Pstark Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 I have an HGST 1.6TB SAS connected to my Dell H310 HBA. I want to use this drive to replace my m.2's (I already purchased another one for a cache pool) but this drive won't populate at all in Unraid. I have never used the drive so it's possible that it's dead but I don't know how I should procceed? The LED lights up and other SAS drives work without issues. Quote Link to comment

JorgeB Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Nothing in the log that I can see, do you hear the drive spinning up? You can also install a BIOS on the HBA then check if it's being detected there, if not it also won't be detected by Unraid. Quote Link to comment

The drives don’t populate in the MB bios. I’m thinking the drive needs to be formatted but it’s pretty hard to do that if Unraid can’t see it’s connected. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 It's not a case of formatting, it's a case of the drive not being detected 3 hours ago, JorgeB said: do you hear the drive spinning up? Quote Link to comment

The enclosure has an activity LED for this drive (bay5) that is solid all the time. There is one others SAS HDD (bay1) in the same enclosure and its light is solid like this one but works without issue. Bays 2, 3 and 4 are SATA and the light is only on during activity.

Solution JorgeB Posted October 17, 2022 Solution Share Posted October 17, 2022 The device is not being detected, not much you can do on the Unraid side. Quote Link to comment
