March 6Mar 6 Hi! So I had server running fine but needed to add capacity and changed the case to an unykach hsw4u6508 that has a backplane, added an hba Broadcom LSI 9305-16i supposedly already in It mode connected with 2 sff8643 to sff8643 and 2 molex for power but now the drives aren't recognized. I also added a 2nd gpu but the hba seems to be recognized on unraid. Here's my syslog so that any gentil soul can help me syslog.txt Edited March 6Mar 6 by renk1 wrong files uploaded
March 6Mar 6 HBA is being correctly initialized, just not detecting any devices. Do you have a miniSAS cable to test bypassing the backplane?
March 6Mar 6 Author I've also tried with 2 sas sff8643 reverse breakout from the backpland to 4 sata each on the motherboard and are also not detected. The backplane lights up on the disks that are occupied but the system don't seem to be detected. I'm a bit perplexed because now I'm trying and bypass 1 drive connecting sata power and a sata cable directly to the motherboard/drive it's not detected
March 6Mar 6 Author Also the drives are not detected in the hba bios on the backplane... The psu is a 650w kinda old but working fine before the change but it doesn't use the original cables, I guess I'll try and buy another one tomorrow Edited March 6Mar 6 by renk1

March 8Mar 8 Author I don't think that the are spinning but can't really tell because of the vibrations. I tried 2 others that i had lying around and they do get detected and appear as new drives on unraid, I then took 2 of the non working disks and plugged them on a windows pc and i hear the usb drive sound but they don't seem to be spinning, disk management is asking me to choose MBR or GPT. Are the drives probably dead or can I save them somehow?
