JohanSF Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 (edited) 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?

JorgeB Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 If the drives are not detected by the LSI BIOS the same will be the case for Unraid, try a different cable. Quote Link to comment
