Need recommendation: A better card from PCI RAID to ESXi 3.5

I'm trying to install VMWare ESXi 3.5 on an old Dell Poweredge 750 server, which has two available PCI slots.  I know that the integrated SATA does not work and I need to have 2 x 2 TB disks installed on it, but realize that there is a maximum size of 2 TB disk volumes, so I was going to make a RAID 1 configuration with a slightly smaller total capacity of 2 TB under the limit of ESXi.

I tried with a map of 3Ware 8006, but although it recognizes my drives very well, ESXi doesn't like it (complains there is no disk to install to).  I then tried a SIL chipset cheap raid card that ESXi liked ok, but does not start at the start of.  I used the Adaptec PCI RAID cards before with great success, but I don't know if the old PCI cards to support drives of 2 TB on them.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a PCI (not PCI-e) decent, inexpensive that will support ESXi 3.5 and SATA 2 x 2 TB disks?

Thank you

Myles

Adaptec 2610 is PCI - X, which can be adapted to your PCI slot, but you must see if you have the space for the unused portion of the card PCI (X) to clear the components of the motherboard. PCI will be limited to 1.5 GB, so your big SATA drives will be slow. Unless you have the battery backup cache writing that read/write performance will be poor.

  • Satellite A200 - I can boot from PCI express card?

    I have a laptop A200.

    I recently bought a PCI expresscard HD. Many people have asked this question already on many sites and regarding several different brands and models of laptops. According to anadtech and other techys the only way to do an ExpressCard hd is updated the BIOS. During the installation of Windows it says that it canoe on the device because the BIOS is not able to boot from it.

    Toshiba creates a new BIOS to allow starting the expresscard hd or not Toshiba have a laptop model that will allow already, as im thinking of buying a new laptop but only if this option is available.

    There someone using windows vista/xp knows a way round.

    Hello

    As far as I know it s not possible to boot from PCI express card on Satellite A200.
    In addition these books where you can boot from this slot are not known to me. Only the options HDD, CD/DVD, USB and network, but all that s.

    In addition, I put t know what you mean with PCI expresscard HD.
    Is what exactly?

  • Adding a graphics card from nVidia GT640 to a new desktop HP Envy

    Since buying a new HP ENVY 700-147c desktop PC and a new nVidia GEForce 640 GE video card on in November 2013 (cybermonday sales), I could not have the HP Envy boot with the GE 640 card in place. After hitting the Start button, with one of the HDMI ports allow (same results using a VGA > HDMI adapter), I get a series of POST messages is with the screens VGA HDMI to stay black.

    I removed internally AMD video drivers such as recommended by the technical support from nVidia, but with the same results. When I removed the card GE 640, the Win 8.1 has reset the original drivers, and I can run off the coast of the internal VGA / HDMI ports on the desire, but with much lower resolution than the 640 GE would allow card.

    I repeated this procedure and checked the BIOS to see if there is an adjustment could be made, but none have been noted... Please advise if I have missed anything in the BIOS of envy.

    I repeated the procedure with a well-known nVidia GEForce 9500GT card from another HP Pavilion PC running Windows 7 Pro. Power over the results were the same. black screens with POST messages about 4-5 seconds after switching on.

    After the withdrawal of the 9500GT card, I was still able to operate with the integrated graphic card HP Envy.

    Please advise on how I can add the GE 640 card, I bought the new envy, for graphics work I do.

    Hello:

    You need to change two settings of the BIOS, then reinstall your new video card.

  • Replacing a graphics card from NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT for a HP PAVILION ELITE

    I'm looking for a replacement for a graphics card from NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT for a HP PAVILION ELITE M9361. UK - A DESKTOP PC (EMEA) which has a number of product KZ758AAR.

    The PC is not used for games, but for the treatment of the graphic image.

    I believe that a

    PNY GTX 550 TI PCIe 2.0 Graphics Card - 1 GB

    can be a suitable replacement.

    Can you please advise.

    Excellent choice. The card fits, and your power supply meets the minimum required.

    Fortunately, the PNY graphics card comes with the power cable PCIE 2 you will need.

  • Do I need a new graphics card

    I have a HP Pavilion Slimline s3400f running Windows 7 32 bit.  I have a HP x 2301 monitor.  I need a new graphics card to take advantage of the speed of 3 ms of the monitor?  I can renovate such a card?

    Hello

    Very nice monitor. The HP Slimline s3400f PC has only a power of 160 watts power is a big problem for the addition of a discrete video card that would allow you to use digital instead of analog video video.  You will see an improvement in the quality of the image with the digital video.

    It is possible to replace the power supply and add it to a profile low low-power video card.

    Contact Athena and get a recommendation of the PSU. HP Slimline power of Athena. There are also mini-ATX converter cable.  If you get a 220 watt PSU then the below video cards should work.

    Look here in HP Partsurfer for video cards that are used in the new Slimline models with a 220 Watt power supply.  These cards have been made specifically for the HP Slimline PC with a 220 watt power supply.

  • Need a new graphics card

    The graphics card on my HP e9200z aw017 is fried because the fan stopped woking.  The graphics card is a Radeon 4650 4.

    This graphic cards sell HP which is compatible with this machine and my monitor does high definition?

