October 5, 20178 yr Its my lucky day.. 3 of my drives have failed at t he same time... Not seen by unraid / other pc's i've tried 1 2tb parity drive and 2x 1tb disks I have 1 TB drive and a 500gb drive left, and my cache drive functioning. How do I go about recovering from my functioning drives?

How do I go about recovering from my functioning drives?Going to leave the actual problem to other people, but before you start plugin drives back in check very carefully for problems in the backplane if you have one or singed power connectors etc. It would be very rare for 3 drives to simultaneously drop dead without a root cause that if left unfixed may affect any replacements or other drives still installed

Tools -> New config Assign remaining data and cache drives, leave parity empty, but like Squid mentioned it's not likely for 3 disks to fail at the same time without a reason.
October 5, 20178 yr Author it happened after I moved the tower, the 2 1tb drives were 7+ year old WD green drives.. im amazed they lasted this long.. but the parity drive was bought last year Seagate NAS drive.. I was just about to put a second parity drive in ..

This is very rare and if it did all happen at the same time something caused it.

Thanks! I was looking for a guide for this but didn't immediately find one..
October 6, 20178 yr Author pwev.. the 2 working drives were the ones with some of my irreplaceable data I didn't backup .. The 2 others were just my torrents with latest ones still on cache drive .. so .. 3 drive failure (out of 5)... 0 data loss.... wow.. Edited October 6, 20178 yr by Brewslee
