Hey Chris, I've also posted a question with the same issue on another forum with more information and pictures there (https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/948045-dell-poweredge-r720-doesnt-detect-my-ssds). However a few years back when the server was still in operation it had no trouble with the Samsung 750 Evos. I also mentioned that during boot up, when it offers to press control R to enter the configuration utility for the raid controller, it doesn't respond and then after a few minutes, it shows an "adapter at baseport not responding" and then "no adapter" message, therefore I have huge suspicions that the raid card is the main issue at hand, which several others have reinforced my suspicions. Someone also suggested that I get a dell perc h710 in place of the current (possibly dead) dell perc s110 in the server, where would I find such a thing and how much would it cost?
P.S I think I have also tried running the server with all drives removed, it pretty much just says something along the lines of "drive 3 was removed from bay 1" on the LED screen, so I still think the issue lies within the raid controller but I am not a hundred percent certain until I take them out individually and test if they work.
Ok, a couple things to start. I would take a look at the drives, as the 750 evos are not listed as supported in the server. I would suggest removing them for the time being to see if we can get the raid controller working properly. Remove the drives and restart and see if the controller starts normally, and is accessible. If so then the issue is likely just from the drives.
Also on a side note the 2000-0141 is a drive missing error.

Let me know what you see.
