DS4243 - not detecting drives

Hi everyone,

I'm having issues with my DS4243 which funny enough I bought a week before LTT released their video.

I ended up going with the below which I feel I've made a mistake but I'm seeing the HBA on trueNAS, windows and ubuntu but no drives.

Hardware:
- LSI SAS 9300-8e Host Bus Adapter

- External Mini SAS HD SFF-8644 to QSFP(SFF-8436) Hybrid SAS Cable, 30AWG, 100-Ohm, 1.5-m(5ft)

- Netapp ds4243

- Optiplex 7050 i7 running Windows and another running ESXI 6.7U2

Does anyone have any suggestions as I've got it all plugged in and from my understanding using the HBA they should just show up without much config?

I've got the HBA hooked up to TrueNAS but I'd love to have it hook up to my ESXI 6.5U2

The below is how Ubuntu showed the device.

Didn’t Linus use way larger drives in it?
