September 14, 20232 yr Hello I thought I had got this drive to finally work after disabling EPC and power-controll (before that the head parket every minute and the drive shut down randomly), but during preclear it seems to fail because no space left on disk? I dont get what is going on now preclear_disk_ZVT5T2M4_18568.txt ST20000NM007D-3DJ103_ZVT5T2M4-20230914-1022.txt

If this is working now, I think I know what the problem is. I started off having the drive in my Chieftec 2*5.4" to 3*2.5" bay, that bay used 2*4pin molex to power the backplane. For some reason, it looks like enterprise drives does NOT like that power delivery/backplane, even if I made sure EPC and power-control was disabled. My older CoolerMaster PSU in the Unraid box has 5pins on the sata power cables, that should mean 3.3v lines are connected, I wonder if it will work if I use those or if I have to use 3pin sata power/molex adapter for this drives.....need to test. When I figure all this out, I may write a post about this complete story so others in my situation can read my experiences Thanks for the input edit: According to the manual for this drive, it needs only 5v and 12v, so it must be something else with that backplane thise enterprise drives does NOT like.....Since they dont have the middle screws, looks like I need a new case for my unraid box soon.....
