June 30, 201313 yr Hi, I'm just about done setting up a new unraid server using ver.4.7. I have about 80% of my media copied over. I have not installed a parity drive yet. I got a great deal on a Norco 4224, and some M1015's, and I want to move everything to the new case. I will be using the same motherboard, but not the on board sata ports any more. My question is as I never assigned a parity drive do I need to worry about drive location in the new case? I will be using SFF-8087 to SFF-8087 SAS cables from the M1015's to the backplanes. Anything else I need to be aware of? Thanks
June 30, 201313 yr It has been awhile since I've used 4.7. I know with 5.x it wouldn't be an issue. Even if you had a Parity drive, you would just need to know which was the parity drive. A good safety measure would be to take a screen shot of your drive assignments for the order. As far as physically which drive location, it shouldn't matter.
