In my experience, it’s doing RAIDs with SSDs you would have a problem with the 92xx cards. I’ve read that those problems have been fixed with 93xx cards. But, if you’re simply spooling the SSDs and are running IT mode, then it runs very OK. This is in my experience though.

If you have a UPS (which I suggest you should with that much HDD and data to be stored), then try running this in powershell: Set-StoragePool -FriendlyName _POOL_NAME_HERE_ -IsPowerProtected $true ...although, I don't know if that command still is valid in 2016 or 10. I also had that slow...

https://www.servethehome.com/sas-expanders-diy-cheap-low-cost-jbod-enclosures-raid/ You can do what they did at STH ? Actually, don't bother with the extra PSU and motherboard either, especially if your current PSU can power another 24 drives. Just get 2 of those external molex plug on the PCI...

I still believe that if you want a NAS for minimal use or archives or backups, and your budget is below 200, then, you're better off as Blue Fox said. A 2-bay NAS is about 150-ish, and you won't need to do any of the installation except for plugging the HDDs and power. The software or OS is...

As kaigame said, the GPU won't process the sound, it just sends the bit stream through, no processing is done, it's still the AVR doing the decoding. But you have to set this up on your preferred media player, like Kodi has this option.

As far as I know, you won't be able to do the audio pass-thru for things like Dolby TrueHD or DTS HD. The media player would off-load the data directly on to the AVR, and let the AVR handle the decoding. By using the mobo audio jacks, directly to your AVR, it will still be the CPU doing the...

MSM only shows it as an "Enclosure", but I just can't find an indicator that could tell me that I'm running in dual link. Unless, there's another way to find out outside of MSM.

Hmmmm I can't see it in MSM..or maybe I guess I don't know what is the indicator ? ..Anyone knows how and where to look for this using MSM ? Cheers !

I just realised...... ...how do you know if you're running in dual uplink ? I know, plugging 2 cables gives you that answer, in a physical sense, but what if 1 cable is not working, right ? ;) ...anyway how do you know ? Thanks !

Strangel situation... After rebooting me server, the LSI controller dropped 1 of the HDD off the RAID10 array, and it seems a few minutes later it dropped another off the array. Now, the RAID10 is giving out a failed status. Is there a way anywhere in MSM or from the controller BIOS to re-add...

This worked, thanks !

How do I get SMART information from the drives in a RAID10 array that is behind an HP SAS Expander and built on a LSI 2308 controller ? I used to be able to see the SMART info on the same drives using CrystalDiskInfo when the drives were still independent, and not configured in a RAID. In...

I used the MSM utility, or MegaRAID Storage Manager -thingy, everything is in a Windows environment, no other 3P software RAID added such as FlexRAID, or DB or DrivePool. Just RAID10 on the LSI2308 controller. Although it's behind an HP SAS Expander. ...on a side note, how do you get SMART...

Uhmm..if it's just 10GB you need, why go through the trouble and expenses of buying a NAS unit and HDDs ? Google Drive comes with 15GB, or for 2-3 dollars a month you get 100GB. ..or is 10GB a typo ?

I'm planning to move/migrate my RAID10 array of 4 disks from one server to another server which is dedicated for the use of the RAID10. So here's the question, can I just move the set of HDDs part of the RAID10 array and plug them on the new server and have all the data readily available ? The...

...alive !

Well my suggestion is like the last thing you should try to do when you're "border-line ready to say good-bye", after all, you'll have to destroy the RAID after making an image.

Well if you got a 1TB HDD somewhere, you should be able to use that. But if you haven't really filled up the whole 512GB (256x2), then even a 500GB HDD will do. You have to create an image and use the sector-copy-thingy-option (don't remember the exact name now) clone to image, because then it...

Did this before for a friend, going from a Gigabyte Z87 to an Asus Z170 board (don't ask which exact model, I don't remember)...here's the easiest logic I thought of, and it worked for me. Clonezilla will be your friend, and assuming you're using motherboard RAID. Put back both SSDs on the...

Still very much recoverable if the guy buying it is smart enough to think that it was setup with a RAID0, but still not an easy feat to do. My last job asked me to have a RAID0 recovered, and it was expensive to be done by third party, and it was mostly recovered.

