October 22, 20214 yr Hi. I have four WD Purple 4TB drives in an external Yottabyte USB connected enclosure. I have an 8TB Barracuda with existing data I'd like to merge on to the WD drives when setup is complete. I have a Samsung NVME inside the computer that I am using as a cache. I would like to setup unRAID to house VM's and my Plex server, but when I try to finalize the setup, my disks flash millions of sector errors across all of them, which shouldn't make sense. I pulled these new drives from a security DVR that I never used, they have only a few hours of runtime. I'm not sure if this is an enclosure issue or if there's something else going on here. I attached the diagnostic file below, but I'm not sure if more is needed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers. tower-diagnostics-20211021-2235.zip
