    Areca 1882 IX 24 Recovery

    Yes, I'm probably going to swap the 3 low flow fans I have for 3 high static pressure from Noctua. (made for CPU radiators, but since the disks are so close from one another, you need to put some pressure to have the air flowing). Aiming for the Noctua NF-F12 PWM, I believe it's a good fan...

    Areca 1882 IX 24 Recovery

    Thanks for the suggestion about R Studio. Unfortunately when creating the array I went for ReFS file system which almost no software can recover since it's a bit young technology. What was backed up is on it's way back, and for what wasn't saved, well let's just say that now, the cleanup...

    Areca 1882 IX 24 Recovery

    I'll think about testing them next time :) I believe the temperature might not help as well, the disks are running at 56°C continuously, which I believe is a lot. The logs show a full load of lost drives recently cause I believe my chassis (areca 4220) to cause some issues with connection...

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

    For those of you who'd like a silent Areca system (I have a 1882IX24 and the fan is way too noisy for me, since the Norco 4220 Chassis is in my office). I use this : Link It's basically a 2 slot PCI bracket held device with 2x120mm Fan, it's very silent, but is quite close to the MB...

    I'll go for an dual core ROC for the parity calculation performance. (so either Areca 1882 or LSI 9265) The SAS expander does seem nice, not sure about its compatibility with those boards. I'm a lot more interested in the Areca IX version because it can be upgraded easily in terms of cache...

    Zakari's Home Build

    I can't find any decent review for this controller, the 2 I found were made with SSDs (I need mass storage, not "undecent" speeds, anywhere near 500M/s sequential read/write will fill up the quad nic link ...) Concerning the drive, there's been a lot of builds made with the HD204UI (found posts...

    Zakari's Home Build

    A couple of years back, I swapped my 7 external USB hard drives to a Qnap T410 with 5.5 TB available in RAID 5. I now have outgrown that capacity (and am bored with the very very slow writing speeds of this device) so I'm moving to something a bit bigger, here's what I chose : Case : Norco...
