EduAid Posted July 8, 2021 Author Share Posted July 8, 2021 have tried on non uefi board but still same error Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 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.

JorgeB Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 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? Quote Link to comment
EduAid Posted July 8, 2021 Author Share Posted July 8, 2021 I don't know but shall I order them and give a try Quote Link to comment
