Hello. I've looked around and only found articles talking about errors during the checksum but I Have a different issue. I was running unraid on a spare 32GB drive I had with a trial version. Fell in love with the OS and decided to get a smaller profile USB drive to use for the registered version. I bought an unraid OS Plus key and started the process to switch out the boot drives. I had to do the manual method since the creator tool would not work with my Sandisk 32GB Ultra Fit USB. The backup/restore went smoothly but the only issue is the amount of time it takes for the new drive to boot. At first I thought it was just going to take that long on the first time booting but it's doing it every time. It hangs the longest on "Verifying bzfirmware checksum". It does eventually get past it and boots up fine but with the trial version on the original drive it took maybe 1 minute to restart. Now it takes at least 5-10 minutes. Any thoughts?

Check that the USB port is using 2.0, not a slower speed, or try a different port.

Thank you so much. I should've thought of that because I did change the port. It's booting up like normal now. Thank you again!
