December 21, 20223 yr I recently bought some new larger drives to upgrade my array. I've precleared all of the drives successfully. The first drive was successfully configured as the parity drive without issues. However, I've attempted to replace other drives (3 total times) and the drive disappears when it's selected. I've tried to replace a few different drives and it's the same issue every time. I was able to grab some diagnostics before I shutdown the machine and put the original drives back in. Does anyone have any pointers/suggestions? tower-diagnostics-20221218-2041.zip

December 27, 20223 yr Author Thanks @JorgeB! I tried another cable swap, and it came to the same result. Kind of wild that 3/4 of the new drives did this same thing.
