Build Information:
Dell Optiplex 9020 MT with i7-4790
(2) m.2 500 GB SSD in a QNAP Dual M.2 SATA SSD to 2.5” SATA RAID Adapter as Cache (Plan to set up as RAID 1)
[Crucial P2 500GB 3D NAND NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD Up to 2400MB/s - CT500P2SSD8 are the specific m.2 drives]
(1) 14 TB HDD as Parity (working)
(1) 6 TB HDD as Storage (working)
(1) 4 TB HDD as Storage (still needs to be assigned)
(1) 4 TB External HDD shuckied and installed internal (still needs to be assigned)
(1) 4 TB External HDD currently has Data (needs to be precleaered and added)
4 Port SATA III PCI-e 2.0 x1 Controller Card to expand Drive capacity.
Motherboard has 4 SATA ports.
Parity drive is connected to SATA port on motherboard, and the 6 TB HDD is as well. the (2) 4 TB's that are installed and preclearing are attached to the SATA PCI-e controller card.
Issue that I'm having is the QNAP adapter that I'm supposed to use for cache isn't showing up. I first connected it to the SATA port on the motherboard, when that didn't work, after shutting down and installing more drives, I connected it to the PCI-e SATA card and again not seen/recognized
I selected this device based off of this build
