Just to be save, mark down which drive is connected to which adapter, since Hexos is identify the adapter and not the drive behind it, it could lead to problems when you switch the drives and adapters around.

Hey, Are both SATA to USB adapters the same model from the same company? If yes, this could be the issue, since most USB devices are not properly providing the serial number of the drive but are using a generic one, which is the same for each model/company, but Hexos/Truenas relies on each drive having a different serial number. That's also the reason why most USB multi drive cases are not working.

When this Pocket NAS is ready for duty I intend to put it on four damping feet, to gain some extra height for more air to pass under the aluminium box. This to further help in heat dissipation. And they are so inconspicuous, as to be almost invisible, right 😉 Another reason is, I want to reduce potential vibration noice from the hidden fan inside, if that would rev up. These feet I borrowed from my HiFi nerd side, they are used for like CD-players or other ”boxes”with a weight between 2-5 kg. The green color is specific for this weight. My Pocket NAS is about 1,2 kg, but this would have to do. Now I must take a little break from this project for a couple of days. Over and out.

Update: that was the problem, thanks guys. Would never have got there on my own.

Yeah i think @PsychoWardsis likely spot on
