Toothpaste Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Sorry if this has been answered before the search feature in the forum is coming up 404'd for me. I currently have an Intel Nuc running as my server with WD Easystore's plugged in via usb for my "array." In the next few weeks I am building an actual server and am hoping I can shuck these drives and pop them in no problem. Thats the dream but I assume that there will be problems due to the USB controller. Has anyone done this before? I could move all the data onto an extra WD easystore I have but would have to plan that out ahead of time for a faster build. Cheers Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Most likely it won't work, due to different size or invalid partition error, possibly even no data since some WD enclosures encrypt it, but you can still try. Quote Link to comment
Kosti Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Hi Sorry to hijack but I'm sort of doing the same trying to preclear drives WD easystore in their case before I open them up and install in my current new build HERE My 12TB got to 95% and then I lost power to the server for an unknown reason, (its on UPS) when I tried to turn it back on it blew the Delta 400W PSU hence why i removed it all and built it back into another case Preclear states there is a unfinished preclear session on the 12TB, but when I try to resume it, it fails! I do not want to redue the whole process and was hoping to continue but seems that is not possible. so I just want to be able to write all zeros and get the signature so unraid will be happy with the drive, but as I am not running docker and just using the GUI preclear, so its not clear which option PEACE Kosti Quote Link to comment

Kosti Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Thanks JB, will do, although I have no preclear logs since the server rebooted and then PSU blew up? Quote Link to comment
