PowerEdge R630 - adding a SATA drive

Hello

We have a new Poweredge R630, who arrived with 4 x 300 GB SAS disks in RAID 5 turns. All is well with them.

However, we would also use a SATA (SSD) (we have an exceptional SV300S3 extreme of Kingston). We insert it with a basket of spare and set it up as a new virtual disk, it seems fine. The only doubt I have is that if we can leave it without an AIRLOCK inserter in front of her. More precisely:

(1) the leap card would increase its performance? Or the bottleneck would be the SATA: Rev 3.0 (6 Gb/s) interface of the SSD even?

(2) only the fact that the SSD is attached like SATA hampers, somehow, 4 SAS drives running?

(3) if we wanted to add an inserter, which part number should we buy?

Just to be complete: the performance now seems acceptable farily (but I have no clear reference in mind). In a reading test sequential, it works a bit worse than the readers of spinning (~ 360 MB/s against ~ 595 MB/s), but on a random read/write test, it surpasses clearly them (~ 10 x are PAHO / s).

Hello

No, one leap is not necessary, does not affect the performance and will not affect the performance of SAS drives only.

I do not show a disk for the R630 support option that includes an inserter or a separately listed inserter.

Thank you

  • 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.

  • ESXi on SATA drives

    Is it possible to run ESXi on a Dell PowerEdge T300 server with SATA drives and a single dual-core processor? When I try to install installation encounters an unrecoverable error: no supported device not found to install the VMWare ESXi 3.5.0 image. "Is it because I don't have SCSI drives?

    It is more likely the driver specific ESXi is loading for the controller.  Take a look at the last link, and if you still have questions could you post the model and the id for the storage controller PCI?  For controllers of type ICH ESXi does not support RAID arrays just in case this is your configuration.

  • You can mix SAS and SATA drives in a RAID 1 PowerEdge T110 II configuration

    Hello

    I have a RAID 1 configuration and one of the two drives in the array has failed.  I've removed and replaced by another drive hoping the Dell Perc adapter H200 would rebuild the mirror automatically, but it does not.  In Server Admin OpenManage virtual disk displays as degraded.  The issue I think may be the replacement drive is SATA where the original was SAS.

    Is there a way you can make the adapter accepts a SATA drive or is it simply not supported?

    SIV

    Hello.

    Dell controllers, including the H200 are not supported mixing SAS, SATA or SSD in the same table. They may, however, each separately constitute a virtual disk on the same controller. Consider replacing the disk failing another identical or higher capacity SAS drive.

  • adding sata drive

    My old drive died yesterday and I ran and bought a SATA 500 GB, after checking and seeing that my NX 1300 had two ports of sata connection.  Now, neither the Western Digital software or install Windows will recognize this drive.  Those who are not functional SATA connections.  I lost a lot of money if this is the case

    The motherboard comes with SR1300NX comes with SATA-150 controller for 2-port ATA series. It is a SATA Port of the previous generation. New SATA drives may not work with these older ports. Please try to install a SATA hard drive supporting SATA 150.

  • HP envy 750: attempt to add to new PC SATA drive

    You want new 750-150xt to which I want to add my old Pavilion 6380 640 GB SATA drive.  6380 road was only the disk and the disk to boot under Windows 7 64-bit.  Envy has a 256GB SSD as boot drive and a data HD 1 TB drive.

    Pulled out of 6380 and added to the Bay, third player hooked up a new "SATA3" on MB black SATA cable and power cable to the drive then gave.  Noticed in passing that my SATA cable did not have a ground wire wrapped with her which was attached to the chassis of the new PC.

    By turning on the PC, it would not go beyond the HP splash screen.   Disconnected former player and removed, and the envy of 150 started very well except the logon screen "grated" for 1-2 seconds, then stabilized.  Seems to work normally.

    FYI - SATA3 socket on MB was a red taken versus black and only available SATA labeled sockets.  Others were all occupied.

    Any thoughts?

    So what is the connected CD drive? Must be the SATA 2. If she jumps from the 1 SATA to SATA 3 something should be available here. The question is not only the availability of a place to connect, it is that the software has progressed where you were with this player and Windows 8/10 uses a completely different approach to find and boot from hard drives.

  • Satellite P300-16 t - adding a second drive HARD-success!

    I have added a second hard drive today for my Toshiba P300-16 t.

    I realized that I had a Toshiba SATA drive in a USB disk device that would spare - 250 gb.

    I improvised by removing the feet spread on the cover of the second cage to hard disk using a sharp knife. I put the Bank in place ensuring maximum safety. I also used a heat-resistant material (say what) to secure the drive up as readers are rarer than hen's teeth. I made sure that the reader also had room to breathe. The cover was then released and I turned on my computer and it found the new HDD, the installed drivers at home but hey presto! Another 250 GB to play with.

    Now, I did it is because I call four FSA in the United Kingdom but they weren't any help by providing a cage for the second disc.
    Two said they only deal with businesses and not individuals.
    Others have said that they only provide power cables and batteries!
    Hope that my Tosh never goes down and I must use their services...

    Anyway, I don't recommend anyone do what I just - it is possible if you are a bit adventurous...

