July 30Jul 30 Yello, I have an old refurbished HPE server as my nas, and a couple of weeks ago we had a blackout (and our backup power failed too x-x). It wouldn't start afterwards, and took a few forced PSU removals to properly start up. I think since then, I've had my array in "Device is disabled, contents emulated" and can't really find a place to start online with fixing it, as I can't see what drive even failed in the logs or how.Would love some guidance, thanks!tower-diagnostics-20260730-1507.zip
July 30Jul 30 Community Expert SMART looks good, but there are some ATA errors logged, suggesting a power/connection issue. Check/replace both cables for disk1, and if the emulated disk is still mounting and the contents look correct, you can rebuild on top:https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/using-unraid-to/manage-storage/array/replacing-disks-in-array/#re-enabling-a-disabled-disk-rebuilding-onto-itself

July 30Jul 30 Community Expert Disk is disabled but present; you can try rebuilding again, I would recommend at least swapping bays first, in case the issue returns, to see it follows the disk or the bay.
