May 5, 20233 yr Hello, one of my drives “failed” recently and I tried to replace it. I swapped the failed 4TB drive out with a 6TB and during the rebuild the 6TB failed. I think my SATA controller is failing (I just bought one from the forum of approved PCIe sata controllers). I tried to put the 4TB back in and swapped the ports and it recognized it, but wouldn’t let me enable it because it’s lower than the 6TB now. I’m stuck now where the 6 TB keeps failing the rebuild and I can’t get the 4 TB to replace it. Is there any way I can force the 4 TB back into that spot? Any suggestions on how to move forward? apollo-diagnostics-20230504-2135.zip Edited May 5, 20233 yr by JoshHolme
May 5, 20233 yr Disk dropped offline so there's no SMART, but this is usually a power/connection issue, if you want to try the old disk first make sure it's mounting with UD and contents look good, also note that any new data written to that disk after is was replaced will be missing, then check or post SMART for the old disk, and if everything looks good you can do a new config and re-sync parity with it
