So am I correct in assuming that you are not using the power supplied directly from the board? If you are using a separate power supply (outside of a case) have you jumped the pins to make it turn on ? Again, 12V is not what you need for your HDDs. Sorry, I don't know why you are having these issues.(03-21-2019, 04:51 PM)larsgn Wrote:(03-21-2019, 03:02 PM)z4v4l Wrote: I might be wrong, but 3.5'' disks need 12 V power to spin up. Are you sure, you provide it? For example the power cable in the Pine64 store has as output only 5 V, thus it's for 2.5'' hdds and ssds.
I feel really stupid right now, how could I've missed this. So obvious, thanks for pointing out!
Added a seperate picopsu to provide 12v to the 3.5" disk, still no luck.
The behaviour is the exact same.
