I have 2 chassis and a lot of spare external hba and internal hba. so I have tried the disks across 2 chassis with the same problems on the same disks. more disks show up on my spare chassis so it has lead me to believe it is a backplane problem with the norco 4024 chassis.

I’m gonna test the drives one last time on a driver reader that I bought from Amazon. From there I will ask you how to do the new config. I want to say I appreciate everything and everyone in this forum. It’s really great how you guys help us newbs

September 13, 20214 yr Community Expert Tools -> New config Then just re-assign the remaining drives, parity will need to be synced.

Since one of my parity drives is 'missing/dead' Also I am still having the original problem of the Red X on drive 1 and 9, Both are present before i start the array. Can these also be repaired? or will they be emulated from the one pairty?
