Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
old question, new answer.
if you have gen2 hgst-unit, you need sff-8644 to sff-8644 cable. it will work at 12gbps speed.
if you have gen1 hgst-unit, you need qsfp+ (sff-8436) to sff-8644 or sff-8088.
either way, your card can be in IT mode or raid mode.
but, your hdd's are not recognized...
actually the board manufacturers should have to develop new mainboards specific for 2nd gen threadrippers.
yes, they have same socket as 1st gen. but many ppl have issue's with 2nd gen TR on mainboards for 1st gen. and i am not talking about bios, but about hardware-issues
i didnt read the artice on anadtech, but i want to make a note about sockets....if you can avoid foxconn sockets, some ppl have troubles screwing the cpu in the foxconn-socket. Lotes-socket is the better one
i would prefer this case in sted of norco because of short depth, if you use this case only as storage or jbod case. norco is better because you can put motherboard in it
now another question. has anyone replaced the fan of psu with alternative model? this little thingy of 40x40x28mm fan is...
little update about hard disks.
i putted 4 hdd of each 10 tb and all are recognized as it should be. 4 times 9,09Tib disks. my next step is buying license of drivepool from stablebit so i can use it with snapraid
yep, this one is also an option. but...it occupies 2 pcie slots. and that is very big disadvantage for me. i am looking for 1 slot solutions. found enzo technology website. looking at there
i found from somewhere else this link

specially is SLF-serie nice one to find. very hard to find european reseller for SLF-serie
nice thing about thic case that it is recognizing my 10tb hdd. i only tried with 1 hdd of 10tb. but i assume putting 16x hdd of 10tb each (160tb raw) wouldn't be problem.
my next search is replacing the fan of psu. that little thing makes more noise than 2 scynthe ultra kaze 3000rpms together...
my other modifications:
replacing 80x38mm back fans with 120x38mm fans. i cut out backpanel for new fans. not nice cut-out but it is functional and working.
i took a 4 pin y-spliiter. took off male-connectors from plastic houseing, squeezed molex-male-terminals to fit into 4 pin atx houseing. now i have 2 female molex 4 pin connectors to power up sas expander (intel res2sv240 or chenbro ck22803)
