    3x 500gb WD RE2 + NF4 + Raid 5 = ???

    The driver is not for the raid, it is for the controller the array is built on. All disk controllers require drivers, it's just that most non-raid controllers are natively supported in the OS. Without the driver, the OS will not recognize that disks exist raid or not. Software Management of...

    Choosing a Raid 5 Controller (PATA)

    You can look arround for used LSI i4 Megaraid cards, which are also sold as Dell IDE raid controllers. They are 4 channel PCI cards for up to 8 drives. Not sure about linux support, but they are pretty old tech, so there should be.

    RAID 5 Array Down

    If I understand correctly, there was only one array. If so, the problem is the disk signatures are messed up on the 2 drives. If one drive was a hot spare, then the original array should only be missing 1 drive? I would remove the 2 drive array in the controller, wipe the drives and try to...

    RAID 5 Array Down

    The 2 array thing is pretty interesting.. It looks like the hot spare became part of an array. Looks like the controller fouled up. Not sure you could do anything to recover without a restore. You might try disconnecting the drives then boot into the array config. and clear the controller...

    CSP Mag pump failure

    I guess its good to know that your system can withstand a pump failure. I had a hydor l20 that the impeller blades broke and though the pump was running no fluid was moving. I noticed my temps were steadilly in the high 40's insead of the high 20's-low 30's. I had no idea how long it was...

    Removable HD Tray - Slowdown?

    I have heard of issues before with some backplane's/trays, but I have not experienced it myself. I use SuperMicro 5in3's Not the cheapest out there I guess, but they work well for me, and I know others around here use them too.

    Danger Den Mag II - LE 12 Volt and some W/C questions

    The mag II should be fine to start with, I used one with just a swiftech storm and BIP 120x2. As you expand and if you find you need more, just buy a second mag II. they should work very well in series.

    pata to sata adaptor for raid use?

    I don't think you will find many if any that have tried this.. There is another thread where someone is going to try with 2 sata and 2 pata with converters on a highpoint controller. The best I could say is maybe. It will depend if the raid controller is compatable with the converters and...

    SATA Bridge and RAID5 Reliability

    As long as the sata controller works with the bridge cards you should be ok. Though in general its not a good idea to mix drives in raid arrays. I have an array of 6 wd 120gb sata drives and have had no issues with the array. I've been using these bridges in my systems, though not on raid...

    What is ya'll's file copying prog of choice? Robocopy? NTBackup?

    best way to get lots of IDE ports?

    With the limited requirements you're specifying, it looks like your only option is a 3ware card. I don't think anyone ever made a non-raid controller with more than 4 ports, and even in raid controllers, I think 3ware is the only one that you'll find a 12 port controller, and maybe the abillity...

    Intermittently Failing Drive, How do I make it fail?

    If the drive had issues for you and is failing.. RMA it!! They will not question it and will replace it for you.. I have not heard of any MFR. these days that repairs and sends back the same drive. They recieve your drive and do a quick look at it to see if it has been tampered with, then ship...
