May 25, 20224 yr Hello, I thought I would repurpose my old tower into a NAS. I purchased 2 x 6TB WD Red's but one disk is always shown as disabled. I tried switching SATA connectors with no luck. Running SMART self test as I write this post, but I don't think the problem is with the HDD. The motherboard is an Asus Maximus V Gene V - Z77 chipset. Could this be due to a capacity limitation?

May 25, 20224 yr If the extended SMART test passed most likely it's a power/connection, diagnostics might give more clues.

May 25, 20224 yr Author Attaching diagnostics log. Assistance with troubleshooting is greatly appreciated. tower-diagnostics-20220525-1334.zip
May 25, 20224 yr Diags are after rebooting, but disk looks healthy, you mentioned swapping the SATA cable, swap the power cable also and rebuild, if it happens again post new diags before rebooting.
