mathomas3 Posted October 7 Posted October 7 Long story short I found and paid for a dual actuator HDD. Never seen this before but after doing some reading on it, it may show as two HDD to the OS? Will it display as a single HDD or two different HDD? MDD (MD14TSAS25672E-2X14) 14TB 7200RPM 256MB Cache 4KN SAS 12Gb/s 3.5inch (Dual Actuator) Enterprise Hard Drive Thank you for your time. Quote
JorgeB Posted October 7 Posted October 7 I believe that SAS models should show as two different drives, using both LUNs Quote

Im sure this is a nitch issue. If this is the case, could this be solved using software? Quote
JorgeB Posted October 7 Posted October 7 Not that I know of, dual actuator SATA models are detected as a single drive. Quote
mathomas3 Posted October 7 Author Posted October 7 I got 5 of them at 80 each. It's cheap enough to play around with and see if they will work. Im not going to put much effort into it. I see that there have been other threads commenting on it and there is a script out there for it. Research will be needed. Crossing my fingers that unraid sees them as a single drive though Quote
