HI, I'm a television editor and new to the forum. Years ago I built a RAID for video editing using an ARECA 1882x which has worked great. Recently the 4tb HGST drives started dying and I want to replace the drives. Is there a limit to the size of SATA drives this older card can handle? I...

It's maybe a bit of a silly question, but.... I have upgrade the firmware on my Areca 1882 card to 1.56. Files located here: https://www.areca.us/support/download/adapter/fw/ARC-1882.zip Now as people who use Areca cards know, that gives you 4 files. I have selected them all in the menu...

I own a couple of 1882 Areca cards. Most of them are working fine. I would like to replace the fans of all of them, starting with a 1882-8i. I have removed the fan and the squared metal. I have bought a Noctua 40mm (10mm height). This one doesn't really fit on to the squared metal, but okee i...

If anyone could help on this I would be extremely grateful. We have a RAID 6 running on a 1880x STORPORT. After a power failure to the external RAID box during slacktime (the computer was on, but nothing was running on it, so no data being written), the BIOS startup screen stated that RAID...
