    WD20EADS/EARS Staggered Spinup Issue

    I currently have 6 wd20eads drives connected to my new intel sasuc8I hba flashed to LSI IT firmware. I noticed that the card supports staggered spinup so I decided to jumper the drives to power up in standby. Problem is now none of the drives are detected. Is there a step I'm missing or is...

    Samsung F4 HD204UI 2TB in WHS v1?

    Has anybody tossed the new Samsung F4 HD204UI drives in their WHS v1 boxes? I'm running out of space on my current server and was thinking of picking up a pair. From what I've read they emulate the 512 byte sector without a jumper unlike the WD greens that use a jumper. Anybody have success...

    Testing new hard drive

    I was under the impression that the manufactures tools just scan the drive and don't simulate use. Is the scan from these tools enough?

    Testing new hard drive

    I got my hands on a new WD 1.5TB drive today and want to run it through some paces before I put it into service in my WHS server. What's the best free software out there to test the crap out of this drive?

    AOC-SASLP-MV8 + WD10EADS + Staggered Spinup

    I did some more testing and I tried a WD Black WD6401AALS that was in another machine. With the jumper installed for PM2 it will not spin up and detect it. I'm thinking the RE drives have something different besides TLER cause I have 2 different model number 500gb RE drives and they spin up...
