    Seagate SAS in SM JBOD - lots of read errors (anyone else?)

    Try playing with the -d flags for smartmontools, maybe you can force it into SAT mode, or try forcing an ATA command (hoping the JBOD has passthrough of those), that may net you more information.

    Staggered spin-up : M1015 / LSI 9201-16i

    It also depends on if you're powering your disks from a backplane or not. All standard SATA power connectors (from your PSU) will ground pin 11. This will more or less make sure they DON'T stagger. Most backplanes will leave Pin 11 floating or high, which will indicate to the drive that it...

    Supermicro backplane and mysterious HDD activity leds

    There are a lot of "vendor specific" comments in the SATA specification with regards to activity lights and staggered spin-up. If I'm reading it correctly it can either support staggered spin-up OR activity indication, however that doesn't make much sense and I doubt anyone follows that...

    Supermicro backplane and mysterious HDD activity leds

    They mean Pin 11 on the SATA POWER connector, not the DATA connector. Pin 11 is an interesting pin. It is commonly used to manage staggered spin-up of drives in backplanes. (Not all though, some drives support it by commands only, and some don't support it at all). If pin 11 is high or...

    IBM M1015 in IT Mode - Drive spin down

    Ah, I just realized that its an LSI 9220-8i flashed to IT firmware, although it should effectively be an IBM m1015? Maybe there are minor differences? It is also attached to an HP port expander. mpslsi0: <LSI SAS2008> port 0x6000-0x60ff mem 0xd2600000-0xd2603fff,0xd2640000-0xd267ffff irq 16 at...

    IBM M1015 in IT Mode - Drive spin down

    I run FreeBSD and use this script i found somewhere as a daemon: http://pastebin.com/AwAiTK2P It basically forces a spindown using camcontrol after X minutes. Works for me, but I had to make sure any "status reporting" script that uses smartctl uses the "-n standby" flag in order not to wake...

    Sure, doesn't matter to me - end result is the same, no file for me :) Found it somewhere else, consider this closed.

    IBM M1015, sas2flash.efi.. anyone got it? :)

    Hi Trying to flash my IBM M1015.. unfortunately my motherboard requires me to use the EFI version of the flash utility. Tried to download it from LSI... zip file downloads fine, but the efi flash utility is replaced by a text file saying this: FILE QUARANTINED Microsoft Forefront...

    *Official* Norco data storage products thread

    I got a CTM-1042SAS (4x 2.5" in a 5.25" slot) and stuck it to the left side and bottom of the case (inside) next to my mobo, with doublesided tape. Its not going anywhere. Mounted it 2cm from the rear end of the case so I can still plug in the SATA cables and I can access the hotswap trays...

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

    Have an ARC-1280ML... need some new drives, but unfortunately the Hitachi 5K3000's are out the question... they're either not available or twice as expensive as anything else here in Sweden. Usage is media storage and RAID-5 or RAID-6. Have these choices: WD Caviar Green 2TB - WD20EARX Seagate...

    Powersupply with decent 5v rail?

    That could work... the AC connection is a bit dangerous though.. totally exposed screws :( The other external thing only has 2A on 5v and 12v (either combined or separate, don't know), which isn't enough..
