    Areca 1880i RAID Set/Volume Set Missing - Help Needed

    I am having very similar problems with an 1680-ix8, HP SAS, Norco 4224 and 15xHitachi 7200RPM (older drives) [Raid6] + 9 x Hitachi 5300RPM (newer drives) [Raid6]. I also see time outs and then 'device removed' warnings for anywhere between 1 and 4 drives. Sometimes the drives are on the same...

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

    Thanks for your help! The power supply is a Corsair HX750W 750-Watt Modular Power Supply - Single +12V Rail Design. I was using it with the 24 raid-ed drives, 2 SSDs and then 2 7200RPM seagate drives I had left over. There's a total of 7 fans (including CPU). I'm using the onboard...

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

    I have an ARC-1680 in a Norco 4224. I'm using a 750w corsair power supply. Periodically I see the following in my areca logs (and the beeper sounds): 2011-06-18 12:47:53 Ctrl DDR-II 0.9V Recovered 2011-06-18 12:47:23 Ctrl DDR-II 0.9V Under Voltage I'm wondering what this means and...

    @odditory: WebGUI as in the ArcHTTP interface (web browser front end for card). Buggy is the word I would use.

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

    Well, don't know why it suddenly started working, but now it is resizing the volume. Exactly the same steps as before (when it claimed it was modifying the volume, but really wasn't). I did reboot my machine so perhaps that sorted out the gremlins. Smells of some buggy code somewhere in there...

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

    I'm struggling with expanding a volume set. I've gone from an 8x2tb disk raid 6 array (12,000GB capacity) to an 11x2tb raid 6 array (18,000GB capacity). Raid expansion went fine, but I cannot seem to get the areca card to 'action' the volume set expansion. Each time I change the volume set to...

    Hitachi 2TB Harddrive Owner's Thread

    In-store only presumably? Seems to be 130$ online with shipping 'unavailable' I need 8 of these babies but they never hit anything less than about 120$/drive online (that I have seen thus far).

    HP SAS Expander Owner's Thread

    FWIW, I'm using the 1680ix-8 (firmware v1.48) with the HP SAS expander (firmware 2.06) and hitachi 7K2000 drives on a Tyan motherboard (http://www.tyan.com/product_board_detail.aspx?pid=645) without issue, connected internally (though I bought an external cable just in case - haven't needed it...

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

    Thanks Odditory for your guidance. I also discovered another thread on here yesterday along the same lines as mine where you posted about the default 4k allocation unit size in windows server 2008 R2. I fear I have made the same mistake and thus I will be scuppered when it comes to resizing the...

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

    hello. Stupid question. I have a 1680ix-8 in a Norco 4224 enclosure, hooked up to 6 x 2tb drives. I added 2 more 2tb drives over the weekend and expanded the raid set during the week (it took an age). Finally, the raid set is expanded, but I notice that the underlying volume did not increase...

    Did anybody elses 4224 come with screws for attaching hard drives to caddies? One of my 80mm fans was also broken.

    *Official* Norco data storage products thread

    Thanks for the report - very disappointing though :( I hadn't noticed the change, nor read anything about that on AVS or here... Now some smart alec points it out on AVS.... sigh.

    Has anybody purchased a 4224 yet in the USA? Curious about the fan bracket changes and heat management in general with the new model
