Daver1 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 (edited) Hi All, I have an old 6TB drive I recently installed into my Unraid server (I now know i should have probably chucked it away) This drive was only installed a week ago and has now failed.. I also made some changes to the hardware so it may have been a connection issue. Status on main page - Device is disabled, contents emulated. The HDD is likely empty - although it says 41.9gb used. I cant figure out how to check the emulated version. I think i should probably remove this disk all together? I dont have another one to replace it with and dont really need the extra space yet. Note: I already stopped the array once, removed the disk and re inserted it in a different slot. I have also started a read check... as i said, no idea...... Please can someone help me out, I am only learning here, next to no idea what im doing lol. MB006000GWWQT_WSE0Q626-20240209-0822.txt Edited February 9 by Daver1 Quote Link to comment
Daver1 Posted February 9 Author Share Posted February 9 I have followed Unraid guid to rebuild the drive on to itself (seems like the disk is ok for now) There has been some warnings: I want to check what is stored on this disk and potentially remove it once the rebuild is complete.

Solution JorgeB Posted February 9 Solution Share Posted February 9 Disk was already disabled at boot, so we can't see what happened, SMART looks OK but has very few attributes, is this a white label disk? You can replace/swap cables and rebuild the disk or if you prefer do a new config without and resync parity. Quote Link to comment
Daver1 Posted February 9 Author Share Posted February 9 The disk is not white lable - do you mean repaired? It was from a work server and was given to me. it is not a very high performing disk tho.. think ill junk it. Is it straight forward to remove a disk from service if there is not much data on the disk? As it stands I have reinstalled the dodgy 6TB disk - I wont be writing any new data to the server for now - I would like to figure out/understand how to see what is stored on this disk, if nothing then i will remove it from service. Probably use it as an external drive for large data transfer. I have just purchased a "new" 10TB and 6TB HDD - My friend is putting his media library on to them - i was thinking about deleting all my data (Movies/TV shows) and then transfering the new data on to my server. After that i will format the New 10 / 6 TB drives and add them to the array. I hadnt thought about it in to much detail but I assumed i could just delete all the Files from the Plex Folders - Job Done... Quote Link to comment

You just need to move any data there to another disk, then do a new config (Tools - New config) and re-sync parity. Quote Link to comment
Daver1 Posted February 9 Author Share Posted February 9 Thank you so much for patience and help with my questions. Unraid = best choice for server and community. 1 Quote Link to comment
