The obvious thing to go wrong is removing the incorrect drive, but you indicated that you have checked the serial number so that this is not the cause.
October 18, 20169 yr Why not provide your diagnostics ... see Need help? Read me first! Unassigned Devices should only show what's currently installed.

October 22, 20169 yr unRAID sees that drive installed in the server. Check your drives and drive bay again. Does the drive bay you are using think the device is still installed? Is the drive mounted in different drive bay?

October 22, 20169 yr Community Expert You're running unRAID on VMware, I'd guess it's got something to do with that, maybe disk is still being referenced by it.
January 8, 20242 yr Community Expert I recently replaced a drive in my array and have the same issue. The s/n of the drive that is sitting on my desk is what matches that in unassigned devices. I've rebooted and it is still there. Did OP ever get this resolved?
