Micron 9200 Max problem

[roberth58]

I have one of the 1.6TB from the deals forum, but it's not recognized. PCIe adapter card in 2 HP motherboards Z420 and Z840,tried G2 X8, G3 x8 and x16 slots and a 846SAS3 backplane. Win10, Linux and Unraid can't see it. Front of drive has a green led on steady and a blinking red/orange led. Any ideas?

In your Linux/Unraid environment:
What are the outputs of dmesg and lscpi commands? (don't post the entire contents, but grep for "nvm" in the dmesg and look for new devices in the lspci output).
What I am getting at, are there any signs of some PCI device being detected and possible error messages in relation to this?

Nada, only nvm devices showing are the ones in an Asus hyper m.2 that contains the cache pools.

There might also be something interesting when grepping for pci/pcie, but if you see nothing in lspci probably not all that interesting.

Do you get any information in BIOS about linkstate of the slot?

The obvious thought is there is an issue with the adapter (or the disk itself), what adapter are we talking about?
If I remember correctly HP uses a weird adapter with their "Z turbo" drives that may cause issues (but again AFAIK only in non HP systems, so...).

I suppose a possibility is to try in a non-HP system, but honestly at this point I am just grasping for straws.
Likewise while you are at it, ensure the drive is properly seated into the adapter.
You could also try updating BIOS of motherboards.

Same results in a non HP system. BIOS latest on all motherboards. Going to give up and send it back.
