Issue initializing new SAS drive


Recommended Posts

Supermicro X9DR3-F
LSI SAS 2008 Card flashed to IT mode

Backplane - BPN-SAS2-846EL1

Unraid 6.8.3

 

Issue: I bought the HGST(HUH721008AL4200) 8TB SAS Drive new and am having issues trying to get my server to recognize it. I do have another SAS drive running wihtout issue in my system.

 

I can see the SAS drive in my Unassigned Devices, but can't mount it. Commands to start SMART testing don't work. I have tried it in different slots in the backplane with the same behavior in all of them.

 

Here is what I see in the logs:

Is this a bum drive or am I missing something completely obvious?

Thank you for your reply!


I don't believe that is the issue. I taped off the 3rd pin (followed instructions here: https://zackreed.me/hgst-7k6000-not-spinning-not-working/

) and am getting the same results. Tried it twice for good measure since the pin is very narrow.

 

This person had the exact same issue and ended up returning the drive...the replacement worked, so I suppose I will do that.
