• PERC H330 and Raid 5, try adding another SATA drive raid 5 array

  Hi all

  I have one server PowerEdge T330 with 8 slots of disc and have currently 3 SATA drives running a raid 5 configuration.  I have a virtual disk configured for Raid (must).

  The operating system recognizes the disk and is able to use the resources...

  My desire is to add another hard drive to the table (hard disks of the same size, same brand, etc.) with 4 disks without losing any data.

  I looked in the settings of the iDrac and the only adjustment was to add the new disk as a global hot spare or a hot spare dedicated to the virtual drive.

  I also looked in the BIOS and do not see a way to add the new drive.

  Does anyone know how to increase capacity?  I can blow the virtual drive if necessary and start over without problem.  I intend to gradually accomplish this Act until adding 8 disks. (5 times).

  Help!

  Hello.

  Management controllers RAID and tables is not made in the BIOS iDRAC or systems. For the management of the RAID (virtual disks) arrays, you have OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA). If not installed, see the link: http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=TK61C once installed, go to-> Storage->-> H330 PERC controllers-> virtual disk--> sub tasks available-> select reconfigure and run-> then check a box to add the fourth disk on the next page. Follow the prompts and allows you to extend your range of RAID 5.

• Can I add another hard drive to my Mac Pro?

  End of 2013

  3.7 GHz quad core Xeon E5

  16 GB of ram

  500 GB Flash

  Ive run out of hard drive space. Can I add another flash drive or is it better to buy an external hard drive? If external which is more reliable Thunderbolt or USB 3?

  Go on everymac.com and find your model of Mac Pro for a good list of specifications and upgrade opportunities.

  I know "reliable." Limits of reliability are probably based on the envelope model and model also in car inside (not always easy to find) rather than the type of connection. Thunderbolt is probably faster but still a somewhat unusual connector to find so if you are looking for less cotly a USB3 will be cheaper and there will be more models available. Make sure you know that there is a reliable drive inside.

• I want to add another hard drive to my computer pls HELP

  OK, so I want to add another hard drive for my windows xp, 512 MB of ram and 32 GB of hard drive and it's a Dell Dimension 3000/desktop PC.

  How can I get a new one, how do I know if it is the right type, where I'd get a? Thank you for your help :D

  You look at the manual of your system, see what kind of connection there / what lead types/sizes it can manage and buy appropriately.

  However - given the age of this system - I'm just down, buy an external USB drive and use it.  You will eventually be able to take to any machine use - including the one that replaces the one you have.

• PE R510 of the SAS addition to the installed system with SATA drives

  Hello

  We have a server PE510 that came with 2 drives 2 TB SATA 7.2 k and a Controller PERC SAS 6/iR.   The servers of the machine as a SQL server (its original purpose) and later on, a busy file server.  The file server role was not originally intended for this machine.  What we are seeing is very bad I/O bottleneck during daily use, although only about a dozen people access to this server.   (I got the system extracted by pressing more than once).

  I wonder if replace drives with SAS will help solve this problem.  There are 6 empty bays on the system.

  Would I be able to add 3-6 SAS disks to this system (in addition to the installed SATA disks), in order to create a new RAID volume and move the files to it on SATA volumes?   The existing SATA drives are in a RAID1 volume.

  Thank you

  Thank you

  I wonder if replace drives with SAS will help solve this problem.  There are 6 empty bays on the system.

  Replacement by SAS will probably help, but your bottleneck is your controller, not your type of disc.  There is no easy way to migrate a Windows installation of a SAS 6/iR to a PERC 6 / i, but if you were to move the PERC, you will see a substantial improvement.  The other problem is that, because you can not mix SAS and SATA disks in a virtual disk, you would have to do a backup/restore for the SAS VD (you would not be able to rebuild a SAS drive in the existing table to replace one at a time).

  Would I be able to add 3-6 SAS disks to this system (in addition to the installed SATA disks), in order to create a new RAID volume and move the files to it on SATA volumes?

  Yes, you can add the SAS drives for the system and more SATA drives.  Note, however, that 1) the SAS 6/iR controller only supports 2 virtual drives, while a VD can be added, and 2) the SAS 6/iR controller only supports RAID 0 and 1, would be so the only way to add disks "3-6" in a RAID 0, which leaves your data at extreme risk.

• Configuration of the BIOS XW8600 for SSD and HDD

  Until recently, my xw8600 has been configured with the emulation of SATA under storage on the separate IDE controller Options.  250 GB hard drives connected to the SATA 1 and SATA ports 0 and readers of DVD RW Drive connected to 2 SATA and SATA 3 ports.

