July 8, 20178 yr Hello all, I am rebuilding, cleaning, and upgrading my server a bit. I have not been able to find specifically an answer tot his question: While I rebuild this system, do I need to keep the hard drives plugged into the same SATA ports? If I have the parity plugged into SATAII 0, and I rebuild it plugged into SATAII 2 slot, will it effect the array? I was not sure if it keeps track of the HDDs based on a serial number or the SATA port assignment in the array. Just to list it, this is what I am doing: Clean unit, replace CPU coolers, add 2 fans, 5.25" Fan controller, add 2x 6TB red drives, add 32GB memory, redo wiring management. Thanks in advance for you assistance! This venture into unRAID has been fantastic! Jiry Edited July 8, 20178 yr by Jiryama
July 8, 20178 yr No need to worry about the port assignments -- UnRAID tracks the drives by serial #'s, so as long as they're all available (i.e. plugged in to a SATA port) then the array will boot just fine.
