August 26, 20223 yr Hi all, BIOS or unraid not recognising disk. Formatted to xfs using gparted using a different linux workstation. Also visible on a windows workstation. Drive is a WD white, model WD140EDFZ. I shucked it from an enclosure and have tried putting electrical tape over the 3 pin but no success. Attached diagnostics. Have tried using this disk in the past - https://forums.unraid.net/topic/119375-692-unraid-wont-boot-with-new-hdd-attached/#comment-1091601 and am trying it again due to replacing a failed 8TB disk. Server specs listed in that post. Have swapped around SATA and power cables, other disks continuing to work throughout. Open to any ideas or suggestions. Thanks in advance athena-diagnostics-20220826-1329.zip Edited August 26, 20223 yr by clem-fandango
August 26, 20223 yr Community Expert Use a Molex to SATA adapter to make sure it's not the 3.3v issue.
August 26, 20223 yr Author Thanks @JorgeB. Have tried in the past with no success. Have just tried again now, server doesn't even boot. Sits on the splash screen, doesn't accept keyboard input to get into the BIOS.
August 26, 20223 yr Author Ok so I powered on the server with SATA disconnected and power connected. Got into BIOS, obviously not detected. As I continue to boot to Unraid I plug in the SATA. Disk now visible in Unraid. A data rebuild has automatically kicked off so I'm going to leave it for the time being.
