FW 20.00.07.00 is the one everybody uses ;)

The HP P410 cards are very common and cheap. My DL380 has the P410 on the mainboard... I only use it to boot the OS. I use an LSI HBA + expanders for the data disks. The H220 would be the cleaner solution of course.. but your disks might need a reformat, not sure.

PCs have a lot of bottlenecks... but you'll never feel one from using only a single NVMe SSD in daily use

Can't see why it wouldn't work with the ARC-1224. Connecting with 2 SAS cables can enhance (not double) the max performance. The linux update procedure could work with your controller. These HP expanders are very reliable, but not very fast (3Gbps limit). You might also want to check the forum...

sorry, but clicking is a bad sign

diskpart, select the correct disk, clean or the https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/ or a live linux/gparted

I'm using a 9211-16e (ebay $25) with 3/4/5 TB drives in HBA (non-raid) mode. Can't imagine why 12TB drives shouldn't work.

If the expander is connected to your P410 then you can use the HP update tools... otherwise it's the linux procedure. And yes, 2.10 is the last firmware.

Norco and Supermicro cases are the most popular I think. If you use such big drives (8TB+), make sure to have enough parity.. (double disk failure during the long rebuild)

Any update here? Thinking of getting a DS4243 myself. Use a SFF-8088 adapter cables ($50) or a Netapp X2065A-R6 controller (ebay $20)... ?!

I've been un-casing many usb disks recently. Some partitions were readable, most were not. Sometimes disk management wasn't able to delete the volumes, had to clean them with diskpart.exe first.

Just went from firmware 2.06 to 2.10 using a Fujitsu D2607 :)

I'm using these for PWM fan contol, config is by dip switch (base speed, ramp up temp, etc).

I'm using the D2607 with 12 disks. Flash instructions here: https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/fujitsu-d2607-sas2008-it-mode.2513/

Does anybody know if the 'old boards + bios update + new cpu' gives us HDMI 2 output = UHD 60Hz ? List is being compiled: https://smallformfactor.net/forum/threads/raven-ridge-hdmi-2-0-compatibility-am4-motherboard-test-request-megathread.6709/

I decided to get the empty SC846 case with BPN-SAS-846A and super noisy 900W PSU. For a few weeks I checked ebay for supermicro X9/X10 boards, but getting the matching CPU and RAM seemed tricky. In the end I got an old HP DL380 G6 (24GB), added a Fujitsu D2607 (flashed to IT mode). Used a HP...

Flashing the D2607 to IT mode seems to be tricky, but it should work: https://marcan.st/2016/05/crossflashing-the-fujitsu-d2607/

Is it possible to run a SC846/JBOD/Expander setup without the special SM JBOD board?

I'm going to stick with USB disks and Snapraid for a while. The incremental parity update only takes about 5-10min. Snapraid has simplified my backup task (connect/mirror 8 disks).. and freed up 20TB of disk space (ex backup).

I'm building the Snapraid double parity now... reading from 8 USB3 disks (veracrypt encrypted + NTFS) and writing to 2 USB3 disks (NTFS). The average r/w performance is about 47MB/s each (ETA 27h)... A total of 376MB/s read seems quite nice for USB3 (5Gbps) ;) Had to disable the Windows 10...

Hmm, I'm starting to like Snapraid. But how long will it take to build the 5TB parity for 25TB data spread over 8 disks? And how long does every change take after writing a few gig.. minutes/hours/days?

Hello I've been using USB disks to store my data (25TB)... but it's becoming annoying (3/4/5TB disks). I read about modern NAS/RAID tech and I think it's what I need. I found a used 24bay hotswap SATA server (around $500): - Supermicro X7DBE - 16GB ECC memory - 9650SE-24M8 controller -...

Hi, how did this end?
