I just bought a used 7K6000 SAS disk to add to one of my Norco 4224 cases at home. I have (3) H310s in this case flashed to IT mode. When I install the disk, the power LED comes on but the disk never powers up or shows up in Linux.
Other SAS disks in this same slot, or on the same backplane all work fine (I tried other slots on different backplanes with the same effect). So, I assuned the disk was just DOA...
But, before RMAing it, I tried one more thing. I disconnected one of the 8087 -> 8087 cables from my H310 to the backplane and instead hooked up an 8087 -> 4x SAS cable. I supplied power from my PSU with a 4-pin molex to SATA power plugged into the back of the SAS plug. Now the disk spins up and is visible in Ubuntu?!?!
At first, I thought this disk might have the new power disable feature, but then I remembered my backplanes all use molex plugs, so that shouldn't be an issue (plus, it doesn't look like these disks have that feature).
I'm at a loss on how to get this drive working on my backplanes and hope someone has a good suggestion.
Thanks!
