Hello my friends,
perhaps I can get answer here faster than anywhere. I have small TrueNAS box. Inside I have put Adaptec ASR-71605 controller, configured in HBA mode. Now I have connected to it 6 drives, all 6TB SATA drives. They are visible and all working perfectly. Now I wanted to add additional disk to be used for cache. I have bought Huawei Enterprise SSD: Huawei ES3000 V5 SAS SSD (https://support.huawei.com/enterprise/en/doc/EDOC1100030818/a2b8a6cc/es3600s-v5-specifications). I have bought this cable: SFF-8643 to SFF 8639 Cable, 12Gbps Mini SAS HD Cable, Internal Mini SAS SFF 8643 to U.2 SFF 8639 Cable with 15Pin SATA Power Socket (CableCreation SFF-8643 to SFF 8639 Cable, 12Gbps Mini SAS HD Cable, Internal Mini SAS SFF 8643 to U.2 SFF 8639 Cable with 15Pin SATA Power Socket 50cm 3.3ft https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07D8NCSXM...t_i_A4PZHENPMW9XFKMMXP1B?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1)
Now I got everything connected, the SATA power, the SAS3.0 connector to drive, fist perfectly, the SFF on the Adaptec, all clicked. I have checked power cable, it is working. BUT - Adaptec is not detecting drive. Now is that due to Adaptec not supporting this kind of drive or this kind of connection or the cable is just plain bad. Any thought on this? Anyone with similar or even same issues? Any idea how to proceed? Different cable? Different controller? I really want to use this disk as it is quite a little performer. Thank you in advance, appreciate it!
