So idealy, I should try to find another 10 TB hard drive that doesn't specify NAS specifications, to avoid this power disable feature?  Is that what you're getting at / my understanding?

I ask because I'm honestly trying to figure this out and reduce headaches for myself in the future (this entire thing has been a wicked curve ball).  So any help / tid bit of information is greatly appreciated.

u can keep this one, just diconnect 3.3v line (should be orange)


on this picture u can see 5 pin cable (12v/gnd/5v/gnd/3.3v)
feel free to cut orange 3.3v, its not used by any device and isolate it
or get molex to sata adapter, which is almost free + shipping :P

as for that feature...hmm its handy if harddrive freezes for some reason, so u just reset that drive through software (even from phone), instead of teh need to open your nas drive rack (which can be hassle if its server rack)
but without supported rack/case its useless anyway

In efforts to keep the thread from being polluted by that image, i removed it from the quote.  Yes, i read about that in my quick research.  Instead of cutting it, i'd try to remove the cable plug entirely from the sata cable connection bracket there. I also have a molex to sata adaptor somewhere, it just depends on which i'd rather do. 

Once home and i have a few minutes, I'll get on this to see how everything plays out.  Thumbs Up

Interesting but good news. 

So i tried a test with the 10TB hard drive with another computer.  For whatever reason, it fired right up without a hitch.

BUT, given the information here about the orange wire and the PSU, my PSU is a legacy PSU. Once I disconnected (a pair of plyers and it all but jumped out), the machine started up without a hitch.

I then tested it in the WIP system with the Corsair; same deal. worked flawlessly. 

Thank you to all who contributed!
