Hi gang, as stated, I am new here and new to diy builds in general. I am building a home server, NAS to use plex in my home theater. I have all of the parts assembled and have got as far as installing FreeNAS on my ssd. The problem I have now is that my HDDs are not recognized and are not even spinning up. Been troubleshooting as well as I can by reading things online but nothing seems to be working. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Here is my hardware list:
Case: Fractal Node 304
MB: Asus Prime H310i Plus R.2 csm
Processor: Intel Pentium Gold 5400
PSU: Corsair CMX 550 (was using SFX450 with custom bracket)
Ram: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB
SSD: Mushkin Pilot-E 120G PCIe M.2
HDD: 1x Deskstar 4T NAS 3x Seagate Ironwolf 4T NAS
I updated the BIOS on the MB already. Is it a matter of formatting the HDDs? If so, whats the best way to go about this? As I said I am very new to this.
Thanks in advance.
