nweibel Posted January 8, 2017 #1 Posted January 8, 2017 Hello, I am needing help with an issue i have run into after building my XPEnology box. I have 6 SATA drives in my box, 2 show up as SATA in the BIOS and 4 show up as AHCI in the BIOS. When i am trying to create a new volume in DSM i am only seeing the 4 SATA hard drives that show up as AHCI. Can someone explain how i can get all 6 drives to work with XPEnology? Parts List Lian LI PC-Q25B ASRock FM2A85X-ITX AMD A4-5300 Corsair ValueSelect 4GB 6 HGST Deskstar NAS 3.5 4TB Hard Drives Thanks Quote
nweibel Posted January 10, 2017 Author #2 Posted January 10, 2017 I am not sure if Xpenology is just not mounting the other two drives or not. But if someone could explain how to look for this and how to mount the drives that would be helpful. Thanks Quote

nweibel Posted January 11, 2017 Author #4 Posted January 11, 2017 I did try and change the two drive to AHCI but it would not allow me to change them. What is odd is when i was using this same setup as a Freenas box it could see all 6 drives just fine. Quote

If these 2 disk act as a raid you must create a volume on the mainboard raid controller and than the volume will be visible as drive in xpenology. Raid = create raid on MB use the volume in DSM AHCI = DSM control's all Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
nweibel Posted January 11, 2017 Author #6 Posted January 11, 2017 Mmmm. I am sure that the Raid controller on the MB is turned off. I am not sure how i can get all 6 drives to show up as AHCI. Quote
sbv3000 Posted January 16, 2017 #7 Posted January 16, 2017 have you tried all the sata ports to see if the drives appear on them and or also setting sata mode to ide Quote
