Dell SC1425 and large (750GB) SATA drive not seen

[Pascal Robinet]

Hello Steve,

did you test them on another computer ?

Best way to get sure of the drives defects or not.

If both are faulty, then you could give a try to play some luck game for
money, you are on the unlikely side of things ! :)
