" rel="nofollow - hello does the deskmini support 3.5" hard drives? I tried to attach a 3.5" HGST 5tb from another machine... it does not spin up and is not recognized by the OS or BIOS/UEFI The sata ports do work when i attach a SSD, so that isnt the issue. Does the deskmini not support 3.5" drives? not enough power or something? thanks for any help! |

| Would think there is not enough power and also no 12V that is required by 3.5.HDDs |

As said above, only 2.5" HDDs and SSDs are supported, that is stated in the manual: http://asrock.pc.cdn.bitgravity.com/Manual/DeskMini%20110%20Series.pdf" rel="nofollow - http://asrock.pc.cdn.bitgravity.com/Manual/DeskMini%20110%20Series.pdf The DeskMini board itself supplies power to everything connected to it, including two SATA 2.5" drives. That power is regulated down from the +19V input supply. The on board power regulation is not large enough to supply +12V to a 3.5" HDD. Plus a 3.5" HDD cannot fit in the DeskMini 110 case, so no point in supporting them. 99.9% of 2.5" SATA SSDs only use the +5V power rail, as well a most modern 2.5" HDDs, designed to work in laptop PCs. ------------- http://valid.x86.fr/48rujh" rel="nofollow">
