March 10, 20215 yr Trying to add two new drives to take my Array to Parity + 6 HDDs + Cache (8 drives) Connecting through a LSI HBA with 8 cables. All 8 seem to work as I have had other drives in the slots as unassigned drives, but the final HDD bay seems to keep being ignored by Unraid...like it doesn't even know it exists. One was shucked (10tb) and worked as as a USB drive (even when shucked) and the other is a brand new 12tb N300. Neither are formatted, or even have a pre existing partition. Can anyone advise what I can do/check to make it work? Thanks wopr-diagnostics-20210310-2257.zip

March 11, 20215 yr For my understanding Toshiba N300 12TB were not manufacturing by Toshiba, it should OEM from WD. Not like its 6TB / 8TB line which not OEM. BTW, I haven't confirm N300 12TB have or haven't apply 3.3v control, but this quite easy to shoot. Edited March 11, 20215 yr by Vr2Io
March 11, 20215 yr You can try to either mask the appropriate PIN on the drive with Kapton tape or use a Molex to SATA power adaptor.
