I am palnning to change my hardware too which is very old.
I have pentium with mother board in sata 2.
I have 6 hhd connected and 1 ssd for omv system.
I saw that you solved your problem.I am interessting of the reason to take into account when i will do the change.
Hi arno,
well I didn't really solve it, but I just marked it as solved because I was a little disappointed no one had any idea.
But maybe a little input for you. Before I bought my hard drives I use now, I had older SMR hard drives in total 16TB and even though the drives were a bit broken and some had a 100% failure rate based on SMART. But I didn't want to let them die in a drawer so I thought "Screw it I put them in again as a temporary storage if I just want to temporarily store something big there" So I put them in with the thought "If they die they die". But it seems like they were slowing down the boot process for whatever reason.
What I did is I plug and play all drives from my old pc to the new one, turned off every stupid HP company setting in the BIOS and that's it.
Also, I renewed the swap space in case there should be compatibility issues.
I don't know if it helps you.
