    ARECA Owner's Thread (SAS/SATA RAID Cards)

    Seems easy. Alright, perfect. Will do it in two days when new unit arrives. I will contact areca and chenbro though, to understand why it won't show through SES2.. Regarding the hardware information, I saw there is I2C protocol in both areca and chenbro expander, could this be a potential...

    ARECA Owner's Thread (SAS/SATA RAID Cards)

    Running 1.52 too. So I guess there's no way to monitor this kind of information. The other day I found the fan broke in the Chenbro. It was really hot and this scared me. In two weeks I'll update to the latest 2019 firmware, but first I'm fixing a Degraded RaidSet. I suppose I only need to...

    ARECA Owner's Thread (SAS/SATA RAID Cards)

    Does anyone with a 1880i can confirm if fan speed is reported ?? I can't find that info... Also, I am using a Chenbro expander, but no hardware info is reported. Do I need a special I2C cable, or that info should be reported through the sff8087 ?

    ARECA Owner's Thread (SAS/SATA RAID Cards)

    I'm pairing a ARC-1880i with a Chenbro SAS CK23601. How can I pass the drives, temperatures, and all the info from the expander to the Areca? Is it through the I2C connector? If it is, is there any special connector to link between the Areca (8 pin) to the Chenbro (4 pin) ?? They are connected...

    Any Cloud Storage Service ?

    Europe. I have relatively fast (100-200 Mbps) connection to the main European Internet hubs, like London/Paris/Amsterdam/Frankfurt. After a small analysis of Amazon it actually looks like the one that offers better price per storage. I read a little bit about the service and I'm only a bit...

    Any Cloud Storage Service ?

    Hi everyone. I am in search of some cloud storage service which gives a good price. I would be happy with basic SFTP or SSH access to Upload/Download the files. It would need to have at least 12TB. Basically I would like it to work as remote storage. The services I found online only work as...

    [How To] Tape Drive + WHS

    So I could for example try to backup 1TB of "pure" data into the Tape? The thing is, I have no idea what will be the final result :p How can one know if it is too much data to be backed up ? At least with EaseUS backup I was being told that I had around 800GB free, but then I had no idea during...

    [How To] Tape Drive + WHS

    Finally I received the LSI 9217-4i4e and attached my tape drive to it. It is now being recognized by WHS. I tried Easeus backup advanced server as a tape backup software. (Couldn't find anything better for windows) But now there's something I still don't understand. First, I am already able to...

    [How To] Tape Drive + WHS

    I'm still not sure about which software could be used. (also I'm using 2008R2) In any case I was trying to check on "easeus backup" since I've read that it supports tape backup, but quickly found out that I needed the mentioned SAS HBA to support the tape drive. Now, I'm ordering a graphics...

    [How To] Tape Drive + WHS

    Hello Everyone, I bought a HP StorageWorks Ultrium 1760 LTO4 Tape Drive with external SFF8088 and a few LTO4 tapes. I pretend to do backups to my 12TB share and keep them on these tapes in a separated physical location. I though it would be possible to connect the tape drive to my Areca 1880i...

    File Integrity @ WHS 2011

    I came from WHSv1 into 2011 because of the redundancy reason. I started by using 3 or 4 disks with the Drive Extender, and quickly realized that it offers no security to my data. After loosing 1 HDD and every file that was inside, I stepped up to a raid6 with whs2011. But now, I would still...

    File Integrity @ WHS 2011

    Hi all, I'm interested in knowing a little bit more about file integrity with Windows systems. I have a WHS2011 with 16TB in Raid6, I don't feel any problems with loosing data since I am running Raid6 and will also start to make monthly (enough for me) backups to LTO5 Tape. I am curious...

    Case for JBOD/DAS + Remote "turn on" PSU

    Hello everyone. I am in search of a case, near mid-tower size to handle at least 15HDD for a DAS/JBOD. The cheapest options I found are based on those 9-bay DVD Duplicators. I woud then use 3x (3x5.25 to 5x3.5) backplanes to hold 15 HDDs. Output would be from a HP SAS Expander to an Areca 1880...
