January 16, 20197 yr Community Expert Did you test any of your disks? Some of them seem pretty old. And some of them should be giving you SMART warnings on the Dashboard page as well as Notifications if you have setup Notifications. Disk3 isn't reporting SMART so that is an issue itself.
January 16, 20197 yr Community Expert Disk2 looks past it's prime, possibly has some slow sectors, disk speed test might show something.
January 16, 20197 yr Author No I haven't run any tests myself recently. These dashboard warnings only started showing up recently, the server had a couple of abrupt poweroffs in the last 2 days. What's the recommended way to keep my data intact since parity is no longer valid? I have spare PCs. Should I replace Disk 2, build a new array (with the rest of the disks) and move the data from disk2 back in manually?
January 16, 20197 yr Community Expert First would be good to confirm if it's a disk problem, and which disk it is, run the disk speed test, it's easy and it might show the culprit.
January 16, 20197 yr Author I'm running it, and it's taking a long while for sdb. Seeing the disk speeds - it's probably the culprit.

January 16, 20197 yr Author Since Unraid no longer has a valid parity device, what would be the appropriate way to replace this hard drive?
January 16, 20197 yr Community Expert Either wait for the parity sync to finish and replace the disk or try coping the data to another disk, but it's likely going to take a while, and hopefully the disk won't fail before that.
January 17, 20197 yr Author This topic can be closed and marked as solved. The issue was with the hard drive. 3 drives suddenly started to give SMART errors. One is super slow (1mbps) even in another PC, one I can't fix with seatools, and the other one I'm running seatools long fix to see if I can still use it. Never buying Seagate again. All 3 drives were from different batches, from Seagate (the parity as well).
