Perc s300 not detecting drives

Hi,

Thanks for looking into that for me. Would the drives work on a PERC H200? we have another server with this board in.

Otherwise would I be better getting 4 drives that will work, or replacing the RAID card with one that supports this drive speed?

Similar issue here.  When I go into the s300 bios I show no drives at all.  This was after a reboot of a raid 5 4 disk array that has been running Windows Server 2008 for a few years.  I ran a Rescan and it came up with nothing.  Oddly, when I run the dell system diagnostics quick test, it runs through confidence tests on all 4 drives testing blocks for each.  So somehow the diagnostic utility can see the drives that are hooked to the s300 but the s300 itself doesn't appear to be able to find them.  I re-seated the cables on all 4 drives and the controller.  I realize I am replying to a very old post but am hoping someone has some info on this similar issue.

Update, after the diagnostic test finished I went back into the S300 controller and can now see information about the drives.  Doesn't look great..  I am attaching images of what I am seeing.  I was able to boot into Windows after I left the s300 bios.  I am a bit confused as to the configuration of the raid and the volume sizing.  The machine has 4 2TB drives installed.  The s300 appears to see 3 physical drives.  It shows a raid 5 1.9TB degraded and a nonraid 1.8 failed.  In windows there is a 150GB C: drive and a 1.85TB E: drive.  The only device in device manager under disk drives is "Perc s100/300 SCSI".  So it looks like the C: and E: were both carved out of the raid 5.  My quesition now is how do I tell in the s300 bios what needs to be fixed to make the raid 5 happy?  It looks like a drive has failed as it doesn't show up in the s300 bios but the physical disks show as ready/online/online.  I may be rambling a bit here but just trying to wrap my head around this.
