I know about the space reduction. That's why I was using their RAID 0 Spanning / JBOD. I had this backed up because it was less than 2 TB of data. Backing up huge storage means huge backup. I wish Mediasonic would actually explain how to replace failed drives in that configuration.

I fixed it (in a round-about way). I changed the RAID to RAID 5, then put the new drive in bay 1 and restored the files. Apparently drive 1 is always going to show as the original set up / file structure. Even when I deleted the partition and reformatted that 2 TB drive it showed as 7+ TB...

No, it's the 4 bay. I put the new disk in and nothing happened. The array doesn't show in anything. And I still have aHHD error indicator on the front panel (no light in the array).

Apparently I am confused by actual nomenclature versus Mediasonic forum posts. Mediasonic says there are two types of RAID 0 - spanning mode (BIG) and striping mode - on these enclosures. Their manual calls it JBOD link to screen shot: https://photos.app.goo.gl/3f3AZemqhkB9NP8W9 On their...

I had a drive fail in a Raid 0 JBOD configuration. But I cannot, for the life of me figure out how to actually replace the disk (other than physically inserting it). As far as I can tell, only the Disk 1 is actually seen as formatted by Windows 10 when the drive enclosure with blank disks is...

Samir The 9020 owners manual specifically says not to do that. It causes BSOD on startup (ask me how I know!).

Yes. So this AM I switched the modules I put the 'new ones' (Dell OEM) in slots 1&2 (white). The computer started with no issues. Those are specifically Hynix 4GB PC3-12800. Then I put the 'original' modules in slots 3&4 (black tabs). On startup , after the BIOS screens, I got a "Warning...

They are used Dell OEM 4gb modules and the BIOS says they are just like the other two.

If I add RAM to the "blue slots" (3&4) on my transplanted Optiplex 9020, on startup I get a error message that the memory configuration has changed and to select F1 to continue or F2 to change the memory in BIOS (A25). There is no option on the BIOS to reconfigure the memory. Exiting the BIOS...

And products are built to be non-repairable. There was a time that if your TV went on the fritz, you took it to the repairman. Now you throw it away and buy another.

Okay - so jumper pins 1 & 2 on the 5 pin connector.

How did you wire the PSU?

Good morning. I have transplanted a Dell Optiplex 9020 into a Corsair 100R case. Everything is good except the power switch. My plan was / is to use the pin 1 & 2 / jumper 3& 4 mod. Only it apparently isn't working for some reason. And yes, I clipped away the fence around the pins on the...
