At the moment I have a Freenas machine build out of spare parts:
The new build is going to have the following parts:
Q1: “Can I just move these disks (containing the data) to the new machine and import the volume into Freenas, or will that inadvertently lead to the loss of all my data?”
Q2: “Does flashing the SuperMicro to IT mode still make a difference, and if so, does anyone have a link for me to the correct LSI firmware and a good step by step?” Seeing that this will be a first for me I’d rather not kill my new motherboard before I even had a chance to use it.
Thanks

The new build is going to have the following parts:

- 4x Crucial 8gb pc3-12800 (1600 mhz, cas 9, 240 pin, EEC, unbufferd)
