July 1, 20197 yr 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.
July 1, 20197 yr 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.
July 1, 20197 yr Author Thanks for the info. But the statement In most cases.i don't like so i will take a back up of my data. Second question. When i move my HDs I am guesting that i when i move them over that i keep them in the same positions, within the raid

Is that the question you were asking?
July 1, 20197 yr 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
