB drives x4 +Parity +cach 6 drives in all. my question is can i upgrade to LSI controller card without losing data or do i have to start from scratch?

ChatNoir Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Hello, This should not be an issue as Unraid identifies disks by their S/N. Be sure that the card is in (or can be flashed to) IT mode. A list of known good controllers : If needed, how to flash in IT mode : Quote Link to comment
ChatNoir Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I knew I forgot one thing I wanted to say. It is generally better not to connect your SSDs to older LSI cards, so keep them on your MB SATA ports if possible. Quote Link to comment
Goldie01 Posted March 8, 2021 Author Share Posted March 8, 2021 Thanks so much for the response and info. Just got the card in, LSI 9211-8i, I will attempt flash......fingers crossed 😁 Quote Link to comment
