Govnah Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Picked up 3 of these drives for ~$100.00 and unfortunately they do not show up as devices in unRAID even though they show up in the BIOS just fine. Anyone have an idea or can point me in the right direction? Thanks Quote Link to comment
SSD Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I'd recommend that you look at the link to the wiki in my sig for instructions on how to capture and post your syslog. It will help forum members help you. Quote Link to comment
Joe L. Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Did you "stop" the array and then go to the "Devices" page to assign the new drives to logical slots in your array? Might be as simple as that. If you are using the "free" version of unRAID, you will only be able to assign 3 drives on the devices page. Are you at your limit and need to register to add more logical slots to your array? What version of unRAID are you using? As already mentioned, the syslog will tell us what we need to know to help you further. Joe L. Quote Link to comment
Govnah Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 Figured out the issue. Went into the BIOS and changed the SATA setting from IDE to ACHI...whatever that is, I will have to read up on that and the drives showed up. Thanks for the input. Further research: AHCI is the acronym for the Advanced Host Controller Interface. It is a new interface specification that allows the SATA controller driver to support advanced features like Native Command Queuing and Hot Plug. Makes sense to me Quote Link to comment

Govnah Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 Yes it was and here is the URL to remove the HD from the enclosure: http://www.johnle.com/guide/hitachi/ I was fortunate to pickup 5 and thinking about picking up 2 more. Great deal for sure. The drives run a little hot but for ~$120.00 you can't beat that.

Marky Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Is this deal still going on for these drives? I've not been able to find them at this price. Thanks Mark Quote Link to comment

Marky Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I'm in North San Diego County. According to the link for stock info the nearest BB to me has them. I'll be heading over to see what price they have them at. Thanks Mark Quote Link to comment
