August 26, 20223 yr Hello all, I recently upgraded my motherboard, cpu, ram and on initial boot (1 of 4) of my 6tb white label drives wasn't showing up, but I figured no biggy I wanted to replace it with a larger drive anyways. I plug in 8 of my drives through an IT flashed HBA h310 card https://www.ebay.com/itm/164671032513 So I shutdown preparing to add my new drive to the config to replace it but another of similar 6tb drive stopped showing up after reboot. I have 4x6tb white labels that I've been using for almost a year. Suddenly two aren't working. So I start troubleshooting. 1. swap cables 2. swap psu cables 3. tried the 3.3v tape pin solution for the two drives. https://www.instructables.com/How-to-Fix-the-33V-Pin-Issue-in-White-Label-Disks-/ 4. tape b6 on my HBA card. http://yannickdekoeijer.blogspot.com/2012/04/modding-dell-perc-6-sas-raidcontroller.html No matter where I plug in these two specific drives they do not show. As an additional t/s step I plugged one into the motherboard directly and boom it shows up. But its not recognized as the same drive. Detects same serial but it'll still require me to make a new config to make it work. My concerns are how do I make sure I dont lose 12tb (2x6tb) worth of data? What the heck is going on with my setup? tower-diagnostics-20220826-0848.zip

August 26, 20223 yr Author Interesting.. Is that something that just happens? Im pretty sure it used to be in IT mode on my last system. Another update: Now another drive isnt showing up and its not a white label.

I followed these instructions and flashed according to the model of the card. https://fohdeesha.com/docs/perc.html Everything came back! Had to setup new config and we're back to normal!
