This one is strange. My setup currently is:
2x4tb HDDs
2x3tb HDDs
1x120gb boot SSD
7700k
Z270 Extreme4
Today I decided to add another M2 (SATA, not NVME) 240gb SSD - by installing it in my M2 slot. After installing and powering up the machine, I found out that one of my drives is not present on the machine (the new SSD however is):
After opening the machine, removing the new SSD and booting up the machine again, I could see my "gone" HDD once again. After installing the SSD in the M2 slot, and checking all the power and SATA cables, the HDD (same one) was again gone offline, hence the same error.
I decided to install the M2 SSD to another M2 slot on the motherboard - this time, not one but two drives went offline, taking my whole pool down. After removing the SSD, the two HDDs went online and my pool is currently healthy.
Question is, WTF? How is occupying one M2 slot making one HDD go offline, and occupying another one make TWO HDDs go away as well? I honestly have no idea where to start to troubleshoot this. Any suggestions?
