October 25, 20205 yr Need to add more drives! NEWBIE : If you have an existing array running, and you remove a single SATA PCIe controller to install a larger one like LSI 9211 and move that existing drive to that controller will you loose the data on the drive because it will be at a new location? ** Worried ** I currently don't have a drive large enough to move my 12TB of data to back it up.

No, Unraid uses serial number, just make sure it's a regular HBA, don't use RAID controllers.

When you start up after swapping the controller, unraid should automatically recognise your drives and have them assigned . If there are any issues / missing drives etc. stop and ask for help.
