I'm in the Colorado Springs office. I always wish I could answer more questions about our controllers in this forum, but even though I know the chips inside and out, I know very little about the publicly-available utilities that LSI distributes.

That's a lot of ports to cram onto a half-height HBA! Of course, mini-SAS HD is making this possible, finally! Computurd, keep in mind the moderator of this very subforum is an engineer at LSI's RAID Storage Division ;) I tend to let our marketing guys do the talking since I'm never sure...

Well, that's certainly unusual! Is there a chance the bracket was bent or slightly off in size? I wonder if it was pushing it just far enough back or out of the slot that there wasn't a good enough connection for the PCIe link to train correctly...

In Ubuntu, if you issue the command 'lspci' in the terminal, do you see the controller listed among the PCI devices?

Closed it for you. Interesting project you have going on there!

I think in the particular setup you are considering, there would be no performance benefits. You are correct that you could get two paths to each drive, which helps with redundancy should one of the physical connections have a problem. However, the benefits of load balancing would only be...

I'm not sure what expander is on that board, but I do know for sure that a 1068 can easily support well over 100 devices with the proper expanders connected to it. My first guess is that it's a 24- or 36-port PMC expander, with 4 of the ports connected to the 1068 (you can't make an 8-wide...

Not since the early, early SATA drives that were really bridged PATA and used a Marvell chip to bridge. Otherwise, they seem very compatible with every drive we've thrown at them. :eek: Oh, not at all... even though it seems the top management has been slowly replaced by ex-intel people, it's...

In the lab I work in, we use Kapton tape for covering up pins on edge connectors. It works really well and lasts for at least tens of insertions. But I guess it's not likely that you have a roll sitting around your house.

Yeah, it's odd that the 6i is able to, but the 8888ELP can't. They are both based off the same SAS1078 controller and run the same firmware stack. I was personally and extensively involved with the validation of the power save features of the SAS1078 controller and there is no reason that an...

Yep. All MegaRAID cards do have boot support.

They're faster than anything you've ever seen :) But I'm just a tease, apparently, and can't release any of my numbers due to confidentiality reasons, but have been playing with these for about a year now. I think it won't be long until some numbers are actually out there, though.

You can try this also, all the features of wmwifirouter, but free and, in my opinion, easier to set up: HTC CM Wifi Sharing The USB port method will drain your battery much less quickly (and will, in fact, charge it from the USB port). On most newer HTC devices, you just have to plug in the...

Exactly... Last warning for everyone: Keep it on topic. If you don't want to discuss the subject at hand, keep out of it.
