Hello,
I'm trying to verify quality on a bunch of SAS disks I got before I sell them. I think they're fine, but people want a CrystalMark/Info check before buying usually.

I got a LSI Logic Controller Card LSI00301 SAS 9207-8i and a SFF-8087 to SFF-8482 cable that I'm using with the SATA power plugs out of my power supply.

I can get into the Avago configuration utility (v7.39) but no disks are present. When I boot into windows it's the same, no disks.

I've swapped the power cords with the one powering the computer, so I know the powersupply is providing power out of the ports. The disks don't seem to spin up.

I'm a little lost on what to do to troubleshoot next?

The disks are Dell EMC 4TB SAS 0B36053.

If I had to guess, 3.3V power disable issue. It's reason number 2 in my list:


Try to tape off the 3.3V pins on either the HDD or the SATA plug and see if the drives are detected.

Thank you very much! I'll check out the video and report back. Just didn't know where to go next to troubleshoot and brain was fried.
