Hi all. I don't know if this diagnostics will show this but I added it regardless.

 

I purchased 6 14TV Easystore to replace my current HDD. I followed the steps I found online. Stop Array, remove to drive you want to replace from selection, shut down the system, replace drive, start the system, put the new drive in the spot of the drive you want to replace, start array and it will rebuild the drive. I did this for PARITY 1, PARITY 2, and DISK 1.

 

Now that I am on DISK 2, it wont see the new drive I am replacing disk 2 with. I changed POWER cable, SATA cable, and even alternated each of the other 3 HDD I had left to add to the array. The system will not see them. It also does not show up on UD. When I put back the old drive, it sees it perfectly. 

 

All drives where connected to my main PC via a stat adapter and it reads fine. I ever formatted the drive again in NTFS just in case. Put them back, still nothing.

 

How can 3 drives not work?

 

I tried to put 1 of the drives not being read on PARITY 1 just to see if it would read it up there, and NOTHING. 

 

Any ideas?

3.3V pin issue?

After reading online and searching your statement, it says some computers seem to have issues with it because of power supply. However, my PC/power supply has already read 3 of them. I will be doing the test however, see if that’s the issue. I’ll report back. 
 

if anyone else has any idea in open   thanks all.

This worked 100%!. I dont understand why since I already did 3 without issues. But thanks so so much!
