mrjpaxton Posted October 3 Posted October 3 Hey, Quick question, can I use HDDs that have the pin-3 SATA "power disable" feature with the Kobol NAS, or should I steer completely clear of them? 0 Quote
mrjpaxton Posted October 3 Author Posted October 3 Okay, I started looking around some more. So it's a feature that's in the SATA 3.3 standard - https://documents.westerndigital.com/content/dam/doc-library/en_us/assets/public/western-digital/collateral/tech-brief/tech-brief-western-digital-power-disable-pin.pdf But according to these schematics - https://wiki.kobol.io/helios64/files/schematics/Helios64_Schematics_Rev1.2.pdf It uses SATA 3.0, so my most likely guess is that it will not work right. 0 Quote
prahal Posted December 10 Posted December 10 I believe it is supported https://wiki.kobol.io/helios64/hardware/ in the comments Quote Gauthier Admin Utilisateur 4 years ago edited Which drive are you referring to ? The SATA 3.3V pins aren't power and neither connected, which is the best approach to support new 4Kn drives with their Pin 3 (Power Disable Pin). Yes HDD are hot-pluggable. 0 Quote
