Hello all! Posting an update so we can close the thread, but I've rebuilt a brand new system and tested drives that weren't apart of the array I was running and they came up just fine in the new system. But when I put any of the drives in the new system from the old system, it was cold to the touch, with no kind of activity. The molex splitter that was in original system did not work with the new drives in the new system. I pulled another molex splitter from another system and it worked in the new system. So I say all of that to say that what more than likely happened was a power surge and I fried all of my drives during the upgrade. Thanks to all that tried to help me out! Time to start from scratch!

No it doesn't but when I slot the hard drive in and go to the disk management, it pops up to format. Yeap, I hooked it up and now none of the drives are showing. *Edit: removed the molex to sata and now none of the drives are showing. I'm pretty sure I just killed the remaining drives I had showing. brashear-diagnostics-20251121-2143.zip

So I have this really weird issue. I recently went to swap my setup out with a newer one. During this process, half of my drives stopped showing up. Initially I thought it might the usual suspects, dead card, faulty cables, motherboard compatibility issue. But then I started thinking that none of that made sense because I still saw drives, then I had a thought: which drives are not showing up? And I noticed a trend, they were all my white label drives (WD140EDFZ, WD140EMFZ, WD120EMFZ and WD80EMAZ). So I took the drive out, made sure the 3.3v mod was still good and put the parity into a new system and it came right up when I went to disk management, ready to be formatted. Then I took a WD Blue 4TB drive and put it in the same position the white label was in, and that drive popped right up in unassigned drives. I also bought new cables for my LSI and Expander card and still the same thing. So I'm at my wits end trying to figure this one out. I've attached the diagnostics. brashear-diagnostics-20251121-1823.zip
