Unraid won't see SSDs

[Indi]

Update: So the SATA cables from the motherboard worked, I guess I need to figure out why the SAS card won't see SSDs?

I put in two SATA SSDs that are 1TB, to add to my cache pool but for some reason Unraid won't see them? I am not sure what the issue is, because I take those same drives and plug them into my Windows 10 machine and I can see/format/use them just fine. 

 

I have a SAS card I've been using, which works great. I took the cables that I had plugged into the two additional SSDs and swapped them for my system cache drive and it worked, so it can't be the sata cables I am using. What else could stop the system from seeing the drives? 

Right now I am going to try using one of the SATA cables coming direct from the motherboard, to see if maybe my SAS card doesn't like reading SSDs

 

I've attached the diagnostics, if it helps (not sure it will if the drives aren't being seen)

Try updating the LSI firmware to latest, though onboard SATA would be better since the HBA won't support trim.
