July 9, 20205 yr I bought a pair of 6TB ironwolf drives that I cant seem to get the motherboard to see let alone Unraid. I have tried more PSU's I can throw a stick at as well as SATA cables and SATA ports. For the record I am running a 2nd Gen Threadripper CPU. If I plug the drive in with power and sata it doesnt get past the post screen if I plug the drive in with only power it gets past the post screen. Drive just makes an odd sound which may lead me to believe it is a bad driver ( Brand new) but I bought two of them and they both do the same thing. If you list to the video carefully you can hear the sound it makes. Anyone have any ideas?
July 9, 20205 yr That noise doesn't look normal, at least I have an 8TB Ironwolf and it doesn't make that.
July 9, 20205 yr Author It sounds almost like the heads are stuck. There arent any funny settings in bios that I would need to check are there?

July 10, 20205 yr Did you try the drives on a different system ? It is possible that they were damaged during transport as jonathan says. Edited July 10, 20205 yr by ChatNoir
