July 16, 20232 yr Hi, This is turning into quite the saga. Bought a 9300-16i on ebay and used SAS3FLASH to change the firmware to a newer version. See image. Both controllers are on version 16 (previously it was 8.X.X.X), but I still can't detect any drives via the card. Is there a newer firmware version I need to use, or do I need to change some settings in Unraid? Edited July 16, 20232 yr by articulateape

July 17, 20232 yr Author Hi JorgeB, thanks for helping me on this, you're a legend for these types of issues (mostly user error) Attached diagnostics. I've attached all cables to the HBA and connected one drive to each port. Seems like it's only detecting 2, so perhaps one of the controllers isn't working. I'll swap out some more HDDs to see if it's an error with drives or cables are bad. Thanks again! htpc-vault-diagnostics-20230717-1031.zip
July 17, 20232 yr Device Model: ST1000LM048-2E7172 Serial Number: WGS28GLD This 2.5" disk is connected to the HBA and being detected, do you feel/hear the other disks spin up? Could be the 3.3 SATA pin issue.
July 18, 20232 yr Author You're right I've been inspecting the setup and there are multiple issues. This system is a migration from an older pc. Good news is the HBA is detecting the drives. Bad news is that I think some drives have failed while I have been trying to get this new system going. Also I have a "Corsair RM850e 850W Fully Modular 80 Plus Gold PSU" and it seems two of the rails do not work with SATA 3.3 pin power connecter strings I bought. Once drives are on a new rail, it's all good. I have 13 of the 24 drives up and running, I'll update my progress. JorgeB, many thanks for your help!
July 25, 20232 yr Author Seems to be working well, card is running smoothly after a firmware update. PSU is now the trouble spot. please close thread and thanks again JorgeB!
