    Broken Raid5

    I have a Raid5 array with 7 x 2TB HDD. One drive failed and the raid started to rebuild. At 41%, it jamed and there was a timeout error count to 1 on one drive. If I change that drive, the raid won't rebuild. Instead, it show the Raid with one missing drive. Any idea?

    Areca 1880ix-24 keeps disappearing

    I have some WD black on my adaptec and they work fine, I even ask adaptec before buying them. I didn't ask Areca for the WD Green. I was told by several people to not bother buying WD raid... I guess they were wrong. I'll change them with time!

    Areca 1880ix-24 keeps disappearing

    Yes volumes on the adaptec are fine. I'll try changing the cable between the expander and the areca to see if it helps. Why would some HDD like WD would be incompatible ? It is not like its an unknown company.

    I have an areca 1880ix-24 running with windows server 2008 R2. Firmware and bootrom is 1.49. For some reason and at random times, all the volumes disappears. When I log to the web interface, it is like the card is empty, no more HDDs. I need to reboot to make it work again. Anyone ever...

    Chenbro RM91250-R1620G

    On the Chenbro website, it says that the B/P supports SAS/SATA II drives. If I use it with an ARECA 1880ix-24 ports, Can I use SATA III drives ?

    HP SAS Expander Owner's Thread

    I already have an Adaptec 52445. Sas expander is for the future. I'll be good with two Raid cards for the moment. I'll have a 50 bay case + 24 bay.

    HP SAS Expander Owner's Thread

    I ordered a second Adaptec 52445 about 2 months ago but it is still BO. I will probably cancel my order. What is the best 24 internal ports that can go with the sas expander ? The ARECA ARC-1880-ix-24 ? Also, anyone had issue with two different Raid cards in one computer ?
