My NAS was running hot so I decided to move disks to another case. I got 4 (ordered 1) LSI SAS 9201-16e:

One was DOA - Bios not found. I upgraded the other three from FW version 9.00 to 20.00.04.00 including the NVDATA 14.01.00.07 using DOS technique. The boards post normally AFAIK. I bought a lot of 6 SATA SFF-8088 fan cables:

It is my understanding that the LSI 9201 is compatible with SATA drives. My problem is that NONE of my SATA disks are found by the controller. I have tried two computers (my NAS and the old box I flashed the controllers with) all six cables and a total of 23 drives. I don't have a SAS drive or a different make of cable to test. I inserted the cables until they clicked as best as I could.
I am clearly doing something wrong or have bad hardware (defective cables x 6, bad adapters or bios x3.) Please help and advise!
