New controller and unraid sees all drives with different serial numbers, can't start array.

Beeping a brick right now!

 

Ok, server hardware died so I ordered all new hardware including 3ware 9650se controller. Before I connected drives, I booted and updated 3ware controller to newest firmware and bios (support for 4tb drives). Put controller in jdbo mode. Controller bios now sees a single new drive correctly.

 

Powered down and added all 8 drives. Booted and controller found all drives as jdbo. Booted in unraid and all drives connected to the controller are missing but unraid sees the drives. If you look closely, you can see the serial info for the drives are wrong. (see screenshots before and after). Two working drives, are connected to only 2 onboard SATA ports.

 

Not sure what to do and scared to try something. Need urgent help.

Attaching pic of controller settings. I've tried the staggered method as ata-6 and sta00b

That's one of the reasons that's not a recommended controller, you can do a new config reassign all disks and trust parity.
