April 28, 20251 yr Hey My new unraid NAS uses a gen 3 nvme and my old NAS used a gen2 nvme. I was using the nvme as a cache pool. So i need to use the gen3 nvme as the cache pool. I didnt backup the gen2 nvme. If i just install the new gen3 nvme as a cache pool will this cause any issues with unraid? Thanks Edited April 28, 20251 yr by adzz
April 28, 20251 yr Community Expert Not clear what the question is. PCIe gen is irrelevant to anything, unraid will take either... obviously if you're not transferring the data that was on the old drive to the new then anything that was on it is lost.
April 28, 20251 yr Author oh my new nas won't recognise my old nvme, i reckoned it was because of the gen difference KINGSTON_SM2280S3G2120G is my old nvme and AOOSTAR WTR PRO intel n150 is my new system So i assumed the hardware wasn't compatible ?
