Currently there is one 8TB HDD connected to the HBA and one to the mainboards sata connector (which is listed properly)

Do you know that the controller is good, i.e. not defective? How exactly is the disk connected (did you perhaps accidentally buy a reverse breakout cable instead of a forward breakout cable)? What happens on bare metal? What about a different OS?

My bad, i should have put my update below :)

but thanks for your help
