    Caviar Black (WD1001FALS) Crossflash -> RE3 firmware. Success... Sort of.

    How come he was able to flash it with just changing the header? Shouldn't this error occur for every drive since the file sizes dont add up with a multiple of 512? Perhaps this was an older version of hdparm? Anyone want to provide some feedback?

    Caviar Black (WD1001FALS) Crossflash -> RE3 firmware. Success... Sort of.

    I tried on a 2TB WD2002FYPS and the message I got was 5G08.df file size (2065172) is not a multiple of 512... any help trying to get it to a multiple of 512?

    Caviar Black (WD1001FALS) Crossflash -> RE3 firmware. Success... Sort of.

    KrisB, Hang tight. I just got around to doing this. I ordered a test drive so I can burn it if need be. I'm going to do this on Monday and see if I can be successful. I have an MD3000i thats laying around because I refuse to pay Dell's rediculous prices for a "certified" drive.

    Caviar Black (WD1001FALS) Crossflash -> RE3 firmware. Success... Sort of.

    I'd like to give this a shot. After all I have a MD3000i sitting there because I refuse to purchase Dell certified drives. To my knowledge it does a firmware check to check if the firmware is compatible. If I do this, I'll share my results.

    Caviar Black (WD1001FALS) Crossflash -> RE3 firmware. Success... Sort of.

    Do you think it is possible to flash Dell's hard drive firmware to a normal consumer drive of the same type? The MD3000i only will accept hard drives that are "Dell Certifiied" so for example flash the Dell 500GB SATA RE4 firmware to a WD 500GB SATA RE4? I have a drive I can brick and would...

    In my case, the ECC was turned off. It just didn't like it at 1600mhz.

    Crosshair V Problems / Bugs / Other Things / *READ BEFORE YOU BUY*

    Gentlemen, As promised the results of my RAM testing with the GBXL is as follows: Although I have not attempted to do the stock 1866mhz on the set, I can 100% confirm that the GBXL works flawlessly @ 1600mhz 9-9-9-24 (1866 timings are 9-10-9-28). Memtest passes perfectly. Now could it be...

    Raja / Gary, My apologies that I haven't got to it this week yet, my dual Opteron Tyan motherboard decided it didn't want to post anymore at work. Hence, my last week has been spent dealing with work related issues. I will provide the screenshots, I'll have to put them up somewhere unless...

    Gigabyte 990FXA-UD7 Motherboard Review @ [H]

    Dan_D, I'll agree with that statement. I'm sure Gigabyte/Asus/Etc. isn't testing their flagship bulldozer gaming board for RAID card compatability lol :) And correct, all PCIe slots do conform to the same standard, and thus should be backwards compatible (plugging 8x card in a 16x slot)...

    Gigabyte 990FXA-UD7 Motherboard Review @ [H]

    Good thing we aren't all the same, we'd all be robots :) I guess perhaps I didn't clarify, and maybe I should. I had a tyan server motherboard fail a couple days ago which was running my organization's hyper-v. Its a dual opteron 6100 board. I had two raid controllers which were splitting...

    Gigabyte 990FXA-UD7 Motherboard Review @ [H]

    Typical Gigabyte hating crap. I should do a counter-review. This board just bailed me out of a bad Tyan server motherboard. Their 8x PCIe slots actually work as they have been designed to. Not just for video cards, but for peripherals as well like my LSI Raid 9261. Oh as far the keyboard...

    Just for note, my set is the F3-12800CL9Q-16GBRL I'm not sure what the difference is between the 16GBRL (what I have) and the 8GBXL (what you have)... I'll get those screenshots to you.

    Raja, From G.Skill Tech support. I found this while prowling newegg reviews on memory. Manufacturer Response: . Dear Customer To set up DDR3-1600+ on AMD systems, there is a certain way to configure BIOS. If you simply change DRAM Frequency to DDR3-1600, that may not be fully stable...
