    LSI 9271-8i and Intel RES2CV360

    Well i went and got myself 5 new harddrives but i need to remove one drive from "RAID-1" to be able to make a "RAID-2" because the 9271-8i only got 2 SFF-8087 on the card... just to backup the array (RAID-1) before adding the expander to the mix... is it possible???

    The drives was are not on the HCL list its a consumer drive. its soon done with the migration. I honestly can't find the info if the updates are for this drive.. to upgrade the firmware i have to take that drive out of the array and upgrade it and then re-add it right?

    I thought i had read it here :S It's being added right now.. will see in 35h. maybe i just got it all wrong but i thought that RAID systems wore really picky about firmware's and batches and stuff like that..

    First RAID5 ever.

    to do a speed test could i just change "Write policy: Write Through" & "Disk cache policy: Disabled" to "Write policy: Always Write Back" & "Disk cache policy: Enabled" I just got series on the array right now so no worries. I'm all about learning. :)

    would a BBU or a CacheVault (super capacitor and NAND Module) be a safety measure against a RAID crash? (yeah i know always have a backup..)

    ST3000DM001-1CH166 cc24 cc43 ?

    Seagate firmware page says that there is no update for my part model number. 1CH166 that's weird when there are drives that got CC24 and some that got CC43...

    i got a Raid 6 up and running now but i only got 3 disk in it right now. and i just cleaned out the 4th one so I'm adding that one to the Raid 6 in just a few minutes. feels great to finally gotten around and gotten my self a Raid controller and a bunch of disks..

    Honestly i don't have the money. So i will just hope it will go smooth. Its just movies and series..

    I have changed my mind... it will be a RAID6.

    Write policy: Always Write Back or Write policy: Write Through is the ones I'm mostly concerned about.. i have no clue what that one is about.. but also Read policy: Always Read Ahead like i said before i have no BBU or a CacheVault.
