SoloLab Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 System: I was able to get an old Dell T320 and I had 3 new 4TB hard drives. 2 seats Baracuda and 1 WD blue No hard drives are registered. I attached the diagnostic zip file. Any ideas? the hard drives are in hot swap bays tower-diagnostics-20180521-1343.zip Quote Link to comment
SoloLab Posted May 21, 2018 Author Share Posted May 21, 2018 (edited) Yeah, I just ran a system check, and all 3 hard drives are recognized. When I F2 into system setup and navigate to Physical drive management. All drives appear. Edited May 21, 2018 by SoloLab Quote Link to comment
John_M Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 The only storage devices being seen by unRAID are your USB boot device and a DVD drive.

In order to use the RAID controller you will need to find out if you can put it into JBOD or IT mode. A quick search revealed this: which doesn't look hopeful, but that was over three years ago.

SoloLab Posted May 22, 2018 Author Share Posted May 22, 2018 (edited) Thanks so much, yeah i think that confirm me thinking it was something wrong with the perc controller. Can I remove the Perc completely? or should i look for a compatible upgrade Edited May 22, 2018 by SoloLab Quote Link to comment

SoloLab Posted May 22, 2018 Author Share Posted May 22, 2018 (edited) it is a PCI one, Thanks for your help. Update: I swapped it out got an H310 and it works fine. Edited June 2, 2018 by SoloLab Quote Link to comment
