May 5, 20233 yr Hi, I recently upgraded from my old xeon 2470v2 server to a ryzen 7 3700x computer (mainly for power savings). I followed a post on the forum, and transferred the drives and the flash drive to the new pc. I noticed my drives showed up as missing. The two drives are still there, but under different names. I assume this has something to do with the raid controller I had set to JBOD in the hp server that isn't present in my new build (I'm just using motherboard ports now). The solution I saw was to do a new config, and to me it seems pretty obvious which drive was which, but I wanted to make sure before I (potentially) nuke all my data. Thanks

That will work if the names are the only changes, some RAID controllers also use a non standard partition, and in that case you will have issues, i.e., the disks won't mount with an invalid partition error, but existing data won't be deleted.

Luckily, the names were the only changes. Everything works now, thanks!
