Aha! Wasn't familiar with Xcase - looks interesting! And with the shipping quotes Im seeing on eBay it looks like I might be just as well off buying new and 2nd hand.. :-/ Thanks Mike!

Hi All - I'm hoping you can help me. I'm based in Ireland - and whilst it's generally lovely here some things are just plain hard to come by. One such thing is sas Expanders.. well there are a few knocking about but they seem to all be 1000euro plus. I have an LSI9260-16i (I know this...

It made sense.. ..in addition to your reply I also sucessfully contacted the seller..who actually had tried his key in a lsi9260 board..for some reason the lsi board wouldn't detect the Intel key.. so I guess the answer is.. No - the Intel key wont work on the lsi board. as you mention...

Did anybody ever try connecting an Intel hw key to an LSI board?

Great stuff, Thanks. I'm happy to report that -for now at least- all is well.. I'm still awaiting a refund for the 1 drive that failed completely - but the rest of them appear to be doing well.

Thanks - you were spot on! The feature is in the "controller" section - if anybody else is reading this it's worth noting that you will only gain acess to the "WebBIOS" if you have a Virtual drive defined - fo some reason if you don't the system just gives you a line of text (but no time to...

I'll have another look around - all I could find was the "silence alarm" but that doesn't do anything permanent.. I was nearly scrabbling around boxes for my old soldering iron before I eventually dismantled the drive configuration. :-) I you happen to come across it pls let me know.

I'm on an Asus p9x79 pro. The onboards won't do raid5 in win7 .. How did you turn off the beeping, its killing me?

Did a bit more digging and found this... .. http://www.lsi.com/downloads/Public/RAID%20Controllers/RAID%20Controllers%20Common%20Files/MegaRAID_Value_Feature_Interop_List_SAS2.pdf .. Like a fool I never knew of the HCL..turns out my drives aren't on the "list" I guess that means the lsi...

Hi All, I have a 9260-16i that I had hooked up to 5 wdc30ezrs 3tb and 4 st3000DM001 drives - I've had the wdc drive up and running on a different setup for a while and all seemed well with them, but only very recently acquired the Seagate drives. I know one of the seagates is faulty...

I am - a bit... I've had absolutely no exposure bar a failed attempt at installing it on my ps3 back when it was an option.. I literally haven't done anything in a non windows environment since I owned a 286 and mucked about in turbo pascal...aside from rooting a couple of Android phones...

I'll defo look into - but right now I'm just keen to get the discs configured so I can listen to some music again.. I was just going to go with ntfs tbh - hadn't even considered looking at alternatives..well not yet atleast. I'll keep it around for now - just in case :-) You...

Thanks :-) Already have the cpu here - the base rig runs fine..purchased it for 200usd including shipping (2nd hand) - will be running it at stock speeds. It's just the raid that needs "doing" Hadn't even considered that softraid might actually be a good idea - any further thoughts on...

Hi All, 1st of all let me congratulate you all on a great site - I've spent the last week or so lurking, trying to read up and get informed about what to do to get a working setup for my server. Up untill recently I've been using ReadyNas boxes. Started with a SC101 which was crap...
