January 11, 20197 yr Hello all, First I want to say, Updating to 6.6.x has been a bear. I had a VM Problem after upgrading that took down my entire system and once I got it stable I discovered that my poor computer that I thought would last me 10 years I out grew after 4.5 years so I ordered an upgrade. Now to the question. How do you recommend I upgrade the hardware nicely? I plan on just swapping the stuff over and plugging in the unRAID USB. Should I make preparations on the unRAID system before I do this or should I be OK just swapping everything over? Just trying to make sure this goes smoothly without data loss and confusing other stuff. My Current System: *The base Computer: ASRock Z97 Extreme6 with an i7-4790K 32gig Ram LSI 9207-8i Controller The New System: 4U 24 Bay X9DRI-LN4F+ Rev 1.20 IPASS Server 2x E5-2690 V2 3Ghz 10 Core 64GB RAM (4x 16GB PC3-10600R) 3x LSI 9210-8i HBA Controllers 24x 3.5" Caddies Dual PS *The Stuff I'm switching Over: 1x32GB unRAID USB Flash Drive 8x4TB Data Drives 2x4TB Parity Drives 1x1TB Samsung 860Pro SSD Cache Drive Asus ROG 960GTX OC GPU Pass threw card 1x Logitech USB for VM Keyboard and Mouse 1x No name USB for Console Keyboard and Mouse Thank you for your time and help in advance. Thinking I should ask before I run in to a problem with such a hardware change.

I should be able to see if all the drives assigned right before I start the array. Now that I think about it, I might set all my Dockers and VMs to not auto start also.

Now that I think about it, I might set all my Dockers and VMs to not sure start also. Yes, VM's especially should not be set to auto start. Any VM hardware passthrough will have to be redone.
