Switching drive enclosure - best practices?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I currently use a HP MSA60 that a friend let me borrow.  I finally purchases my own enclosure, a Dell MD1000.  If I move my drives to the new enclosure, should Unraid still see the drive identifiers the same and spin up the array just fine?  Or is there anything I need to be aware of.  FWIW, the array contains both "internal" drives from my Dell R710 AND the drives in the enclosure.

 

I don't easily have a way to back up the 24TB of data in the array, although the vast majority of the data lives on the internal drives, as I just added the MSA in the last month.  Should I try moving the data off the drives in the enclosure first, just in case?  

 

Thanks in advance for any pointers
