djsl Posted April 23, 2011 Author Share Posted April 23, 2011 thanks but I have tried that before. I just switched cables again to make sure with no help. Link to comment

It will not show up in unRAID until you stop the array and use the "'devices" page to assign it to a slot in the array. Link to comment
djsl Posted April 23, 2011 Author Share Posted April 23, 2011 here are the specs 4.7 pro P5B-VM-DO 2G memory Super Micro 8 port sas/sata total 8 drives Sata, 1 drive ide have had server for at least four years running I do stop the array to add device but it is not on the list. I would also think it is a bad drive or cable but as I mentioned before I have changed the cable, I have already replaced the drive with a new one, I know the drive works because I have tried on a windows pc.

djsl Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 I gave up on this drive. Picked up a seagate 2T and now preclearing it. Link to comment
SSD Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I have a bunch of Hitachi 2 TB drives and never had a problem, with the same motherboard and controller. Although the disk could be malfunctioning, this is a very peculiar way for a bad drive to present. Are you sure that the disk model you posted is correct? (H3D20003254S) I think all Hitachi's start with "HDS". I don't have any that even remotely resemble that, and Google turns up next to nothing. Assuming you don't have some disk from Mars, my guess would be a loose cable. If you still have it in your box, try running this command: ls -l /dev/disk/by-id Link to comment
Joe L. Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I do stop the array to add device but it is not on the list. you must reboot after physically adding the disk. unRAID does not detect drives you just plug in while it is running. (Well, it does, but does not add them to the list of available drives in anything before 5.0beta6a.) Link to comment
djsl Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share Posted April 25, 2011 bjp999 you are right the model number is HDS5C3020AlA632. The other number I posted before was from the packaging under p/n. It is already out of the box and I am going to ship it back tomorrow. Joel I had rebooted the box many times trying to get it to work, I tried everything. It just seems weird that I had same problem with two drives back to back. Link to comment
SSD Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I have several with similar model HDS5C3020ALA632. I have had great success with the Hitachi's. Sorry you had trouble. Link to comment
