Vicious Sadic Posted Wednesday at 11:22 PM Posted Wednesday at 11:22 PM I have a Dell PowerEdge r730xd the OS starts but will not detect my drives. 4 - 1TB WD Blue HDDs What am I doing wrong. Ive initilized them and put on a base partition and nothing else. Ive tried NTFS and exFAT. Neither work. Quote

PsychoWards Posted Thursday at 12:15 AM Posted Thursday at 12:15 AM Can you please also post more details on your HDDs? Those might be SMR drives which will likely cause a lot of (performance) issues in the future. Quote