  I wanted to install a GTX240 Neutron Corsair SSD, but discovered when I changed the SATA RAID + DCIS emulation (to activate all 5 ports of SATA controller and optimize the performance of the SSD), the system could not find the boot drive.  I checked the startup command settings and found the slot drive HARD listed title module of memory into the attached USB printer HP Officejet 7500 a first and could not be changed.

  I decided to go back to SATA IDE emulation separate, remove the optical drive on SATA 2 port and attach the SSD it.  This facility is expected to start successfully; but after installing windows 7 x 64 on the SSD (Windows XP, x 64, still on the HARD drive), I found Windows 7 has been very very slow.

  Can anyone offer any suggestions or comments on how I can improve this situation?

  Thanks for any help, you can suggest.

  What is an installation of Windows 7 Pro 64 - bit of a retail installation DVD purchase, or something HP?  If I remember well Vista 64 was the latest HP OS with sold.  In this case you won't have to deal with a set of HP restore disks.  I would never do an "upgrade" of a prior installation of OS in W7.  I only do not clean install W7 on a freshly long-type reformatted hard drive or an SSD.  I buy my "system builder" OEM license W7Pro 64 - bit DVD/COA from newegg.com (you can find that many sources and approximately 140.00 each).

  Plan to do a clean install on this SSD from scratch and when you format before that settle does long formatting version, while it is booted from the W7 DVD.  That will take some time.  Or, if you have a functioning before the OS install on a hard drive, you can restore the xw8600 you can connect the SSD in the second or third SATA port and reformat (long version) management of records like this.

  The boot drive or SSD, Spinner, must always be connected to the primary SATA port, which in these workstations, is usually blue plastic, while the rest are a dark black.

  Make sure that your BIOS is later... There was a version for this and the xw6600 with a few months ago.  It is an important.

  Put the SSD in your favorite mount, hang it in the main SATA port, prepare the W7 DVD in the DVD drive (which should be attached to the second port SATA or IDE cable if it's a DVD ATA drive). Throwing xw8600, go straight into the BIOS and go to which you can change the SATA emulation.  Change that on "RAID + AHCI.  Save on the way out of the BIOS, and the workstation will now reboot usually requiring formal approval of the change F1.

  Demarrer start on the DVD, select clean install and things will be fine.  I usually set my boot order to start hard drive/SSD first and second optical drive.  Then, when I load an OS I just use the F9 key during the early start to switch to the DVD player for this single event.

  It's the key information: If you have correctly set to "RAID + AHCI" SATA emulation for the W7 installation process, then the appropriate drivers will not be loaded from the DVD on the startup disk, and you won't receive anywhere near your expected speed.  I helped a friend who had done exactly what you did, and when we corrected things literally double SSD performance scores.  I recommend that the reformatting/clean reinstall from zero here, because you want to really perfect the basics and the way he was treated initially can leave you with a few important questions.

  After you have things working with the SSD and the DVD player you can add in your other material sequentially.  I would like to make a reboot between each addition, just be very careful.  Some old HP DVD drives have a problem with W764 loading during the emulation of the SATA BIOS is set correctly and there is a solution for this, but you don't want from now this info.

  All the advice I have written in this forum about the xw6400 installs apply to the xw6600 and xw8600, including information on the upgrades of the processor.

  Let us know how things are, so that others can enjoy...

• PROTECTED P4000 - update the BIOS without a floppy drive

  Hello

  I have a P4000 protégé who, I believe, was initially purchased without floppy drive. Now that I'm the Win XP operating system upgrade I need to install more memory, and like many other forum members point out it will not work without a BIOS update.

  However the BIOS available on the site is for the installation of Tranditional only and requires a floppy drive (which I did not). Is it possible to obtain a version that runs under Windows, or find another way to start the traditional installation? The site seems to suggest that the installation of Windows is favored, but the software is not provided.

  Thank you.

  Hello Sir

  As much as I know upgrade memory is not dependent on the latest version of the BIOS, and if you use compatible module there are not any problem. Anyway, I'm not 100% sure but I think you can do the BIOS update using the SD card.

  If you have the time and opportunities please try it and let us know if it works.

  By the way: all the updates to the BIOS are on the Toshiba download page and there are no other versions.

  Good bye

• No option AHCI in the BIOS. DVD SATA as IDE burner.

  Hello, I am new to the forum and need advice, else why would I be here, no?

  I have a desktop HP Pavilion a610n with the AMD Athlon 3000 + CPU. I upgraded from XP to Windows 7 Home Premium. I borrowed an IDE DVD drive to install the new system because the original HP drive stopped working.

