jjdemello123 Posted February 8, 2019 Author Share Posted February 8, 2019 Also when I reboot the computer everything goes back to normal (no errors) but my parity drive still says faulty even though it’s a brand new WD red drive Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Never use the Marvell controller, the first 4 white ports, they are known for constantly dropping disks on those boards. 1 Quote Link to comment
jjdemello123 Posted February 8, 2019 Author Share Posted February 8, 2019 Okay that’s great to know. Thank you. When I get home later tonight I will remove them from these ports and put them in the other 3 open data ports. I only have 3 more available ports. I hope I can manage because I have 4 un cooperative drives Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment

JorgeB Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Bet it will, unless there are other issues. Quote Link to comment