    Have you used the Hotglue?

    Surely, you can get the FSA HARD drive media. Unless there is a global shortage on cradles P300: p

  • PowerEdge T110 II/PERC H200 drive Expansion Question

    We have a server PowerEdge T110-11 with two 600 GB 15K SCSI disks in a RAID 1 configuration via a PERC H200 controller.  This server is used in a production environment.  We want to add an extra internal drive on the server, but the readers (or reader) not be used for archival purposes.  Check-in will be only done periodically at defined intervals.  The plan of production a need for speed and redundancy of the RAID/SCSI setting.  The drive to check-in will not.  I don't know what is supported by the PERC H200 beyond two units SCSI that we have.  How would you recommend that we do that?  Should we buy two SATA drives and use them in a RAID 1 configuration as we have for SCSI drives?  All readers are saved on a Dell RD1000 disk cartridge system, in a way.  I don't know if we need RAID for this disk to archive, because it will be backed up regularly.  Others grow here to use an external USB drive for archiving, due to their very low cost.

    Thanks for your suggestions, you can offer.

    Hello.

    Support-T110 II up to 6 hard drives. It wouldn't hurt to implement these drives in RAID 1 or RAID 5 (for more than 2 disks) configuration just in case of failure before the archive is saved. If your archive is not so important, you can set the drives in RAID 0.

  • 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).

    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/add another SATA drive

    I just added a 500 GB Sata Drive in my Dell8300. I cloned it with the info of the Sata 120 GB drive came with the system.

    I left the orig. cable/HDD attached as he was to the Mboard and plugged the new drive in the free sata connection.

    When I go into the bios, the only way I can get the new boot disk is to turn off the device of the orig. If this isn't the case, it will boot to the old drive.

    I guess I have to swap the cables on the sata connector of Mboard for him to start again disc? Or, can I I put in place in the Bios to do? (I tried, but in vain)

    Also, when I get it started properly, how can I do to get Windows XP to show both drives in Explorer? At present, if I have two drives is enabled in the bios, it will start on the old disk, but not to show new disc in Explorer...

    Just a guess here, but I wonder if, because the old drive has been cloned on the new drive, I have to rename the drive letters to get to show?

  • Migrating to SATA drive to iMac

    Four days ago my MacPro (2010) died. I have four 3 "SATA drives from 1 to 2 to each of Mac Pro. The computer was for business and personal use. Absolutely everything (including financial information) I have is on these four discs, including redundant copies of some files, but also my Time Machine backup.

    I will have an envelope coming tomorrow which is a RAID box but will be executed in the independent drive with four drives Mode. My 'new' computer is an iMac (2013), that was given to me.  The iMac and the main SATA drive running the same version of the operating system. I need to resolve this issue quickly so I can return to work. In the immediate future, I intend to operate out of the primary SATA drive to catch up, and then transfer when I'll have a good time to transfer.

    My question is the best way to get the entire contents of the primary SATA drive on the iMac's hard drive. I want everything that is on the main SATA drive to put to be on the iMac (including the prefs and hidden folders) of Mac Pro and it would be the same when I booted the Mac Pro.

    Can I use migration utility, clone the drive SATA main to the iMac or even use the Time Machine backup?

    If I clone the drive, I know that I would have to boot from one disk other than the iMac drive to clone to the iMac. When the primary SATA drive is attached, I need to boot from it by holding down the option key at startup key to select the startup disk.

    If I use the Migration utility, it seems I start the iMac, and then run the utility to the iMac of the SATA drive range, which would be connected to the iMac. This would replace all the information on the iMac even though it was the boot drive?

    I printed the information on the Migration of Apple Mac help when transferring to another storage device, but it's not quite clear to me.

    Hello

    I have a satellite pro p200 - 17 c I've had good years, allways worked without any problem.

    Last week when I booted the laptop, windows won't load and I find myself safe mode selection screen. No options whatsoever me to windows loading, I tried F8 and still nothing.

    I tried the restore cd that reimagee the drive but I get the same thing, I tried a new hard drive, once again the same.

    But if I try to load windows from an OEM to install that software does not because it is a sata drive and there is no floppy drive. I have an external floppy drive I use, but it is not known now.

    Any ideas or suggestions?

    Hello

    Go to BIOS and set it to default settings.

    In this case the SATA mode must be on AHCI. In this case the SATA drivers are required to install the Windows operating system. But as much as I know that Windows 7 already contains the SATA drivers if usually you don t had to add SATA drivers while OS installation the installation program.

    However, here is a nice HowTo document that helps you add SATA drivers for Win XP installation disc.

  • Satego X 200 - 21U - where to find the XP SATA driver for install XP

    I have laptop Satego X 200 - 21U with installed Windows Vista.
    Where can I find the driver for SATA drive so I could install Windows XP?
    HARD drive is Hitachi hts 541616j9sa00.

    Hello

    The SATA driver is part of the Intel Storage Manager.
    You can download the Storage Manager Intel since the European driver Toshiba page.

    The package contains the F6hlpy folder that contains the files needed for the SATA.

    These files must be included for the Windows XP CD using free software called nLite.

    Google for nLite to get and find more details.
