Attempting to build the NAS perk using these parts:
- Fan: ARCTIC F8 - 80 mm Standard Low Noise Case Fan - Black/silver - Fluid Dynamic Bearing - Innovative Design
- HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2T (st32000542as); operational because I removed them from my QNAP NAS
- SATA controller: Mini PCI-E to SATA 3 Expansion Card for Hard Drive - Green
- Power: 2.54mm 5-Pin Female to 2x SATA + 3-Pin Fan Power Cable Adapter
Good news:
- Pins on the board have the specified voltage
- Fan operates
Bad news:
- HDDs won’t spin
Should the HDDs operate *just connected to the power cables? Do I need to enable the SATA controller or install a package?
