Using legacy Supermicro server MB, 8GB RAM, 2 identical 4TB and 2 identical 500GB drives and an SSD 128G boot drive. Install went fine from CD. Under Storage - Disks all 4 drives show but when creating Pool only the 2 4TB show as available. Went ahead and created my pool on those, installed the Plex plugin no problem. Decided to just pull the 500G's but when I did my pool is gone!!! Put them back and pool reappears??? Since I can't seem to remove the the 500G's w/o losing 3 days populating the 4TB pool again how can I create a 2nd pool if they don't show???

Are there partitions with data, e.g. a previous Windows installation on these disks? If they show in camcontrol devlist, you could wipe all partitions with gpart - they should show up afterwards.
