R430 picky about drives? (alien.top)

I have a recently acquired DELL R430 curently with a single Intel DC3520 SSD. I wanted to add some additional disks, but none of them are detected by the operating system. The server has a Perc H330 in HBA mode.

An old Seagate 80 GB laptop drive that works when connected to my desktop - top light on caddy is on (same as with the current intel SSD), i can hear the disk spinning up, but not detected in the HBA settings.
Two Samsung SAS SSDs drives from ebay (MZ-ILS1T6N, EMC P/N: 118000301) - are detected by the Perc but with some strange values - note the (0KB) in the title. on the caddy both lights are on

Am I missing something or are these drives simply not compatible with the R430?

The SAS drives have some strange connector on the front - any idea what is that? (i suspect some proprietary EMC caddy connector?)
