Hi all
I'm new round here, but this forum seems full of knowledgeable dudes, so I'm hoping someone can help me.
I was running a Asus P5NT-WS on a pair of 150Gb Raptors in Raid 0 with 3 x 320Gb hdd's for storage. I have recently bought a pair of 300Gb VRaptors. As I also have 4 x500Gb Drives to replace my current storage ones, and reading about the trouble some people are having setting up Rais array's using onbard Raid, I purchased a Areca 1222 PCI-e Raid card to control my arrays.
I had waited until I had read up before trying to sort out my new stuff, but no matter what I did, whenever I installed an OS on the pair of VRaptors on my Acreca 1222, it got corruption straight away. I'd do a clean install, reboot, and chkdsk would run and find errors.
On friday my P5NT-WS went down (coincidence???) so I had to rush out and buy a new mobo. I've now got a Asus Striker II Nse, so I've spent a few days trying to get these VRaptors working. I can't. No matter what I do, once I have installed my OS (Vista x64) and reboot, I get chkdsk checking the array. In desperation I went into Raid system function and disabled SATA NCQ Support, I also disabled Tag Queuing in the Volume set function and rebuilt the array - no difference.
From having a search on this forum, I know a few of you run VRaptors with an Areca 1222 - Did you have to change any settings to get these to work ok? - As I can't seem to manage it =[
Thanks,
Spotta
