February 26, 201412 yr Hi all, hoping for a little help, i have just completed my first unraid build and everything appears to be in working order, however i have a 64GB SSD that i am using as a cache drive that is showing in unmenu --> mymain as HPA? as attached. Could someone, please explain what HPA? is and if it is likely to cause me any problems and if so how to rectify? any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks!
February 26, 201412 yr HPA is a portion of the disk used to backup the BIOS on some Gigabyte motherboards. If you don't have one and the cache disk has never been in a computer that had one then this is probably a false alarm. Search the wiki and forum. Lots of info on this.
February 26, 201412 yr Author i dont have a gigabyte motherboard, using an Asus F1A75-M PRO FM1, and this SSD and MOBO previously was running ubuntu... any concerns here? thanks!
February 26, 201412 yr It looks like a false alarm due to the small and possibly non-standard capacity of the SSD. Even if it has HPA you can safely ignore it.
February 26, 201412 yr my 4TB parity says the same thing in unmenu - that hd went straight into the machine as a parity drive and never installed in anything else - its a SuperMicro MB also Myk
