chris_netsmart Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I am looking for some advice on how, or if this is posible. 6 months ago i purchase the wrong Motherboard and CPU. Were i just discovered that i can't do half the things i want it to do. So i am back out looking for new hardware. So my question is. Can i move my current hard drives from my Unraid workstation and place them into my new Unraid sever and power up. Or is there something else i need to do. Link to comment
Squid Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 If you move all the drives, then there should be zero problems. unRaid should fire up and adjust itself accordingly without any problems in most cases. Link to comment

Is that the question you were asking? Link to comment
Squid Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 To elaborate my "most cases", as@itimpi alluded to drives are tracked by serial number. There are cases (most notably hardware raid cards) that do not present the drive's serial numbers the same as the manufacturer it is this case where you will have problemsSent from my NSA monitored device Link to comment
