Oh, that's a real shame they've gone and changed components for the worse... was about to grab one. Will keep an eye out for a better quality at this sort of price!

Or clone it as suggested to the same size, then use Mini Tool Partition Wizard (https://www.partitionwizard.com/) after the fact and expand the drive to maximum available... it's free and completely reliable.

Still showing stock of the 16Tb Gold (@ 48% discount = $335) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B089S33PR3?tag=hardfocom-20&th=1

Just checked and it's just got the base 1Gb. Yeah, I looked at those, and thought I might offer it at $400 including the cables, plus shipping.

Not sure whether here is the right place to ask, but I've got an Areca 1882ix-16 (battery doesn't seem to register) that I have finished using. Has 4 breakout cables to run 16 Sata drives, and wondering what the card and cables together might be worth to sell? Have had it for several years now...

Cheers... I think he (certainly I) was trying to suss out whether two 9260i cards could (working together) run a Raid6 array for instance, with a total of 16 drives in the (single) array. AFAIK they cannot.

Thanks for the speedy response... So I should set up a bit of a test with my 4 x spare 3Tb drives in something speedy like Raid0 ? and test on the card and then on the expander?

What did you end up doing?

Had a quick read through this fantastic thread, looking for comments on speed differences/comparisons between the same array connected to a raid card and then to an HP (green pcb) SAS expander. I presently have 8 x 3Tb Hitachi drives in a raid6 array on an LSI 8260-8i. I consistently get...

Sadly no... (having ended up with a pair of 9260i cards myself thinking it might work), but you can add a SAS expander, which will allow you to feed the pair of ports from your card to the expander, which in turn, multiplies it from 2 ports (in my case) to 6 ports (so maximum goes from 8 drives...

Thanks. That what I figured. Might try the original psu first.

I have just bought an Norco RPC-4020 case to house my existing raid6 array in, along with a bunch of additional drives. After moving it all across, the LSI Raid BIOS says the drives have gone.:eek: Background: Using a standard 8-bay PC case, I set up a fileserver with a standard Gigabyte...

Still can't decide between a socket 2011-based setup (3930k probably) with 4 x 4Gb quad-channel ram, or a 4770k and 2 x 8Gb dual channel (both sets are 2133Mhz). I don't game at all, but like to have a nice smooth system. Either way, I'd like to be sitting on 4.5ish Ghz. Value any...

Just bought a new Dell XPS15 with a 32Gb msata and a 1Tb 5400rpm platter drive. I researched an earlier thread in the Dell forum discussing replacing the msata drive and the process required to do so, I figured I would a cloning approach, to see if I could use a 120Gb Intel msata drive as the...

I have six of the Hitachi 7k3000 drives attached to my Intel SRCSASPH16I card... They only show up as 2Tb each, so I guess I'm screwed until Intel comes up with some new firmware. Until I found this thread, I thought maybe I was meant to jumper the drives or something, but now I'm guessing...

These are what you (and I) need... These are the 2 1/2" ones... http://www.mcmaster.com/#machine-screws/=9l8w8f We are both doing the same thing... fan-shroud-H50/70-shroud-fan-case wall Not sure whether there is enough spare thread to be able to handle the case wall in the run...
