May 6, 20179 yr I have a 3tb and 2 1tb hard drives. Since I dont have another 3TB drive, all these drives are running independently. I have no drives in parity. This server is an offsite server, so there are already backups else where. Anyways, UnRaid is not seeing my 2 1tb drives. The hardware is making them spin. I have felt them vibrate. They are working but not showing in UnRaid. Please help. Thanks, Chase B scoobydoo-diagnostics-20170506-0817.zip
May 6, 20179 yr Community Expert Let me ask some (perhaps what may seem) stupid questions. Where are they not showing up? On the Main page and Dashboard page of the GUI? Or is in Windows explorer (or another file browser) on a client computer? What happens if you stop the array? Are they showing up as unassigned drives?

They are not found anywhere.
May 6, 20179 yr Community Expert Probably won't fix your problem but change controller to AHCI, don't use IDE.

UnRaid keeps saying things are running in 1.5Gbs sata speeds. i changed it in the bios to 3.0Gbs but UnRaid sees 1.5. Just want to make sure all is good. scoobydoo-diagnostics-20170506-0842.zip

Thanks guys.

May 6, 20179 yr Author Awesome. Glad to know. What about SSDs. I am going to put put one in at some point. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro If the SSD also gets limited to 1.5Gbs then you're seriously limiting its transfer rate. Even my ancient X25-M can hit 280MB/s, and new drives average around 580MB/s+

May 6, 20179 yr Community Expert Due to 8b/10b encoding Sata1 = 1.5gbps = 150MB/s theoretical max, of those about 135Mb/s is the max usable speed, so it can limit fairly recent HDDs.
