December 12, 20241 yr So I had a parity drive fail. I only had one parity and it took a crap on me so I pulled it out and replaced it with a new drive that is 2tb bigger. It said if I start up the array it will start a resync rebuild, so I clicked start. Shortly after this drive also got an error and has a red x next to it not allowing it to rebuild. Am I missing something? Do I do something besides just letting it rebuild? It will not rebuild now due to it being disabled.
December 12, 20241 yr many here will ask for diags... but if unraid rejected the HDD, I would return it...
December 12, 20241 yr Author I am thinking what is happening is the actual sata cable went to garbage. The old disk and new disk both have errors as soon as I put it in PC. I am thinking a bad cable so I am replacing the cable and seeing what happens. I have had cables go bad in the past or get loose and cause issues. So fingers crossed!
December 14, 20241 yr Author So I took out the drive that was supposedly bad and replaced it with a new drive and it get the same Red X. I then replaced the sata cable and still no luck. I doubt the new drive is also bad so I think this is somehow software related and not hardware related. If I attempt to preclear the new disk I also get an error. Any ideas?

December 14, 20241 yr Community Expert Try connecting the disk to a different controller, like the onboard SATA, and retry.
