Hello all,
I recently upgraded my motherboard, cpu, ram and on initial boot (1 of 4) of my 6tb white label drives wasn't showing up, but I figured no biggy I wanted to replace it with a larger drive anyways. I plug in 8 of my drives through an IT flashed HBA h310 card https://www.ebay.com/itm/164671032513
So I shutdown preparing to add my new drive to the config to replace it but another of similar 6tb drive stopped showing up after reboot.
I have 4x6tb white labels that I've been using for almost a year. Suddenly two aren't working. So I start troubleshooting.
1. swap cables
2. swap psu cables
3. tried the 3.3v tape pin solution for the two drives. https://www.instructables.com/How-to-Fix-the-33V-Pin-Issue-in-White-Label-Disks-/
4. tape b6 on my HBA card. http://yannickdekoeijer.blogspot.com/2012/04/modding-dell-perc-6-sas-raidcontroller.html
No matter where I plug in these two specific drives they do not show.
As an additional t/s step I plugged one into the motherboard directly and boom it shows up. But its not recognized as the same drive. Detects same serial but it'll still require me to make a new config to make it work.
My concerns are how do I make sure I dont lose 12tb (2x6tb) worth of data?
What the heck is going on with my setup?
