The problem is I don't have another mobo to test with. I honestly doubt its the mobo given the track record I've seen of the SASLP series cards. Granted this is the newer version, but I just ordered a M1015 card to see how that works with the LSI IT flash mod.

Or what about 2 - 3 M1015 cards?

I'm building a new server based on a 1155 socket i3 processor and a Supermicro MBD-X9SCM-F-O board. I've tried using 3x AOC-SAS2LP-MV8 cards without success; always drops the drives attached under large data transfers. I will be using Flexraid and W2K8... I want to get better HBA cards. I was...

I've heard of these issues with the older cards...very disconcerting. Anyhow, what were you thinking of getting? I see a Intel expander (RES2SV240) -- what are you considering using as a controller?

I just read on another forum that sometimes the controller card will assign all drives connected to it the same SAS address for the drives connected; I'm going to see if mine does the same thing. If so, the way to fix it is to reflash the bios; will report back soon. Also, I updated my NIC...

Update: -Turned off Flexraid and deleted the Flexraid array. Then, tried to copy from the network to the drives when connected to the HBA... had dropouts after 5 minutes. - Tried hooking up the hard drives to the motherboard satas with nothing on the HBA and I'm getting disgustingly slow...

I have not tried copying directly to the WD o/s drive over the network -- I will most certainly try that. I will also try hooking the drives directly to the mobo and trying to copy over the network to them. I still have a feeling that the cards are causing the issues, mainly because of the...

Right now, I only have 5 hard drives hooked up until I get this working and the rest of my drives (18 or so) will be migrated over along with my data. Drives are clean and hangup occurs when I try to copy a data that is large (Blu-Ray rips/DVD rips, trying either 2-4gb at a time or 10gb+). I'm...

This is a brand new build with freshly installed W2K8 and Flexraid. The drives are clean of data and data is being transferred over a 1gb network connection. The drives are also connected with a 8087 (or whatever) forward cable, minisas to 4x sata. I've tried different cables as well. When large...

Called Supermicro today -- they say its my hard drives causing the issue; I think its just an excuse. I am using Samsung F4 HD204UI and/or WD EARS 2TB -- either/all work with the onboard controller and in other computers with no problems. Anyhow -- anyone have any suggestions? I am using a...

Wow... that sucks. I'm going to try and call Supermicro tomorrow and see if they have any suggestions. If not, I'm going to probably get a IBM M1015...

Has anyone have success with this card?? I have 3 of them in a Supermicro MBD-X9SCM-F-O running W2K8 and Flexraid. When doing large file transfers to any of the cards, all HD's will drop out and a reboot is required. I tried using Samsung 2TB drives and WD 2TB 64mb cache drives and all do the...

I think I've answered my own question -- found something in the 9590 user guide: "After you have configured a unit on a 3ware 9000 series controller (9500S, 9550SX, or 9590SE), you can move it to a different 3ware 9000 series controller, and retain the configuration on the new controller. This...

I am currently running a 3ware 9550s 4 port on my WHS for the system disk -- two 500gb drives in a RAID 1 array -- these are the only drives on this card. Last night, one of the drives died, resulting in a degraded array running the OS on one drive. I RMA'd the damaged drive and awaiting a...

This is what my server reads when in suspend mode: This is what it reads when Windows is booting: At one point, it hit 304. Perhaps I am misreading something...
