I am very familiar with chkdsk became of that lol and I did that perm thing already! I think I had make user have all writes too. Its working but when I balance it cant access some files

Yeah , I do not think these disks are faulty , its the controller. Now I did just fiddle with things and at the moment its way more stable and things actually measured. For now I am moving data away from 3 issue disks. Issue was I got balance to 46.2% but then I got bunch of access denied errors in the service logs

That would make sense , now I my sas card is LSI 9207-8i (IBM M5110) , I suspect its at fault for all these errors. Whats the proper method to apply the file placement rules? It seems to me that the process of measuring is what knocks my disks offline. I am copying all media files off the 3 drives and disabled service for time being. I will try buy better sas card in future and keep the 3 disks as back up storage for later issues.

So long story short been fighting with unraid for 2-3 years. I left it for windows 11 + drive pool. I been using drive pool on my home pc for long time love the software. so on this server pc i got issues with a few driives namely ECHO DELTA Novemember Lima. I named them after the phonetic alphabet. So Delta died and went and formatted itself. I ended up taking it out and made it a external drive and now it works great. I think it was my sas controller a lsi 9200 so I swapped it with another lsi sas and I got 3 of my drives back. I had myriad of device not ready errors and corruption from those few drives. So I went into the settings of balance and said to ignore those 3 drives till we are 90% full. At the taking of that screenshot echo dropped off and i added it back. I moved my sas card from slot 3 to slot 2 in the mobo and now im having a lot issues. Aus rog strix gaming x570-e mobo 64 gb ram 2400 mhz corsair amd ryzen 5800x H keeps dropping and reconnecting slowly. I made SAS adapter increase timeout to 60 seconds. I want to put file rules into effect but it wont go into effect?
