I’ve been using Seagate Exos X18 for years without issues from serverpartdeals. But this Dell branded Exos X16 just clicks about 20 times after it spins up and never shows in the device list.

Is this drive in need of the Kapton tape 3rd pin fix, or do I have a bad drive? I ordered some Kapton tape from Amazon and it’ll be here Tuesday.

Ps I tried scotch tape but it didn’t work. It’s clear so I couldn’t tell if I got full cover over the pin.
