[Solved] Added 2 WD drives and unRAID went bonkers! (due to 3.3v SATA power issue)

Hi there, I added two WD 8TB drives to a perfectly working unRAID system - when the system boots up, it goes into Stale Configuration. 

 

I have attached the diagnostic file here, generated when the system could not gracefully shut down after 60 secs. Further to this one of my new 8TB became disabled. (Disk 7) 

 

Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Regards. cL

There's a problem with one of them since early booting :

Check connections, there's not even a valid SMART report.

Thanks, I had to stop the array, assign No Device to Disk 7, then start the service, stop, assign the same disk to it, restart... to get the data-rebuild going. 

 

I wonder what I can do with the 2 new WD drives? Any ideas? One gave the errors, and the other was not detected at all in Unassigned Devices... I think I will try adding on the missing one again after my unRAID gets back to a stable state. 

 

My plan was to install an extra parity and add another 8TB to the array... I will have to wait for a day or two until the rebuild is complete.

My friend told me to plug the troublesome drives (with the 3.3V pin issues) into my hotswap cages - lo & behold I was able to 'see' them. I am now preclearing all in one go! It seems that the hotswap cages corrects the power issues. I am really grateful for my peer expertise including you guys. My unRAID is hopefully on its way to a 'healthy' state. Thank you all.
