I just got a couple of Western Digital 9.1 drives which for the first time ever I am trying to get installed and running. So far not so good.
They are 80 pin Ultra 2 drives so I have 2 adapters which fit ok on the drives They are both to be installed into a 7500 �
I got the old drives out but discovered on the lower Seagate Barracuda drive a green plug in plate I assume this was an adapter from 80pin to 50 pin
I installed the 2 Western Digital drives with their adapters and booted up from an external Lacie drive With the intention of formatting both drives with Silverlining from the external drive
Silverlining only found one drive on scsi ID 0 and when I went to format it I got the message there is a problem with the scsi chain integrity and went no further.
Well Ihave checked the connections and it all seems tight Could the connector or adapter from the old Seagate drive also be a terminator or something else as well as a connector or do Ihave a dead drive? I am asking this before I do endless testing just in case There is something obvious Ihave omitted Are there settings on these drives Ihave to set or something�
thanks for the thought
