[Help] D8 Hybrid HDDs Not Recognized When Connected to BeeLink ME Mini [SOLVED]

[ChrisG8991]

I got a BeeLink ME Mini to run ZimaOS and serve as my primary NAS for SSDs, and wanted to connect my Terramaster D8 Hybrid to it to have the BeeLink also control RAID on the 4 hard drive bays. However, the hard drives are unable to be raidedin ZimaOS, and only bay 3 and 4 are recognized as being connected at all, regardless of how the hardware raid for bays 1 and 2 are set on the D8 Hybrid. Has anybody else tried this, or a similar combo, and gotten it to work? This may be more of a question on the BeeLink or Zima side, but I figured I'd try here first.

Hello!
Since the HDD1/2 slots of the D8 Hybrid product natively support hardware RAID functionality, compatibility issues may arise when using third-party software to create a RAID. Therefore, it is recommended that you use the HDD3/4 slots or M.2 slots to create a third-party software-based RAID.

Just a follow up to this for anybody who may have a similar issue:
I swapped to TrueNAS, and the Terramaster D8 Hybrid worked immediately. So for anybody with this hardware combo, I would highly recommend TrueNAS (set the Terramaster's hardware RAID to "Single").
