Solution perfect Posted July 13, 2023 Solution Share Posted July 13, 2023 (edited) ###SOLVED### The renewed hard drives that I bought have a "power save" feature and required me to use a special SATA power cable that I guess bypasses this feature. This was included with the HDD, but I didn't consider that it was needed until I read reviews on Amazon. I was able to find the disk and am re-building my parity with the upgraded 10TB HDD! I am replacing a 3TB WD HDD with a 10TB HGST HDD (renewed from a data center pull, mostly likely). I stopped the array, removed the original parity drive and replaced with the larger 10TB drive. When I restarted the system, the new 10TB is not showing up as assignable and my system doesn't seem to recognize it. I tried a 2nd 10TB HGST HDD (bought from the same source) and that doesn't show up either. Here are the drives that I bought in case that matters: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DPKWLJR I bought 5 of these HGST 10TB drives to upgrade my system - not off to a great start!

Obviously it doesn't only apply to WD. https://forums.unraid.net/topic/73717-solutions-shucked-wd-8tb-easystore-33v-pin-issue/ Quote Link to comment
