crusemm Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 (edited) 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 Dell manual Any help you can provide would be great, as my Google-fu has come up dry on this one Edited December 14, 2020 by crusemm additional drive information Quote Link to comment

crusemm Posted December 15, 2020 Author Share Posted December 15, 2020 Thanks, I think I figured that out last night. I am returning the whole setup and going with 2 500 GB SSD's. I really appreciate the answer though. Quote Link to comment