If it still happens with the new PSU, I think it's just your heatsink that may be lose and needs tightening up. I've had a mate that did his own build and he brought it to me to check and had exactly the same issue as yours. Even if we don't reset the CMOS, if we gave it an hour or so, it would...

Just one final thing, I want to get clarified, specially this was mentioned a few times on forums and on this thread. But it's now 2016.... ...do I need to switch the onboard LSI 2308 on my X10SL7 to IT-mode if I want to use the HP SAS Expander ? ...sorry, looking for a more 2016 era kind of...

Darn, I already have 2 sets of the regular/forward spare cables laying around, I felt hope on saving some cash there :P ......But thanks though mate, I appreciate the confirmation !

Uhmmm..I thought I would need a reverse cable instead ? Since it's 8x SATA ports from motherboard (LSI 2308) which will be the host, then goes to the expander, to which I would need a reverse breakout SATA to SAS cable ? Right ? Or I'm totally misreading somewhere on this thread........I mean...

Forgive me, and I'm sure it's already been posted somewhere on this thread, but after 56 pages of it, I got lost......... Soooo.... Here's my plan, I want to expand my storage capacity, internally and externally. So I was either going for another RAID card, or this HP SAS Expander, the 24-port...

If performance isn't your primary need, you just want to have some parity, and you're using desktop-grade HDD, then YES, use the chipset RAID 5 feature. I use it to store backups on 2 servers, 1 local with 4 HDDs, and 1 remote server with 6 HDDs, as a redundancy to my cloud backup. Both...

For EU buyers only...sorry ! Selling off my modded Nintendo/NES PC, available right now on eBay. Nintendo/NES PC (custom, modded, ITX, AMD 5350, AM1, 60GB SSD, 4GB RAM) Hopefully there are some EU members in [H] !

2x 8800 GTX that set me back 800+ euros back then.......all because of Crysis !

CloneZilla can clone at per used block level. An exact 1:1 copy, and since the source is only 120GB, after a clone you get an unused space as an unused partition which you can then extend within Windows. I use that because most of the free clone or partition utilities have problems if the...

This feels nostalgic, I had the same problem where I couldn't pin point the problem. I was building 10 rigs, exactly the same specs from 0-9 and A-Z. One rig just kept going BSOD all the time, swapped them all around to find the cultprit. Nothing. So I though, well the only thing I didn't...

Does the BIOS date also reset ?

Just the GPU if you ask me. I had a 650TI on my HTPC, and replaced it back to my old 5870 and it's improved big time for the console like gaming on the TV. Forget about the CPU, or anything else in that matter. But, if you want to make things a bit flashier, an SSD always drastically helps on...

Pffffff.......after more reading, apparently you will need to free up a few MB at the end of the HDD or HDD where the OS is installed on, so I left out 30MB of unused partition and it showed up with the Acceleration option.

Well, if you really think it's your 780ti, try booting up without it, and just use the onboard, temporarily of course for testing. That should eliminate the possibility of a problem video card, or a problem with the power feed to the video card.

It's been a week of daily searching for the case I specifically need, and I have yet to find one that is affordable and exactly what I want. So I'm branching out for some crowd-sourcing for this search :P This is my requirement, all other specs don't matter. * As small, short, or thin as...

Definitely blank, I've tried with an NTFS volume, tried without volume, tried MBR, tried GPT. Tried installing OS on HDD, tried on SSD. Still nada...

Chipset and RST are installed, and both HDD and SSD are plugged on the motherboard, using each the SATA 6Gbps channels. But for now I'm gonna crash...............tomorrow again !

So, I've been trying to figure out how to setup (or enable) Intel SRT (Smart Response Technology) on my P8H77-M. Specs are below, this is an HTPC HTPC: Motheboard: Asus P8H77-M CPU: i3 2130 SSD: Kingston V300 60GB HDD: WD3200BEKT OS: Windows 10 Pro RST: 14.5.0.1081 Gaming...

Clear explanation !! Much appreciated, I'll give it a shot.

Exactly what I'm looking for, much appreciated !
