• ARECA RAID CARD PROBLEMS

  I'm in the middle of my new build system.

  I have problems with an Areca arc-1680 IX 16 Port.

  Basically the card is so slow, I tried several volumes of 2 x hd 10 raid 0, raid 0, raid 30 ect. the most I've gotten is 170 ish mbs. pics from top to bottom.

  I tried with HD Tach and HD Tune.

  Motherboard used:

  ASUS Z8NA-D6

  HD: Samsung hd103sj

  Windows 7 Ultimate edition.

  I tried the 8 available only 2 x pci-e slots. makes no difference.

  arec awaiting return to me.

  This is the second card I tested this week. So I have 2 cards that cost £££ and they are useless.

  any suggestions what it might be.

  Baz

  Baz,

  I tend to agree with Scott and Bill it could be the motherboard.

  You know I have the same card controller (12 port one) and I use the older Spinpoint F1, which are a bit slower than the F3 and my HD Tach results like this:

  

  Find it me hard to believe that give two cards this boredom and that is why I think that Scott and Bill are on the right track.

• How to install the driver for a Raid card.

  I hope that this question is of you and yours.

  I have:

  ESXi 4.1 operational on a Dell 1950. He has a basic raid card that works. This is the functioning and VM are stored.

  I installed a 1212 4 Areca Raid port cards. I have attached two Intel SSD's in raid 1.

  My Bios sees both the original and the 1212 raid cards and disks.

  Areca at startup utility says that everything is swell.

  ESXi is unable to see the 1212. I went to the Areca website and downloaded the driver for ESXi 4.X.

  I followed the instructions for all upward using the CLI interface. He begins to apply the patch, but then I thought that a meta.zip file is missing and things are abandoned.

  I went to the site of vmWare and downloaded their solution. Once again using the interface CLI things start to download but then I thought that there was no update occurred or the boot. Nothing to do.

  Here is the link to the drivers of the Areca. The installation instructions are great, but for the meta.zip file.

  Any ideas? Thanks for help.

  I had a similar problem with the Areca 1222 (version 8 ports of yours).

  I was able to fix by changing the zip file of Areca. In the folder while offline connection-bundle, you will find some arcmsr ARC - 1.20.00.15.vmk.100202 - offline_bundle - 262812.zip. Inside that zip you will find metadata.zip. Inside of this zip, look for vmware.xml. Modify the file as follows:

  Find the following text:

  You should now be able to install the CLI.

• Suggestions for a RAID card

  Header 1

  Currently I have an Adaptec RAID 3405 card, it is about five years old and about two of every three boot-ups, he negotiated one of the disks at half speed, i.e. 1.5Gps. To mitigate the problem, I've done as a "hot spare" HD Having replaced the cable without result maybe it's time to get a new card.  I want to do is get a RAID card allowing five internal hard drives (2 TB) and for future expansion also a SAS /... external connector.  Currently, there are three sets of external drive connected via eSATA and Sil3132 SATALink Controller. Latter is configured through external enclosures in RAID 5 and RAID0 respectively, so there is a single HD via the eSATA port. The system is of recent construction with an i7 950 and 24 GB of RAM. "' 'C' (System) drive is Raptor 10 K rpm WD, the" D "drive is a 1.5 to 7200 RPM, the 'G' disc is consists of four HDs Seagate 2 TB 7200 RPM drive 'I' is a Kingston SSD 128 GB which is used for caching. More combinations of external drive mentioned above.  In addition to change/upgrade the RAID card, I would get a late model SSD to replace my existing 'C' drive and use it to replace the existing "D".  Looking forward to your suggestions. See you soon,. Michael

  HI Mike,.

  We recommend to not to fill readers beyond 65%, depending on the performance degrades quickly at this point (beside SSD)

  I don't know that prejudice will agree.

  Intel Raid RS2BL080

  And then there is this one which is newer RS25DB080, but now you get up in the price of the Areca.

  Best software of management of each of them.

  Atto is the only other that we love.

  Nothing wrong with Areca.

  In all honesty I haven't used a LSI in 2 years and more. At one point they were my fav as comparable to those of other performance

  Even cheaper. We had some problems with them some time ago and stopped using their... also support was easy to get ahold of and well informed.

  Really, I don't know what the problem was with them...

• Install windows on mac pro (early 2008) in other SSDS with RAID card

  Guys, good evening to all the same time.

