July 24, 20205 yr So I am in the process of setting up a new unraid box, and moving data off an old ESXi VM with Win2016 NTFS Mounts I am trying to repurpose some of the hardware from the ESXi host. I ended up getting 2 WDC_WD100EFAX which my plan was to make them parity drives, that was right before the all my WDC_WD60EFRX started to throw sector errors. Because this new setup will have more than 6 drives I wanted to know if from power users what you would recommend for a Storage Controller card to add to the system. The LSI Broadcom SAS 9300-8i and LSI Logic SAS 9207-8i come up a lot and other then being a later version not 100% sure what the difference is. On top of that I am looking at getting a replacement for the Samsung SSD 850 EVO 1TB I was planning to use as its gone to crap. TL;DR Recommendation for 1x Storage Controller Card and cables 1x replacement for Samsung SSD 850 EVO 1TB Existing Hardware ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. Z97-PRO(Wi-Fi ac) Version Rev 1.xx Intel® Core™ i7-4790K CPU @ 4.00GHz 32 GiB DDR3 (max. installable capacity 32 GiB) Fractal Design Define R6 Case, so I have lots of room WDC_WD100EFAX 10TB New WDC_WD100EFAX 10TB New WDC_WD60EFRX 6TB OK but 4 yrs old WDC_WD60EFRX 6TB OK but 4 yrs old WDC_WD60EFRX 6TB Questionable 5 yrs old with (Current pending sector 1) WDC_WD60EFRX 6TB Questionable 5 yrs old with (Current pending sector 1) WDC_WD60EFRX 6TB Very Very Bad Now Samsung SSD 850 EVO 1TB Very Very Bad Now Thank you.
