Odd issue, In my supermicro box I have a Star Tec 3 bay hot swap drive tray model #HSB320SATBK, only 2 bays work at a time.

I have tried flipping the sata and power cables but it don't matter still only 2 drives work at the same time. Nothing stands out in the logs.

Anyone have experience with Star Tec? I see mixed reviews online.

Found the issue to be error 18, that is the user 18 inches from the machine did not check all the cables properly.

At the same time I replaced the 600 watt power supply with a 300. Now my cpu and drives temps are averaging 31 & 29 vs 33 & 40. The power bill might see a drop too.
