These workstation connections don't recognize hard drives.
Hello, I need assistance with my project. My job required assembling a workstation. The build proceeded smoothly; I can upload everything and view all devices except the HDDs connected to the built-in Slim SAS ports on the motherboard. Here are the specifications: a CPU from Intel XEON W7-3465X, ASUS Pro WS W790 SAGE SE Intel LGA 4677 motherboard, 256 GB DDR5 ECC RAM, two 2TB Samsung 980 Pro NVMe drives, five 18TB Seagate EXOS SATA drives at 7200rpm, and an RTX 3070 GPU. The only way to see the drives is by connecting them via SATA and enabling RAID. I also bought a VROC key for RAID setup on the CPU cables used to link the drives to the Slim SAS port: [link].
The compatibility restrictions depend on your specific setup and the PCIe version you're using. Check the manual for details on supported configurations and ensure your SATA drives match the required interface standards.
