Hey guys
Need a little help
My setup is
Motherboard: supermicro x11spm f
Processor: intel xeon gold 6148
64 gb of ecc ram
I am using a lsi 9300 16i hba card
My 500 gb ssd and a 250 gb ssd is getting read normally
But when i try to connect my 20 tb hdd it is not getting read by the software
Please help me how to fix this issue
Have you used the sasflash tutorial to determine if your HBA is running current firmware in IT mode? That is where I would start.
If the HBA is good re: firmware, the next thing to investigate is whether your drive might be using a SAS interface but the connector / HBA you’re using is SATA only.
If it’s a shucked white label disk you may have to cover the 3.3v pin to get them to work
Why are you using a HBA if you only have three drives?
I have already upgraded my firmware to p16 it mode
And my hdd is using sata interface
Also i am planning to add a total of 36 drives in my case each of 20tb
I contacted seagate customer service about this case; they say to get the hdd replaced; So lets wait for replacement drive to come and will update here
You got any electrical tape that you can use & try to see if drive is detected when 3.3v is taped off on sata power side? @LarsR might be onto something; it isn’t just shucked drives that don’t boot with 3.3v though.
Low risk; high reward imo.