    I suggest remove all your old graphics card cover plate will allow you to continue to use it. What I suggest is to remove the cover of the card (onboard) graphics on board port will allow you to continue to use the computer without graphics card installed. Please refer to the 3 and 13 below;

    1 - two 1.2 USB 1.1 for mouse and keyboard ports

    2 - S/PDIF optical audio port

    3 - port video graphics card

    4 - 1394 (FireWire)

    5 RJ45 Network (LAN)

    6. audio: Speaker of Center/Subwoofer out

    7. audio: rear speaker output

    8. audio: line

    9. audio: before line/speaker output

    10. audio: Microphone

    11. audio: output speaker side

    12 USB 2.0: 4

    13 - DVI - D port

    To continue using your computer while you wait for the replacement of the discreet graphics card, remove the existing card from the PCIe x 16 internal slot and remove the black plastic plate external (VGA or DVI) that says: "do not remove" the video ports shipped. Now, plug your monitor into one of these ports. Arrival of the new card, install it, and replace the plate to prevent you from the monitor on the wrong port.

  • Card mini pci in a Satellite P10

    Did someone not already install a mini pci card in his toshiba P10?

    I recently tried with a mini pci card from intel (2915 a/b/g) but cannot make it work (because no centrino technology, I think).

    Do you know wich type of card could work with my toshiba p10?

    Thanks in advance for your answers.
    See you soon...

    Hello

    I do not know what P10 - xxx you have exactly, but I found the info you can use network cards wireless to follow-up with your Satellite P10:
    PA3212U-4MPC (Agere 802. 11b)
    PA3300U-1MPC (Atheros 802.11 g)
    PA3298U-1MPC (Atheros 802. 11a / g)

    Bye and good luck!

  • My mouse wireless guard saying lost connection.  I thought that it may need a new Bluetooth card.  An idea of the cost if I do it?

    My mouse wireless guard saying "lost connection".  It takes time for it to reconnect.  Wireless keyboard is OK.  Apple store said that it may need a new Bluetooth "card."  Any idea the cost if necessary.   I tried a new mouse, with the same results.  Having to use a "wired" mouse now taking a much-needed port on my iMac.

    I return to the store and get a better answer. Material, of course, could be the problem. As far as I know, there is no such 'map '.

    Reset the PRAM and SMC... can't hurt, might help.

  • Presario SR1913WM video cards compatible PCIe


    Your SR1913WM uses a motherboard Nagami2L GL8 which is more or less the same card that is in my HP and Compaq SR1910NX a1632x. I have no problem using an OEM HP PCIe x 16 AMD Radeon HD 6450 v2.0 on these systems. If you buy a graphics card in sales at retail, you may also need to replace your power supply to meet the needs of the new card. Many of these graphics NVIDIA G/GT cards for Newegg.com should work for you, if you have or install a 300 Watt power supply.

  • The second image lost in CAN communication when use card NI PCI-CAN/XS2

    I recently had a problem on CAN communication.

    I need commmunicate a Cluster with CAN BUS, baud rate is 500 Kbps, the BOX is card NI PCI-CAN/XS2. The operating system is Windows XP.

    normally, the PC send a Cluster command, then reread a frame of data of the Cluster, but for some controls, the Cluster will return two data frames, and the program on PC cannot receive the second frame, he lost.

    I searched the forum, most of her results is the overflow of CAN BUS error, which make the CAN setting lost, but there is not an error on my program report and baud rate is not that fast, I also use another port of the NI PCI-CAN/XS2 to monitor the bus CAN, the second frame of data never appear When I can replace NI CAN map vector CanCaseXL (CAN card) and call of CanCaseXL DLLS in labVIEW, it can get the second CAN fit, the vector CanCaseXL monitor can get the second image data also.

    Yes, is there a software/hardware configuration must be done to get the second block of data?

    the attached photos are NOR-CAN/vector ALLOWS to follow and CAN init/write & read in my program.

    Any reply is appreciate! Thank you

    Hello iwantofly014,

    I don't know that the framework is not lost.

    Could you post your code?  In particular the data Get VI?

    Also, can you make an indicator of the output of the ncReadNetMult?

    It seems you are trying to implement the UDS and KWP2000 Protocol.  Is this possible?  We have a product that already implements these two protocols and really simplify this type of application.  Its called the Automotive Diagnostic command set.

    Have a great day.

  • PC Specs for card NI PCIe-1427

    I am currently working on a project that will use a card NI PCIe-1427. The engineer has a specification for a 6 core dual processor system. I think it is exaggerated. I think that a single 6 core processor will have enough speed for the system. I have no experience with this card. Can anyone weigh recommendations?

    The acquisition of the image will not take much processor power.  Probably a small fraction of the base.  The rest of the processors will be used for image processing and other functions.  The number of cores necessary depends on what will be done with the images and how fast to do.

    I suspect that the engineer who has selected the plans of the computer to do a lot of processing.  However, total 12 heart sounds like it might be overkill.

  • IBM Thinkpad with XP Home Edition preinstalled but no XP installation CD. Will need to re - install XP from CD after planned hard drive upgrade. How can I create a CD to install XP from the installed system?

    Hi, I bought an IBM Thinkpad with XP Home Edition pre-loaded in 2005 (the XP key sticker is on the bottom of the laptop), but did not receive an XP installation CD - I understand, it is a common practice. I want to improve the internal hard drive (for a bigger) then you will need to re - install XP from CD. They tell me that there is a way to create the XP (on the CD burner) installation installation CD but have no idea how. I can't imagine I'm the only person to have had this problem. Can you tell me where I can find the instructions how to do this please? Any help is welcome. Thank you very much.

    There are many cloning utilities, but I recommend Acronis True Image. You can clone your hard drive, then use TI to the image of your system and to make incremental backups. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!
