2.5" SSDs in ICYDOCK no appearing in HexOS? Please assist

[imNotOriginal]

I have this guy and I bought a mini-SAS to Sata spliter for the back of the ICY Dock to the MB (MB is consumer grade, is this my issue?)- these drives are not appearing in BIOS either. The Drives came out of a series of Proxmox machines I was playing around with so I know they work.

What is the MB you are using ?? It could be me but I always try and use a SAS card vs on board headers for any thing data related

Do you have a SAS card recommendation? I have one that I got when purchasing a machine on FB Marketplace but it dosent work due to it being a MegaRaid card or something like that - here is the card in question.

It appears This is the card that will work for you. It seems the card you have won't even take a custom flash for HBA mode

Thank you, I will take a look. As for my card, that was what I saw when diving into the TrueNAS forums and Reddit.

The Card in question is a 9361-8i, adding this for search-ability on the forum, just in case

This guy arrived earlier today and just works. I love when things just work and didn't need a bunch of configurations.

 

This pool was created before I got the card.

@ubergeek Thank you!
