fakokay Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 hi all, Building 2 new nas (Dell PowerShot R420), i've set the raid controller to have 4 VD so unraid can manage the disks by himself. Until now everything is working great. My only problem is the identification disks (see below). normally that's the serial number of the disk itself that is written there. I know i can rename the identification but unraid seems to not know the serial number of each disk,,, And in my raid controller i labelled each one with the serial number of the disk already, and i can't see either the identification number shown in unraid in my raid controller. Maybe i missed something, your help could be very usefull - Thank in advance ! Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 That’s a limitation of the RAID controller you are using. Quote Link to comment

JorgeB Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Best bet would be getting a true HBA, like an LSI, besides the issue you're having now you will also run into issues in the future if for example you need to replace that controller with a different model. Quote Link to comment
