PowerEdge T130 - SSD not found/failed, after reboot
Hi
Server PowerEdge T130
Reboot = SSD not detected/failed.
Shutdown and turn on again = SSD detected, works without a problem.
Tried other SSD's, same problem.
HDD's ether don't have this problem, or very rarely.
This is raid controller problem? It is broken? Or maybe I just need to change some setting?
Model of raid controller: PERC H330
No Events found!

What drives are you using? If you are using consumer drives, particularly entry-level drives like the EVO or cheap chinese makes, they may not properly communicate with the RAID controller, and you may consider bypassing the RAID controller anyway. The H330 is also a low-end controller that may not be as forgiving with the drives being used.

Procc,
The drives are not compatible, as they're not intended for use in servers. Kingston points this out near the bottom of the page for the KC600's, seen here. The KC600 is intended for laptop and desktop systems.

SSD's - Kingston KC600
To bypass raid controller, I would need to buy additional cables or hardware :||

Also not intended for servers. The "Pro" is intended to be a high-end desktop/laptop drive. Low-end controller may be your issue ... you could try an H730, but it may not be supported in the low-end T130. You could look at validated SSD's for the T130 (maybe Support here can help you with a list, if any; or one validated for another system that supports the H330 controller).
All in all, for this system, I would just bypass the controller, as it will not add any benefit to running with SSD.

All power to SSD's comes from cables connected to controller, or something like it.
If I'll try to connect for example SATA power extension cable, to controller cables, then to SSD, power will be provided to SSD?
And if I'll connect SSD to mainboard SATA port, it will work? As I see, motherboard has 2 sata ports, one blue - connected to DVD-rom, ant another white with nothing connected to it.
