While there seem to be many threads like it, this one is mine.
I completed a new build for TrueNAS Core today, I have not used the product before and am more of a Network than Storage guy, so bear with my ignorance. My hardware is below:
Motherboard - Topton N5105 NAS Motherboard
CPU - Intel Celeron N5105 (Integrated)
Memory - Crucial 32GB DDR4 3200MHz CL22 (2x16GB)
Case - JONSBO N1
Power Supply - SilverStone Technology 450W SFX PSU
Boot Drive - PNY CS1030 250GB M.2 NVMe
SATA Drives - HGST WD Ultrastar DC HC510 10TB 7200RPM (4 of these, I also put in a random Drive from an old PC as a test)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As I said, I completed the physical build and TrueNAS Core installation this evening. Everything worked fine, I was able to get it the NAS an IP Address and can reach it from my main PC without issue. The only problem is none of the SATA Drives are seen, nor were they during installation (only the NVMe Drive was seen then). This is from the Storage > Pool and Storage > Disks menus.
Four of the Drives are brand new (well refurbished, but otherwise) and the other is a non-matching, used Drive. I have altered no BIOS Settings, only installed the OS. As far as I know all the cabling is tight/correct, I am unaware of any additional settings for the Drives or MoBo that may be needed but that being said I did get the build from an article.
My assumption is I set something up wrongly in the Hardware or OS as I doubt four (or five) Drives would be bad. No other issues with the build, USB/HDMI work fine and all that. Happy to T/S, just not sure where to start as the Documentation didn't cover the Drives not being seen. :P
