After further testing it seems to be an issue with the size of the drive. Any drive less than 12TB works just fine, 12TB and above are not detected. Think i'll try cross flashing to LSI and see what happens.

Mine connect thru an expander also.

I'm currently working on an issue where the Inspur doesn't detect a SATA drive. Stand by.

Nothing wrong with the drive, It's a Seagate ST12000NM0127 12TB drive. I've never had a situation where an SAS controller failed to see a SATA drive. Any ideas? EDIT - OK, I replaced the Inspur with a Dell H310 and it detected the SATA drive without a problem. Whatever the problem is it's with...

Supermicro's new fanless mini server SYS-E302-12D-8C sporting a Xeon D 1736NT 8 core with all the fixings. A bit pricey but no real competition as far as I know. Supermicro IOT/Embedded System (SYS-E302-12D-8C)

Anyone who has ever dealt with Toshiba's RMA dept. Knows it's not the most reputable company. Took me almost 2 years of constant nagging to get them to send me my replacement drive.