  After installation, I bought a new 24 X Multiformat DVD Writer (DVD 1270i HP) and connected on one of two SATA connectors on the motherboard (since both tried) and bought an adapter for the power supply connection (4-pin Molex to 15-pin SATA). Start the computer and the device has been installed and all seemed well until I put an audio CD in the drive and it just sat there with the ridiculous small icon rolling around. I tried a DVD in there then and it froze the computer.

  I then went in the implementation to see if there was an option to switch from IDE to SATA AHCI, but there isn't. In the Device Manager DVD appears as an IDE drive I think I need some sort of update BIOS to enable SATA support. HP support has no new BIOS download for this computer on their download page. Only XP is listed as an operating system.  My only option is to return the drive and get an IDE model?

  Sorry for the novel, but I tried to give a complete description of my attempts at resolution. Thanks for any advice you can give!

  Kernal Klink

  Kernal, welcome to the forum.

  I checked the specifications of the product for an update of the BIOS. There is an update of the BIOS, but it is only for XP Home Media Center. The BIOS is dated 25/08/2005. It wouldn't fix all problems you encounter at this stage. You can try to reinstall XP and do the BIOS update, but as I said, it does not seem to fix all your problems.

  I think that I return the drive and save your money for a new computer. You have nothing to lose and much to gain.

• Tecra S3 - cannot access the configuration of the BIOS 2 Page / can not peripheral chance to start

  Hello!

  I just bought a laptop Tecra S3 from ebay.
  I turned it on a TI said "NTLDR is missing". Good I thing the guy who sold it has erased its data from the hard drive, no problem I'll install a new Windows XP.
  But... now the problem.
  When the laptop iss merchandising, I hold down the 'ESC' key, then press 'F1' for the BIOS.
  Everything is fine.
  But I can not go on the Page 2 of the BIOS. PGUP/PGDOWN has failed. I also tried with an external keyboard.
  I read that the manual (PDF) that says "Hit F12 to go to the Bootdevice selection."
  But that din't work.
  At the start of the laptop it does show that for a second half the Toshiba screen, even when I hit F12.

  What can I do to make the laptop CD/DVD boot? Or how can I enter the bootscreen or BIOS Page 2?

  Greetings from the Germany,
  Holger

  Start your laptop and press F12 to get into the boot menu.
  Has chosen the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER.

  Optical drive will serve as first boot device.

  You can also try with the C key.

  Place the bootable disk in the disk drive, start your laptop and press the C key several times. This will force it's STRANGE to be the first boot device.

• Cannot get into the BIOS on my Sat A30

  Hi all

  I have problems to enter the BIOS. I heard when I want to get into the BIOS I have to press the ESC key when Toshiba logo is shown in the startup.

  But nothing happens!

  Could someone help me?

  Sammy23

  Hi Sammy23
  That is right. It's actually the ESC you press. But there is more to know. During the time where appears the Toshiba logo, that represents about 1.5 seconds or so machine "listens" for the ESC at the beginning.
  Means that you have to be quick like a cat to press ESC. I usually press ESC several times all the way to the market (until the Toshiba Logo is displayed). Try this. Another way to get into the BIOS uses Toshiba HWSetup (looks like a key any) in the in the Windows Control Panel. You can access almost all the parameters of the BIOS from there.

• NB200-110 won't start or allow the configuration of the BIOS

  Hello

  I am new to the forum and this is my first post.
  I help my father with the diagnosis of its mini notebook.
  Model is NB 200-110.

  In recent months, the laptop had a hard time to start.
  But after several tries, it would normally be finally start and run normally.
  Two weeks ago, the laptop won't boot is no longer at all.
  When turn on/off, you can hear some noises (HD or fan?) then the 'Toshiba Leading Innovation' screen will be displayed, but it won't pass this point.

  On the lower part of the screen, you are prompted to press F2 to enter setup BIOS or F12 to change the start-up devices, but it will respond to any key (as if no current keyboard).
  I guess that some of the material is a failure, but y at - it a way of knowing what part exactly?

  Thanks in advance for your help.
  Jean-Christophe

  Hello and welcome

  On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is here, and it is not easy to offer the exact diagnosis. Unplug the power plug, remove the battery and press the power button for about 20 seconds.
  After having done that connect the power supply only and try to start your machine. Watch carefully what happens.
  Try again with F2, F8 or F12 at the beginning upward.
  You can also try is to remove the RAM and HARD drive modules and test what happens when you do this.

  You know it's strange, if you can enter even the parameters of the BIOS, this first stage where mobile of first hardware.