  I get out of this crazy short, I ask humbly help.

  I explain my problem:

  I have a Mac Pro (early 2008), with RAID CARD MEDIA

  He does not then I "gave" to my mother who must use windows for work.

  I'm out all 4 disks in RAID installed and mounted 2 - SSD OCZ Agility 256 GB.

  one of them is installed OSX Yosemite. on the other hand, I want to install WINDOWS.

  and here the problems begin:

  When I insert the win8.1 to proceed installation standard dvd (EFI not talked since the beginning of 2008), I get, when I have to decide on which disk to install and format windows, does not reveal the installed drives

  After 2 days of tweaking, I was able to understand that this is a problem due to the RAID card installed, I also read that you just remove it and connect the SSD in one of the two doors empty ODDsata (and not in the 4 planned the raid card slots)

  but still does not see the attached HDD / SSD, so keep trying and I think it's a driver problem and I need to install the AHCI driver, now, I'm pretty Nerd, but I still can't get.

  Someone could want explain step by step what I need to do to install this * win on MacPro 8.1 designed for RAID card?

  Thank you so much in advance.

• 2008 mac Pro Apple Raid card problems, help!

  Hello, I have a mac pro 2008 with a raid set up. I want to get rid of all old raid together upwards and instead put a new ssd in the first Bay. The computer cannot read it because I think that it is always configured as a raid. Does anyone know how to make the available drive bays to new readers? You're help would be highly appreciated. I want to take the Apple Raid card so I can have an additional PCI port and I also want to get out the discs four raid. Just so I can put in a single ssd! Thank you very much.

  When you remove the Apple RAID card, readers who were searched will be unreadable. You need to make backups before time, because there is no way known to them read differently.

  There is a data cable, called the iPass cable connected to the motherboard to the RAID card. You must remove this cable when you remove the RAID card and reconnect the plug corresponding on the motherboard. Once you do this, you get four bays returned as SATA bays and can install any drives that you like. The problem with a lot of SSDS is that they are 2.5-inch form factor drives and may not fit on a standard sled. Users have used an IcyDock (in the 2008 version and earlier versions) or the newer technology adaptadrive:

• R420 chassis due heating controller raid card

  Hello

  We bought 6 Indian dell servers.

  We are facing a problem of severe heat on top of the chassis above the card raid with all these 6 servers.

  the server configuration

  R420 - hexcore single processor 2.2 ghz, 32 GB ram

  Readers 4 x 600 GB 15000 rpm
  (configured as 2 drives in raid 1 + 2 drives in raid 1)

  These servers are placed in a data center - the temperature is around 18 degrees C

  We are facing a severe heating up on problem of the chasiss just above the raid controller

  When the servers are placed one above the other as they are usually placed in a datacenter of the servers heat up between 50, 4-57 degrees celcius

  Support Dell changed the motherboard, raid card, power supply etc. of one of the above servers which is off-production (heating to 50.4 degrees Celsius), but the problem is not resolved

  Thorough review of the raid controller card, I noted that the fins of the radiator on top of map of raid controller - instead of being parallel to the open air is actually perpendicular to the flow of air and is actually trap heat

  the same card in a r.620 server has the fins of the heatsink in parallel to the air flow which remains cool

  has someone else in this forum has noted this and are facing such a heating problem?

  could you please check this and let me know the resolution of this problem

  the heatsink orientation of 90 degrees so that the fins of the radiator are parallel in the open air?

  Thanks for your help

  the dset report displays normal temperatures since it measures the temperature at the entrance (26-28 degrees C) and the temperature of the cpu (57-62 ° c).

  The server works as expected. There is nothing to fix. This has been reported before, and we investigated it. Our generation servers 12 had a massive overhaul with thermal and acoustic design. For this reason, the chassis can become hot to the touch at the back of the system, but it poses no risk to the system components.

  You can change the default fan control to increase the airflow and reduce the temperature of the exhaust gases, but this will increase the use of sound and electricity. Go to the iDRAC - iDRAC settings > thermal. Change the user Option to compensate for fan speed and set the offset of the fan speed to compensate for high fan speed.

