toptenandrew Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Hey guys, just trying to find a completely solid yes or no on this question, not just guesses/maybes. I know that getting into the terminal of a Barracuda drive is possible and actually relatively easy, as I have done it. However, is it possible to also get into the terminal using the same methods for a Cheetah SAS drive (ST3450856SS)? I have tried using the same adapter that I used for my SATA drive, but I get no response when I open putty, not even a command prompt, just black screen. Have done a loopback test so I know the adapter is working fine. Is the TX-RX pinout different on the rear of an SAS drive than on a SATA drive? Different baud rates? Or something else altogether? I have also seen posts about having to jump pins on the PCB in order to get terminal to work. Could this have something to do with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
