September 11, 20214 yr Hi everyone. I have been a Unraid user for a while not although still not 100% with how things work. I have recently bought a USB 3 Add in card as I am running with a combination of Sata and USB drives. I believe the add in card is being detected but nothing is showing in unassaigned drives. I have booted of a Live Flash drive into Zorin OS and this detectes the drive plugged into the controler without issues. This is the card i have bought https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08LZDQ79D/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 which i believe is [1106:3483] 05:00.0 USB controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VL805/806 xHCI USB 3.0 Controller (rev 01) Bus 005 Device 001 Port 5-0 ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 005 Device 002 Port 5-1 ID 2109:3431 VIA Labs, Inc. Hub Bus 006 Device 001 Port 6-0 ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub When i refresh Unassigned drives this shows in the logs (Zorin OS is the flash drive) Any Help much appreciated. Arron

September 12, 20214 yr Author Is there anyway to tell what is a VIA chipset or not? I have checked through the Amazon listing and nothing was showing. Im concerned that it may happen again with the next one.
September 13, 20214 yr Community Expert Search the forum, I never used one but there are some models mentioned where they mention the chipset.
