I’m using an old Norco RPC-4220 enclosure with two LSI 9211-8i cards and I’d like to purchase some WD HC550 drives but the ones I’m looking at have the power disable “feature”.
How can I use these drives in my enclosure?
I can’t use an molex-to-sata adapter with the drive bays and I definitely don’t want to modify the drives themselves.
The backplanes are powered by molex connectors so maybe it will just work as-is but I’m not sure?
I guess I can use kapton tape (or similar) but I’m either hoping they will work as-is or I can easily (?) modify my backplane to support them.
