March 24, 201313 yr Hello, Running unraid 4.7 2 TB WD EARS parity drive 3 X 2 TB WD EARS data drives. WANT TO Add WD20EFRX will these red drives work with my setup? 1. Does the preclear script " preclear_disk.sh -A /dev/sda " work on the WD20EFRX drives so I don't have to add a jumper to the drive? 2. Anything else I need to do that is different from what I had to do to add my EARS drives? 3. Any other drives I should consider buying? Seems the red is the way to go now? Just wanted to say I am impressed with unraid. I built my unraid box 2 years ago. And its been running like a beast ever since. Only had to power it down once due to me moving, otherwise it just works. Which is great, however I rusty at messing with it so hopefully someone can give me some assistance. Thanks!!
