For various complicated reasons, I pulled my older server apart (Intel i7 2600 based with 4HDDs and a 512gb SSD cache) and reformatted the cache SSD for another project. The HDDs still have the previous Unraid array data.

 

I now want to recreate my server but with an updated processor, motherboard and graphics card (Ryzen 5 3600, MSI Tomahawk 450, Radeon R7 250). I'm assuming I need to setup a new unraid setup but what is the easiest way to recreate the previous array so I can access the drives?

 

Many thanks

You just re-assign them to the correct positions, if all disks are present and parity was valid you can check "parity is already valid" before array start to avoid the parity sync (note: parity2 requires all devices present and in the same positions as they were originally, parity1 just requires all devices)
