I have been trying for several days now to resolve this issue and have yet to figure it out. I finally outgrew my Netgear ReadyNAS box and am taking my 4x 4TB red WD Nas drives and building a new PC that hopefully will have FreeNAS on it for mainly Plex use. The issue I am having is that my Gigabyte board does not see these hard drives unless Windows is installed on a given machine.
For example, those 4 drives are on a board right now and the Bios, no FreeNAS, see them. I can plug them into one of my other PC's and it sees them immediately via Windows and Bios, including other Gigabyte boards that are older than the one I have now. The board they are on now that isn't seeing them previously had Windows installed on a SSD drive and it did see all the drives when I tried a bit earlier today. It just doesn't add up why it won't see them.
I have verified I have the most current Bios and sent inquiries to Gigabyte but haven't heard back. Any help is greatly appreciated.