  Thank you

• Reference Dell 2950 Perc 6/i Raid card device driver

  Good morning community, I'm trying to find the Dell 2950 Perc 6/i Raid adapter Device Driver for Windows 2008 R2 Standard OS. Thanks in advance for your help. Modem489

  You don't need to load a driver for the PERC 6 / i in Server 2008 or newer version, the driver is 'native' for Windows.  If you think that you need a driver, I suspect it is because you tried to install and it is not all discs.  If Yes, do not forget that PERC does NOT support RAID/JBOD, then you must configure disks to a virtual disk (VD, matrix RAID) before they can be presented to the OS.  It can be configured in the CTRL-R utility (be sure to check the boxes of progress/Initialize options too).

• Promise FastTrak Tx4660 - Raid card

  Hi all

  I try to install esxi 4.1 with a Raid, FastTrak TX4660 card.  I understand that it is not listed under vmware hcl or hcl whitebox.

  I hope to customize Setup and to include the driver for this raid card.  But I'm not a linux guy and I know it's going to difficult for me but I hope to make it.

  Can someone please guide me on how I can include the driver for Tx4660 in esxi or how I can use this raid with esxi card using a different way to install esxi...

  Thanks in advance.

  Welcome to communities

  I do not think it is a hardware based RAID controller and depends on the software to provide RAID calculations. It would be not supported in ESXi even if you did not have a pilot. If you need RAID then see if you can find a Dell Perc 5 card online. The card is pretty cheap and is supported with ESXi.

  Have you tried the following: enter in your browser (IE, Firefox, or Chrome) and in the box enter the address bar:

  Which doesn't give you all the access you need? I just updated the firmware to 1.49 and installed new drivers 6.20.00.22 and it worked perfectly for me.

• How can I remove a hard disk to the raid set default and replace it with a new one

  Last Friday apparently began one of my raid drives failing.

  As I said on this forum I started having continuous beep.

  I was finally able to get the raid works at a degraded level.  I ordered a replacement hard drive, that happened today.

  (In the meantime, I made twice daily backups of my work...)

  Below is the message that I have the raid of browser-based software:

  (See this thread sooner if you wish!)

  http://forums.Adobe.com/thread/727867?TSTART=0

  
  At any given time when I did the checked the browser interface, I have seen the message failed and degraded

  As I said, I was able to work this weekend on the degraded system.

  This morning I had the new tone and made the rescue and now I use a "full raid" without the advice that a raid was 'free '.

  In all cases, the new drive arrived today.

  Should what precautions I take to integrate the new drive in the raid system.

  I have an OS disk

  and raid 4 TB drives.   One needs to be replaced with the new one I get today.

  Thank you

  Rowby,

  You currently have your background priority set to 20% IIRC, so it will take time to rebuild, but probably a lot less than 24 hours as for new construction. Even with 20% defined, I guess that it will be done in less than 12 hours, but you can set the background priority to 50% and it will be much faster at the expense of access to your raid. Reconstruction of the background is designed to give you access to all your data files and to continue the work, while the data is being rebuilt. You can continue your work, so if it takes 8 or 12 hours to find the full data intergrity isn't all that relevant. Your aura a functional slower than with a raid reaction complete, but has more speed than a single disk.

  Hi, Richard,.

  What version of Windows are you using?

  You may have a hardware problem that requires a repair

  The drive was working properly so far?

  Were there changes to the system?

  Have you tried uninstalling the driver in Device Manager?  If not, do it and restart the system.  Windows reinstalls the driver.  Then go to the manufacturer website and search for an updated driver.

• 23 envy d027c All In One with the card mother Lavaca3-SB IPISB - NK. How to upgrade the video card?

  I have a HP Envy 23 d027c All In One with the card mother Lavaca3-SB (pegatron) IPISB-NK.  It has a PCI slot available for upgrade of the video.  I want to do this.  I intend to use the pc for video processing and maybe a few games.

  How to pass the video?

  What cards are best for this system?

  What has changed in the BIOS or other settings I should do?  How can I get them?

  Thank you

  Art

  The PCIe MXM slot is for HP install graphics cards in some models CTO (configure-to-order). Without the card installed when you purchased the computer, there the fan and radiator bad sets. You will need to buy a graphics card and the heatsink / fan of HP to try to upgrade the GPU in your computer. There is an extensive disassembly involved in this procedure. All-in-One computers have much more in common with laptops than they do with traditional desktop computers.

  Honestly, if you want to do video processing and games... you should get a traditional desktop with enough CPU and GPU for these activities.
