My business is binning a broken storage array and have let me take as many 6TB Segate Enterprise Storage V4 drives as I can carry. I plan to make a small 3D printed DAS enclosure for these drives (around 8 or so), i have a Dell rebanded LSI 12gb HBA but I cannot get these HDD’s to spin when connected to power and SAS. I’ve heard about the 3.3v on the first 3 pins of the sas interface so I removed them from one of the HDD’s to test and I still cannot get them to spin up. My power supply is an external pico psu which can power around 8 HDD’s. It powers my SATA drives fine but not one SAS drive will spin up. Any one have any ideas??? Thanks
