Ya, 64GB isn't a must be it would be nice to be able to add more later... I bought the 32GB back when DDR3 was cheap ($50/8GB) so it'd be nice to grab some more if DDR4 ever gets cheap. Windows Server 2012R2 Essentials is one of my VMs and it likes ram so I give it 8GB the others are on dynamic...

Hi all! My server is feeling a little under powered & old these days... So I'm looking to upgrade my current file server/hyperV setup from an Intel i5-2500K w32GB ram & an ARC-1882IX-16. I have a smaller budget so I'm looking to go with (on sale for black Friday) : AMD - Ryzen 7 2700X...

Final got around to flashing the firmware on Monday. Found the read me from 1.52 that stated: For Controllers with any firmware versions before 1.52, (1) Update to firmware 1.52 and other files except 1.52 BIOS, and then reboot (2) Update BIOS 1.52 ( that is because firmware prior to...

So I'm going to be replacing my 12 - 3TB seagates to 8 - 8TB HGST Deskstar NAS Drives soon on my ARC 1882IX-16... I'm still on V1.51 (2012-07-04) firmware. I tried upgrading to 1.54 but it didn't work. Do I have to go to 1.52, 1.53 first? Are there any new Advanced Configurations setting for...

Are you able to switch to ArcGIS Pro? I'm sure it would scream on dual CPUs even if they're only 1.9GHz. :D I'd like to start testing it this fall but we won't get much of a boost as our network is our current bottle neck (has been forever)... :mad:

Win 8/8.1 Defender has "Enhanced protection against rootkits and bootkits" which Win XP/7 WSE doesn't have. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-CA/windows/security-essentials-download

Thanks guys! :D

I had a couple of my Seagate 3TB drives fail on my RIAD 6 array on my Areca 1882ix-16 over the past couple of months. They have a bunch of bad sectors and fail the short DST test on Seagate tools. I bought the 3 year In-Store Product Replacement for them because they only had a one year...

I'm using 8186s so you shouldn't have a problem with the longer 8187s. :D

WSE 2012 & R2 has a dashboard similar to WHS & WHS 2011. (see image bellow) I'm not sure what they changed but it's super fast compared to WHS & WHS 2011! :confused: You only have to worry about the domain part if your Windows version can join a domain (Pro, Ultimate & Enterprise). I only...

StableBit DrivePool works with WSE 2012(R2) and you don't have to join the domain... I run both WHS 2011 & WSE 2012 in Hyper V on 2008R2... I'm just about ready to retire my WHS. :( WHS 2011 has a the same problem with slow backups that WHS has... they fixed that in WSE 2012 so I just use...

Thanks for the advice odditory! :)

Has anyone bought from these guys? http://www.arecadirect.com/arc82404gb.html They're the cheapest I've found so far and they don't say "out of stock" like the others I've found...

Please do! :) I'm look to upgrade myself... most I've found are $300!! :eek:

Thanks again odditory! :) I set the Low Power Idle and Low RPM Mode commands to disable. Probably better to not mess with it! ;) I'll probably start moving stuff over this weekend, hopefully everything goes well! :D Edit: I forgot to ask... what should I set the Volume Checking to? I...

Thanks for the reply odditory! :) Keep it at 80% makes sense (i wasn't sure what would be best for home use)! :D Thanks for the comments, it good to hear you're having good luck with the 3TB Seagates! :) I upgraded to V1.50 2012-02-16 which I believe is the lastest...

Hi! First post, I've been lurking for a few months... :) I have a ARC-1882IX-16 with 6 3TB HD in RAID 6. The drives are Seagate ST3000DM001 (can't afford enterprise drive until prices drop :( ) I'm looking for some suggestion on the settings as this is my first RAID controller... I had...
