September 12, 20178 yr I have been running a supermicro 5028D-TN4T with 4 WD red 8tb drives. https://www.supermicro.com/products/system/midtower/5028/sys-5028d-tn4t.cfm and everything has been running perfect except my hard drives are showing hot a lot. So I have decided to open things up a little and give me the ability to upgrade in the future with ordering a larger enclosure "RSV-L4000" hopefully with better cooling. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0056OUTBK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I have already installed 2 of the "Hot-swap SATAIII/SAS Hard Disk Drive Cages" https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DGZ42SM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 in the case and went smooth enough. Now onto my question, this was my first Unraid setup and only been running it like a month. Any tips on problems to avoid during all this, do I need to make sure all the hard drives stay hooked to the same sata slots in the motherboard? just the parity drive? Will not using the backplate in the supermirco setup throw up any problems? Gonna try and tackle it this weekend and already have wife aggro so trying to get a smooth first pass transfer lol. Thanks for any help.
