I have a Dell Poweredge 2900 server that was recently updated to Windows Server 2012. I have several open HDD bays and I added a WD Purple 4TB drive i an open bay for CCTV recordings. I could not get the server to recognize the drive at all in disk management. But, when I removed the drive, I got an error on the small LCD display that the HDD in bay 4 was removed. I put the HDD in an external HDD dock and connected via USB and the drive pops up instantly and is available for use.
Is there a reason I can't get the drive to work using the available HDD bay? It is a SATA drive and all other drives in the server are all SATA. I thought maybe there was a size limit or something but I can't find any limitations for Server 2012.
