October 5, 20241 yr I has a thread running about constant UNraid crashes, pretty sure it was the memory or the slots themselves but decided i wanted to have nvme/.M2 drives as the cache, the reason being i run nextcloud and wanted to keep it on the cache to stop the drive being spun up when someone accessed files on it. So i now have a new board/CPU/RAM and two nvme drives (i think) i will be taking screen dumps of drive allocations and other settings made just in case and also a back up of the flash, i have done this before and was just a matter of transferring and turning on but since then i added RAID cards to run the drives so i could have a proper server case, can i also just transfer them in with everything else and switch on ? im also thinking let it start up then add in the nvme drives and get them going, is it then just a matter of making them cache drives and transferring the data from the existing cache ?
October 5, 20241 yr Community Expert Changing boards with NVMe drives is not a problem, you also mentioned RAID controllers, those can be.

October 5, 20241 yr Community Expert True HBAs in IT mode are not a problem, only RAID controllers can be.
