Replace Failing Hard Drives in UnRaid

Got failing disks in your Unraid server? This step-by-step guide shows exactly how to replace two bad drives in Unraid and safely rebuild your data. In this video, I walk through identifying drives with errors, stopping the array properly, deselecting failed disks, starting in maintenance mode, and physically replacing both drives. After installing the new disks, we assign them correctly, restart the array, and monitor the rebuild process. You’ll also see what happens when unreadable data triggers a reconstruction and how long a rebuild can realistically take. I backed up data before starting, but this walkthrough demonstrates how Unraid redundancy handles drive failure and rebuilds data with zero errors. Once the rebuild completes, both disks return to normal operation and all data is restored. If you're running a home lab, Plex server, or storage array, knowing how to properly replace failed drives in Unraid is critical for protecting your data. ⭐ Like & Subscribe If this helps you, hit 👍 and subscribe 🔔 — it really supports the channel. 💸 Support & Bonus Some links below are affiliate links, which help support the channel at no extra cost to you.
