Heisenberg1977 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 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? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 If you mean total disk capacity, no, it can't be that. Quote Link to comment

JorgeB Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 If the extended SMART test passed most likely it's a power/connection, diagnostics might give more clues. Quote Link to comment

JorgeB Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Unrelated, but your system share has files on disk1 Quote Link to comment
