alt Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Hello, Does Unraid 6.0b15 allow you to move disks (including parity) to different Sata ports on the motherboard or a PCIe card? If I move say the parity disk from sata 6port on the motherboard to Sata1 port on a PCIe card while powered down, when I reboot the array will it come back online to Normal Status? Will any configuration have to be changed in the WebGui? Thanks, Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 All versions since v5 have kept track of disk assignments using the drive serial numbers. so yes you can move them and it will work fine. 1 Quote Link to comment
alt Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 Great to know! New to Unraid installed 6.0b15 last week. Filled up 3 4TB drives Copied data from a Synology. Was waiting to assign my parity drive as I'm planning on running the party drive on SD-PEX50055, but I wont have it till next week. All go ahead and assign the parity drive now attached to the motherboard sataII and let the parity sink. Then next week when I install the Syba Card I'll move the parity drive over to the sataIII ports on the add-on card. Quote Link to comment

You can even switch data disk positions (if you care about where files are on each disk) and parity won't have to be rebuild. Ps: i think it would be more fun to have party drives instead Quote Link to comment
