I've just built a system with a HighPoint 2720 RAID controller. Everything appears to be OK, except that the controller doesn't see any of my drives - the RAID BIOS displays "ERROR. No Suitable disks". I have tried a WD SATA, Seagate SATA, and OCZ Vertex 3 SATA. I am using MiniSAS to 4x SATA breakout cables.

How do I get this working? I've tried to sign up for HighPoint support, but their support site doesn't appear to be functioning correctly.

UPDATE: SOLVED - Vendor supplied us with Reverse Breakout cables instead of the Forward Breakout cables that we ordered.

Switch the raid controller to pass throught mode and do software raid. It is not worth the trouble if it does not work out-of-the-box. Of course this onlu works with linux. I just realized you did not tell what kind of OS do you use.

This is a Windows system, so unfortunately it doesn't sound like this solution will help. – Satellite Jun 26 '11 at 1:50
