6.20.00.31 Storport 64bit works fine with 10 Build 10162 on the 1883.
I have 7 500Gb drives setup in RAID 5. It has been running for years without a problem. I decided to upgrade and replaced the 500Gb disks with Seagate 1Tb disks. When I rebooted the system, the RAID controller now has a message "No BIOS disk found. RAID Controller BIOS not installed" when I hit tab/F6 the Bios screen pops up and is empty. I put all the 500Gb disks back and connected them in the proper order. Rebooted and all is well. How can I fix the controller so it works with 1Tb drives or correct the "No BIOS" message. Thanks in advance. . . . . . AsForMe
You are going to need to make a complete backup of all your data, remove the old disks, delete the old raid and volumeset(s), create a new raid and volumeset on the new drives and then restore. You can't just plug in new drives, do nothing and hope for your array to still be there.
Thanks for the reply mwroobel. I have a DR server with a Rocketraid RAID 5 that I already updated to 1 Tb disks. So all the data on my main server has been rsync'ed to the DR machine. I will follow your instructions and check back. Thanks again. . . . . . AsForMe
Ok, I understand your instructions to mean. Remove the old disks, boot the system without the disks and the RAID BIOS should load. Tab/F6 into the RAID BIOS and delete the old raid and volumeset(s). Install all the new disks, boot the system and the RAID BIOS should load.Tab/F6 into the RAID BIOS, create a new raid and volumeset on the new drives and then restore.
Thanks danswartz for your reply, I already pulled all the 500Gb drives and replaced them with 1Tb drives and I still get the same error and blank BIOS screen. It is like the ARC-1120 has lost its BIOS and is reading the BIOS off one or more of the 500Gb disks.I am wondering if I flash the BIOS from the ArcHTTP web interface if that would correct the problem. It may be time to scrap the ARC-1120 and get a RocketRAID 2320. Uggggg
Blue Fox - here is my original post "I have 7 500Gb drives setup in RAID 5. It has been running for years without a problem. I decided to upgrade and replaced the 500Gb disks with Seagate 1Tb disks.

As I mentioned in my above post you need to create a new RAIDSET from the new disks, then create a VOLUMESET so you can put a filesystem on the disks. You can find the manual for your card here, look at page 55 and the pages following for step-by-step instructions on what you need to do.
Hey guys, I could use some help now. I was rendering a video out today and I came back to my desk to find my computer restarted itself and it was showing on the bootup screen in red something to likes of 'insufficient memory' where it normally starts the firmware!
I tried rebooting again but only to find the F/W boot screen going past the 300 seconds mark and restarting itself.
I just recently purchased a 4gb stick of ram as per my previous post on here but changing that out with the old 1gb stick of ram does not solve the issue either!! The only thing that I'm seeing is the firmware boot screen but it goes over 300 seconds and then reboot.
For now I have removed the card and using my PC without it. Of course, all my footage is backed up and I have my current project transferred over to a 6tb raid 0 setup on my computer but I have no idea what to do now with the 1882ix. I should still be under the 3 year warranty but this is a pretty huge hassle either way. Not sure if it had to do with the new ram installed either (it was purchased from the Areca website).
Any advice or help would be appreciated!!!

Hey guys I need help.
I can't seem to get my RAID card working, but it shows up in Windows, so it can't be broken.
It's an ARC-1222.
motherboard is a gigabyte GA-970A-UD3 (not sure which rev I can check if necessary)
When the Areca is inserted, it gives the two short beeps when the system boots up, and I see NO special post screen to initialize the hard drives. I heard it is supposed to be after the normal POST and before the OS, but it goes straight to the OS. In windows, it asked for a driver and I gave it the proper one. Says it is installed correctly, but I can't see drives which are connected to it. Since this is sort of a hardcore adapter I suppose the drives have to be set up in that BIOS screen.
Is there some option in my mobo bios I have to enable?

