August 4, 20241 yr Looking for some help with missing array drives. I upgraded my machine and the new motherboard has 2 SlimSAS (PCIe Gen4 x4 / 4 SATA3) connectors that are connected to my drives. I can see all my array drives in the bios but in unRaid the OS says they are missing. What am I missing? My previous server used an LSI HBA card to run the array. Is there a setting somewhere that I need to flip to get unRaid to see the drives again? Really hope I don't have to continue running the LSI card as the SlimSAS was one of the reasons I purchased this board. Any help is greatly appreciated.

August 4, 20241 yr Author I had a feeling that might be it. I am passing through a NVME drive to my VM for that raw performance. But it doesn't look like I am going to get the best of both worlds. @JorgeB thank you for your response! Giving it a try now.
August 4, 20241 yr Author So it wasn't the passed through NVME. It is in the same group with the TOSLINK I was passing for my VM. What to do for sound now. Any suggestions?
August 4, 20241 yr Motherboard groupings are controlled by the chipset. There are some options you can try to break up the groups, but they don't always work and can produce instability in rare cases. Play around with the various PCIe ACS override: options in the vm manager settings. If you find a setting that seems to work, read up on it to check for signs that it's causing other issues before you run that way long term. If you can't get it working with those options, a different motherboard may be the only solution.
