Michael_P Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Or add SATA power connectors to the standard 4 pin line that came with your PSU, similar to this https://www.ebay.com/itm/20Pcs-SATA-Punch-Down-Power-Plug-Connector-for-ATX-PSU-IDE-SATA-Hard-DrivYJUS/303565748716 Have a multi-meter handy to verify continuity, but it's pretty simple Quote Link to comment

Stop array, unassign disk8 (and disk3 if not already), start array with both unassigned. Stop array, reassign disk8, start array to begin disk8 rebuild. After disk8 rebuild completes, you can shrink the array with New Config (without disk3) and rebuild parity. was successfully able to remove that drive and rebuild the emulated drive but i got a few errors in the sync correction and some in drive 7. hopefully it isnt an issue. server-diagnostics-20201001-1351.zip Quote Link to comment

trurl Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 So were the errors during data disk rebuild, during parity rebuild, or both? Quote Link to comment

trurl Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Technically, it is a parity sync not parity check after new config. In other words, a rebuild of parity, which is required since a data disk was removed and parity was no longer valid. Do the contents of the rebuilt data disk look OK? Quote Link to comment

trurl Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Those diagnostics are with the array stopped. Can you post another with the array started? Also, post a screenshot of Main - Array Operation. Quote Link to comment

trurl Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 OK. Just trying to confirm that your last parity check had errors. You must run a correcting parity check to correct those. And then run a non-correcting parity check to confirm you don't still have any. Exactly zero sync errors is the only acceptable result and until you get that result you aren't finished fixing things.
