Doesn’t seem to be the case.
- I’ve used all kinds of shucked drives in this server without a single one needing a 3.3v modification
- Most posts seem to indicate that the use of a backplane will negate the need for 3.3v modification (which the r510 has - at least, my 12-bay does)
- The drives spin up, which from what I can tell online, they would not do if there was 3.3v on the reset pin
