banterer Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 I have several mypassport WD disks which I had planned to use in unraid. Sadly I've found they are native USB3. Is there such a thing as a caddy that takes a USB3 drive, that you can connect a SATA cable to? Trying to find something with Google is just a nightmare as every suggestion is the other way around!

JonathanM Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Not that I'm aware of. Your best bet if you must use USB mass storage with Unraid is to use them as single device pools, so the random disconnects will hopefully not cause data loss. USB devices in the parity protected array are a huge headache. Quote Link to comment
banterer Posted April 25, 2022 Author Share Posted April 25, 2022 Ok, thanks. What about the physical connectivity - any way of using them in a hotswap bay? Quote Link to comment
