July 15, 20205 yr Hi all, I just installed two brand new drives to my LSI SAS2008 controller, but I'm not seeing them in unRaid. I can feel them running with the touch of a finger on the physical drives so it should not be a connection issue. The drives are both this model: WESTERN DIGITAL ULTRSTAR DC HC550 18TB 3.5 SAS SE 512MB 7200 WUH721818AL5204 INT This is the cable: https://www.av-cables.dk/diverse-sas-kabler/mini-sas-kabel-sff-8087-til-4-x-sas-29pin-sff8482-0-75.html I have searched both google and the forum here, and found this, but I am not sure if it is relevant for my case: Here you can see the card while booting: The settings: SAS Topology (I tried with the cable plugged in to either SAS port: I use this SAS cable and it definitely feels high quality - my PSU is the RM 550x powering the drives via molex with no conversion: Can you help me troubleshoot it?
