cmple Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Accidentally used an EVGA sata power cable on a phanteks PSU for 3 hard drives. Unraid server wouldn't power on on multiple tries. Then I realized my mistake and swapped to a correct cable, now BIOS and unRaid can only see 1 of 3 drives. They are both data drives with another data drive and parity intact. I'm no disk expert so I have to ask, would it work if I have an expert clone the dead drive onto a new identical readable drive? Is there a way for unRaid to recognize that "new" drive as a replacement for the data drive with the exact same data? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Yes, by doing a new config. Quote Link to comment

Since two disks failed, I'm attempting to clone one then do a rebuild on another new drive to "replace" the second drive. Crossing my fingers that the cloning works. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 If you succeed post back and I'll post the complete instructions, cloned disk needs to be the same capacity of the previous one, and the new replacement same or larger size. Quote Link to comment