Try this:
Use the original 1G RAM stick
Disconnect the BBU (if you use one).
Disconnect all HDDs (unplugg the cables from the card)
Start the PC with the card in the same PCIe as before.
IF IT WORKS OK:
Reconnect the HDDs and reboot.
- If NOT Ok check the HDD Power from PSU incl. cables and if Ok you may have to check each HDD individually on a suitable SAS/SATA port + HDD manufacturer's diagnostic tool.
- If Ok then reconnect the BBU and reboot. If NOT Ok then replace the BBU.
If if still works with the HDDs and BBU connected, and the original 1G RAM, then it may be something wrong with the new 4G RAM or the card glitched. In such case, recheck the 4G RAM by disconnecting the HDDs and BBU, then replacing the 1G with 4G RAM, and starting from the top of this section (reconnect HDDs - reboot, then BBU - reboot etc.).
IF IT DOESN'T WORK
with disconnected HDDs and BBU and the original 1G RAM, then RMA the card.
Hope this helps a little and good luck!
Is this a first time installation or did it used to work, and now it suddenly doesn't?
It seems to be a HW issue either with the card or the motherboard. Have you updated the card's Firmware recently?
Anyway, it might be a good idea to get in touch with Areca Support if your Firmware, drivers, mobo BIOS, Windows etc. are up to date. Areca Support usually responds within a day and provides very sensible answers in my experience.
Hi all,
Been trying to track down an issue with an app hang under load in certain, repeatable conditions and I've come to find its my Areca card. Impossible to replicate the issue with the systems onboard software raid.
So my question is, might there be some settings within the card that might alleviate this or is it something I need to look into rma ing?
So far I've updated all the firmware and the latest driver.
This issue has followed me since Mavericks.
I'm running a raid 5 with 8 1tb barracuda drives.
Thanks in advance

Did you find a solution to your issue? I have experienced this twice, and have now been seeing errors in the windows event log - VSS is failing to function intermittantly, preventing backups form running.
The first time this happened, files were NOT being saved to the array one morning, and I had to reboot the server. Files that were put on the server in the morning were not there after the reboot. Very disconcerting.
Anyone else run into this and have a fix?

Hello forum gurus,
Sorry for the long post. I am currently experiencing challenges with my brand new ARC-1883IX-24-8GB.
This is a new system build.
My system specs are as follows;
Supermicro X10DRi-LN4+
Xeon E5-2630L v3 x2
MEM-DR432L-SL01-ER21 x8
Corsair AX1200i PSU
ARC-1883IX-24-8GB
SFF8643 to SATA fan-out
Runs latest 1.52 firmware
10x 4TB WD40EFRX
6x 1TB WD1003FZEX
6x 1TB WD1001FALS
After first building the system I experienced the following symptoms;
The raid card was able to see all the 4TB drives, but only 6 of the 1TB drives; specifically the FZEX drives
Thinking this could be an issue with the card supporting older drive firmware, I tested a cold standby FZEX drive.
If this was merely a drive firmware issue, then I should have then seen 7x 1TB FZEX drives.
Instead plugging in the new drive brought the 6th FZEX drive offline; keeping my total at 6x 1TB drives.
At some point during the troubleshooting, all 10 of my 4TB EFRX disappeared from the card. I have not been able to make them reappear.
I plugged in a cold standby 4TB EFRX drive into one of the same ports, and it did show up.
I also plugged in the 1TB FZEX cold standby drive again, and this brought my total 1TB drives up to 7.
I found two links which initially sort of sounded like the issue I was having with the older drives;
http://faq.areca.com.tw/index.php?sid=54803&lang=en&action=artikel&cat=7&id=24&artlang=en
http://faq.areca.com.tw/index.php?action=artikel&cat=7&id=154&artlang=en&highlight=1883ix
The answers were somewhat cryptic.
I did find an "Active Cable Management" section in the "advanced configuration" tab.
I forced it to 6G with no affect. I also tried forcing drive speed to 3G.
At one point I also tried setting active cable management to disabled. (didnt think this would matter as the guide says this only comes into play when using a 8644 cable)
At some point during the reboots of these changes the 4TB drives disappeared.
So my current status is that I still cannot see any of the 4TB drives I could in the beginning, and I still only see 6 of the 1TB FZEX drives.
Both cold standbys are offline.
For troubleshooting purposes I also plugged all drives into a separate older RAID card, as well as leveraged the onboard SATA ports of the motherboard. Each time leveraging the same power cables, all drives spun up and were accessible. I booted up the system once using FreeNAS. All drives displayed properly and I was able to wipe all of them, and read/write to them. I have tried all the PCIe slots on the board and have tried multiple power connectors to the RAID card itself. So the problem seems to be confined to the RAID card itself. The power and all the drives have been proved out.
Anyone know how to reset the "configuration" on these guys?
Anyone have any thoughts on this? Its a real doozy. I thought buying the more expensive card meant this would be an easy build. Silly me.
Also put in an email to Areca Support.
Thanks for any help.

