December 19, 200817 yr Howdy. I'm going to be changing computer cases, and moving from a non-hot swapped case to a hot swap case. I have 12 drives + parity + cache, so 14 drives total. I'm using the onboard SATA ports as well as the TX4s for my hard drives. When I move the drives from one system to another, do I have to keep the plugged into the same ports on the motherboard/controller? Or do I just need to be sure the cache and parity drive are in the same location, and the rest can be swapped around? I only ask because my current setup is sort of a clustered up mess, and it might be a pain in the butt to remember what went where Thanks!

You have to make sure the parity and cache drives are assigned to the same "logical" slots on the "devices" page in the management interface. Other than that, the unRAID server will be able to handle the move. Joe L.
December 20, 200817 yr Just do a print screen of your "devices" page in the unRAID management screen. When you rebuild the system, assign each drive to the same slot in the devices page. This will work even if you change mobos, and go from on-board ports to ports on an expansion card.
