(SOLVED) unRAID Server Pro v: 5.0.5 SATA controller Failure

[LittleTomTit]

Hi, I was hoping someone would help me.

My Unraid Server v:5.0.5 recently suffered a power cut which at first seemed to fry my Supermicro MV8 SATA Controller, but since removing and cleaning up the controller (re-attaching a heatsink which had fallen off) it now appears to be working. and I now have the array back up and running.

This machine has been running fine with 14 data drives and one parity drive since 2012 so the components are getting old.

I have purchased a new Controller, does anyone know If I can simply swap the controllers or is it much more complicated?

 

I also would like to upgrade to V.6 when I know all is OK.

 

Any advice welcome.

 

regards

David

You can, as long as it's a regular HBA, no RAID.