Deciding on buying the Supermicro 16 bay case with dual E5345 xeons and ARC-1260.
Seached the thread but not found an answer. Perhaps somone take some time to respond:
1) Is ARC-1260 having HBA mode? E.g. the ability to work with drives "as is" without need to reformat the drive when inserted? I have plenty of drives with valuable data and cannot afford them being erased by connecting to RAID card.
2) Does it work well with 4 Tb drives (and possible bigger)? I use mostly WD Green drives like WD30EZRX, WD40EZRX.
Thank you!

Minor update. Got two ARC-1260, upgraded to latest 1.49 and it works with 4 Tb drives in JBOD perfectly.
Looks like it pass all necessary things to the host as well. Not yet tested the standby function - should it be taken care by OS or controller may manipulate it additionally.

Hi, I have an Areca 1882 RAID6 array with 15 Hitachi HDS5C3030ALA630 3TB drives in a Supermicro SC847 chassis and am experiencing timeout errors.
My settings are:
TLER Setting 7 seconds
Timeout Setting 120 seconds
Number Of Retries 3
Any ideas on what is wrong? Or other settings I should change?
Thanks! Hammer8

Can you please post the entire log from the card? Is it just one drive or entire rows?
Here's the log...I moved the enclosure to a 1880 card and the timeouts disappeared. Maybe the SC847 is not compatible with the 1882? However, I've used the combination before and never had any problems. The array in question is in Enc#6. Thanks!

You are losing the whole domain, so check power first, SAS cabling second and change the card if those are fine (which you did). Sounds like either the card or connectors on your 1882 are going bad, but the 1882 and SC847 are perfectly compatible.
OK, so maybe it's the card/connector since I'm still using the same cable. Appreciate the help and confirmation that the 1882/SC847 are compatible with each other.
Hi. I bought a used Areca 1260 card (16x sata ports ) to my home server. For few days everything worked fine with couple installed hdds. Yesterday when I finally connect all drives and all cables, card didnt work. It always emit a long beep on start (with blinking at different frequencies green light) / after that I had window " waiting for f/w to become ready".
Now card is even not recognized in mobo slot and green light (D1) blinks fast all the time. What is wrong with it? I tried on other computers but it is the same. Is it broken or what?

From your description, it sounds like the card has failed completely after gasping its final breaths. Was it guaranteed by the seller?

Wondering if anyone can help me. I have an Areca 1880i with a 34TB RAID6 array on a Windows 2008 R2 system. A drive went bad today and the array immediately started rebuilding with a hot spare. The array is still rebuilding (34% done). I noticed that certain directories on the server were inaccessible. I decided to reboot the system. Now Windows is labeling the array as an invalid dynamic drive (GPT).
Is there anything I can try?
Raid Set Name RAID6
Member Disks 19
Total Raw Capacity 38000.0GB
Free Raw Capacity 0.0GB
Min Member Disk Size 2000.0GB
Supported Volumes 128
Raid Set Power State Operating
Raid Set State Rebuilding

Please post the entire log from the card. Do you have a current backup of the array?

Here is the event log
The rebuilding start/stop was from a reboot and then a shutdown/startup that I tried. I only backup about 5% of the data (most critical stuff). There is no backup of the rest but I'd really like to recover if possible.

Please post the entire log, going back to before the event. 19 members in a single array is more than recommended. Do you have (preferably) 19 available 2TB drives to image your array or an additional 34TB of space to image your current drives so you can always return to your current level if the recovery attempts make things worse?
