    ArkahmAsylym got a reaction from Mikensan in Eight failed NAS drives?   
    Well it turns out the original EVGA PSU I was using was shorted, blowing my HDD's.  I went out and bought a Corsair RM850x and viola it sees drives in the bios now. Thanks @Spotty, @Captain Chaos, @Stefan Payne, and EVERYONE else that gave me incite and information on this problem!  You guys are soooo helpful, and I really mean that! Here's the picks of my build right now before cable management.  Not too much to see....

    Yes, connectors on the PSU are the same, but other end is different for CPU and GPU plugs.

    You should replace that PSU as its the old HX silver, not the modern one.

    they are the same voltage (both carry only 12v and ground wires) but the pinout are different and cannot replace one another.

    They're fed from the same 12V rail, but connectors are different.

    Dell R510, HP DL380p Gen8 etc. Check out https://labgopher.com/, it checks ebay listing for servers and you can filter for the kinds of things you want i.e. 3.5" bays and it lets you know how good of a deal it might be.
     
    Only if you need it, like transferring large files often. Saying that there is lots of cheap 10Gb NICs on ebay anyway.
     
    Yes all you need is a SAS HBA or RAID card with external ports and an external disk shelf that you plug in to that SAS card using SAS cables. You can chain down to a lot of disks, more than you'd realistically run at home before you hit the limit.

    ArkahmAsylym reacted to Spotty in (UPDATED - Claim has been removed) The Linux Gamer's response video to LTT got claimed by Fullscreen   
    You seem to be misinformed. There's a HUGE difference between a copyright claim and a takedown notice resulting in a copyright strike.

    Copyright claims, which is what has happened here to The Linux Gamer are often an automatic process where Content ID detects that a portion of your copyrighted content has appeared in another video on Youtube, and will issue a copyright claim on the video. The video remains public and viewable by the viewers, however any ad revenue generated by the video may be redirected to the original copyright holder. There's no punishment for the channel when a copyright claim is made against them, they will just lose the revenue for the video.

    Copyright strikes or takedown notices, which is what The Verge did, are when they manually issue a legal notice that a video is infringing on their copyright and that they demand the video be removed from the platform. The channel will then receive a copyright strike against their channel which comes with punishments for the channel, such as losing their ability to live stream or perhaps no longer being 'recommended' or promoted in the search results or feed which can severely hurt the channels traffic and views. If they are issued with multiple copyright strikes, their channel can be removed completely.

    What The Verge did was malicious and was purely because they didn't like what Bitwit was saying. What happened to The Linux Gamer is just the result of an automated system, and it appears the MCN Fullscreen has swiftly corrected the mistake and the video is no longer claimed.

    If it turns out to be a faulty sata controller, you can pick up a cheap SAS controller with SATA breakout cables running in HBA mode.

    During bootup after the POST look for screens that give you a key command to enter additional settings (CTRL+H etc..) and just poke around. Ideally you're looking to get into whatever raid management your motherboard has. Some raid controllers (like my M5015) do not present disks until they are in some form of raid (even if it is just a single disk).
     
    Would be a little odd for a motherboard sata controller to do this, but I've seen stranger things.

    @SpottyI used a 750 G+ and a corsair 1050 PSU.  I double checked the cable connections in the PSU and even made sure the cables were labeled correctly for the connections (LOL).  Tried multiple SATA cables and even tested the PSU's with a Multi-meter at the source. I have 12/5/3V all in the correct spots.

    NAS drives function just like any other HDD, so as long as they have power and a SATA connection they should work. 
    Even if the drives are damaged during shipping, they should still show up in the BIOS.  To me it sounds like they're just not getting power, but your tests so far seem to contradict that.
     
    Try connecting the drives (one by one) to another PC and see if they show up there in disk managment (they may be unformatted, so don't expect them to show up in Windows).
    Also try connecting a known good HDD (preferably a small old one that you don't mind losing)  to the NAS' motherboard and see if that one shows up in the BIOS.  Then try it again in another PC to see if the PSU destroyed the drives.

    I think tomorrow I'm going to go through every one of the drives, one by one, and see if they show in my Windows Disk Management. Late here now so no time tonight.

    @SpottyCorrect, It isn't detected in Disk Management (neither one I used).  I've already swapped cables without success.
     
    @scottyseng The drives are not making noise, but WD REDs are normally quiet.
     
    @Captain Chaos Already tried a 4TB seagate that I know works.
