3 questions.

 

Which RAID controller do you have?

Does the HDD show up in the RAID controller bios?

What capacity is the hard drive you put in?

 

For some random info information...

  • you can not put SAS drives and SATA drives in the same array.
  • The Perc 6i does not support drives greater than 2TB.
  • Yes a SAS back plane will support SATA.
