September 11, 20232 yr My parity drive disappeared recently and need help trouble shooting... - Parity drive is connected to mother board via PCIE - I've tried connecting the drive to one of my other SATA slots and it can be discovered that way - I don't have enough SATA slots to work around without my PCIE Sata card - I replaced the PCIE sata card thinking that may be the issue - New PCIE SATA card shows up in BIOS, but parity still wont show up on UNRAID What else should I be doing to troubleshoot, I have attached my diagnositics Thank you garthplex-diagnostics-20230910-2138.zip
September 11, 20232 yr Community Expert Is the nvme a new addition? Sometimes it takes over a SATA slot
September 12, 20232 yr Author Yes the NVME is a somewhat new addition. When I added it a few months ago it wouldn't consistently be detected to mount and so I just ignored it for a while. Now it consistently shows up to mount so I could see that being the issue. What would my best next step be? Just remove the NVME or can I tell my system not to let it take over a SATA slot?
September 20, 20232 yr Author Removed the NVME and still unable to get the Parity to show up. Any other ideas?
September 24, 20232 yr Author ended up going into my bios and it doesn't seem to be detecting the pcie card. I've also tried a new card and it wont detect that either. I've tried both PCIE cards in all slots and its not detecting. Could my mobo be toast?
September 24, 20232 yr Author ...Maybe getting ahead of myself, but I really dont want to go much longer without a parity drive. Assuming I cant get the PCIE SATA expansion to show up, can I replace two of my harddrives with one bigger one? Or is that too sketchy without parity? I have the following.. 12TB, 8TB, 8TB, 8TB, 4TB I would like to replace and 8 and 4 TB with one 12TB. And that will allow enough sata ports to have my parity drive again. But not sure how I would do this without any more SATA room. Can I do this with the new 12TB connected via USB?
