Dude, I am no electrical engineer or a physicist. This shit really isn't part of general household tools. I only know it's a weird box with weird lines on a display some weird people can read from, that's it.

are you sure that when the male and female molex's are connected that no pins are pushed back ?
Put the whole lot in a box and DHL it to me in the Uk
)THIS WAS IT!!!!
I didn't think about such possibility because it made no sense, but now the disks are spinning.
Let's see if they are identified too.

So what is different now compared to the start of this saga ?
Well, after the initial failure to start, I was messing around with the pins3 and tape and whatnot, but I never connected the SAS cable to the HBA after that.
I will return the cable I bought from Amazon (that would be a pain in the arse with shipping, but it's still worth it) and buy one with molex connectors instead of SATA, because I don't like to connect several cables together.
But seriously, why the hell isn't there a cable with SATA connectors with that damn pin3 disabled or something?
Molex should have been dead for 15 years at least by now.
