Hey All, I am trying to install a new SAS HDD into my array (not my first SAS drive but most are SATA). When I reboot the unraid, I can see it as an unallocated blue square drive. I stop the array, bring up disk 22 (the next open slot), pull down to the drive. Things go gray for a bit and then it comes back with no device in slot 22 and no unallocated drive.
In the syslog I get buffer i/o error on dev sdk. I've attached the diagnostics and syslog.
Thanks ahead of time

True, the SAS drives have a slightly different connector than SATA. In most cases a SATA can fit into a SAS connector, but not the other way around. I am using this drive cage for my disks:

The odd thing for me is that the drive populates in the list of drives and only dies when I try to add it to the array. I am using this controller card for the interface:

As for more information, this is the 3rd SAS drive I have tried with this. I am starting to wonder if it is my controller card
