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

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

    nicholasfarmer: Thank you for your answer. The weird thing is that i can deploy the exact same file to another server with Adaptec-card and it works. And when i used a sata-drive on the motherboard it works. I can make and install ISO-files on the servers, but not OVA/OVF. I have two servers...

    If the controller breaks down? What then?

    I have an Areca 1680ix-8 raid card which i'm using. What happens if the controller breaks down? Can i just change it for a new card and it finds my raid? Can i change to an 1880 or do i have to use the same family of cards? I'm guessing that i cannot exchange it for an Adaptec or other brand...

    Deleted 2 GB of data on drive - recovery possible?

    Thanks! I am using Testdisk right now. It autodetects a None partition, but after a quick analyze it finds a Ext3 partition. Should i select Intel/Pc partition right away? It's now doing a deep analyze, but with none selected at partition type, so no writes this time. I'm running it from...

    Deleted 2 GB of data on drive - recovery possible?

    I did something really stupid with my drive, i accidently wrote 2 GB of data on my drive. Is it possible to get it back? What i did: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc bs=2M count=1000 (I should have written SDD and not SDC, crap!!) I am using Ubuntu and a 8 TB areca raid 5. My drive looks like...

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

    I have contacted Areca and asked about ESXi 5 drivers. They said that the beta-driver may be ready in a few weeks and the certification from VMware could take a few months.
