upgrading to new tower/hardware

Alright guys, so I am going to be upgrading some hardware soon and here is some questions I was thinking about.

 

When i move my HD's over to new case, is order of drives important? They are in a 2U server blade with a raid card flashed to IT mode. Will unRaid rebuld the data? Can unRaid identify the HD's by serial? What I wanted to do if it can is mark them by serial as I take them out, so I can put them in that order so to speak when I transfer them into new case. Raid card will be be transferred as well.

 

Things that are going to be new.

CPU

MOBO

Case

PSU

SAS expander

 

Things I am taking from old server

MEM

Raid card (flashed to IT mode)

HD's (12)

USB flash drive (although I bought a new one to use in place of the older one)

 

And any other tips and pointers anyone might have if they have done similar/upgrades/lateral moves.. Thanks

 

I can get links to parts if need be.

One more thing.  Stop any Dockers or VM's from Auto-starting before you do your last shutdown.  That will allow you to start them up again with the new hardware under a more controlled condition.
