PsiPlexServ Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Hello everyone I tried to switch out my mobo and cpu so that my VM would run better and now the drives don't work at all. I had a MSI M5 with a i7-6700k I decided to upgrade to a MSI wifi pro with i7-11700fk. When it powered back on the 3 hard drives where missing, it's been a week and I've tried everything I could think of. This included buying 4 port sata pci-e card, new sata cables, using my hard drive dock but nothing saw the drives. Today I tried some super old drives I had laying around and the showed up no problem. So now I'm pretty sure the drives are dead and I lost everything. I was just wondering if you guys had any suggestions and if you could tell me how to clear the array so I can buy now drives and start over. Thanks Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 You can clear the array by doing a new config (Tools -> New config) Quote Link to comment

It was sata pwr to sata pwr. I just went from the 400w to 750w because i needed another cable for cpu on the new board. I did try taping the 3.3v power on the drives but that didn't work either.

They were are different cable since the old psu had them all built in. I even bought new cables because I thought that was the problem. Edited June 25, 2022 by PsiPlexServ Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Was this a modular PSU? There is no standard for modular PSU cables and many have fried disks by using different cables Quote Link to comment
