Plz help: Two WD drives won't spin up in ICY DOCK drive cage

[bfeist]

Hi all,

I just moved 19 drives into new ICY DOCK 5 in 3 drive cages. All drives are healthy except two WD drives. One is a WD80EMAZ shucked, the other is a WD80EZAZ shucked. To narrow down the issue, I attached each of them to a USB controller and they spun right up and UNRAID recognized them as part of the array. Putting them back in a drive cage and they wouldn't spin up at all. I have tried different drive cage slots, etc.

 

I have 3 other WD drives in the array that are working. Two are WD80EZZX shucked and one is WD80EZAZ shucked. No issues at all with them.

 

Any thoughts on what might be going on?

 

Thx

Hey,

Could be the 3.3V Pin Issue in White Label Disks Shucked From Western Digital usb enclosures.

You can try searching here. I think it was discussed.

Interesting. Wouldn't that have shown up when I first shucked the drive (years ago)? They have both been in my array since ~2019

You said you moved them to a dock. Maybe previous you had molex to SATA power adapters.

@jondak you're a genius! I just applied the 3.3V fix and they both now spin up. Thanks so much for the quick and knowledgable reply!
