July 8, 20214 yr PAL error only happens with UEFI boards, that's why I always use an older board without UEFI when I need to do crossflashing, just flashing/updating the firmware can be made using Unraid, and for that it doesn't matter if the board is UEFI or not, it always works.
July 8, 20214 yr Author have flashed and verified it but no hdd showed do i have to enable somthing in bios or what

July 8, 20214 yr They should work, they are for SAS devices, which will accept a SATA device, strangely the description mentions they are only for SATA devices, which doesn't make any sense, why use SAS plug for SATA devices?
