October 25, 20169 yr Author Got most of the parts in on Saturday. Went with 3x4tb reds. Got the system up and running. Had to order more cables and still need to work on wiring before closing everything up. New drives are in one of the internal Cooler Master Trooper's 4x3 cages, Norco cage will be for adding in the smaller drives from my old system since they will be replaced first. Might add another hot swap cage in the near future. Was into the second of three pre-clears last night when the power cut out for a few seconds, which never happens... Put the system on a UPS and started another 2 pre-clear cycle. I was planning on bringing up the array with 2x4tb for data, copy data from old 4tb, set 3rd new 4tb as parity, and build. This would protect the data so I could then test and clear the old 4tb and add it as a data drive. Then continue with all the other, smaller drives. If this doesn't make sense please let me know. One thing I did notice is in the info screen IOMMU is showing as Disabled. I thought I had set Intel Virtualization to enabled in advanced settings and VT-d as well as both sub options to enabled under system agent configuration but I'll have to wait for the drives to finish before verifying.

Hmm you've switched on the right bits - maybe the power cut reset?
October 31, 20169 yr Author Quick update. Specs in sig, array is running with data drives only and still moving media files over the network and between drives to free some up in order to move them to the unRAID. Setting up Dockers to replace functionality of old Ubuntu machine. http://imgur.com/a/yEauB
October 31, 20169 yr looks good - glad it's all going well so far. I finally added my parity drive last night, so all my parts are 'in' at last. Will post some pics after dusting down.
