Found the problem: Windows allocation was set at the default 4096 rather than 1MB, even though the RAID setup had it at 1 MB. I've formatted this thing 20 times but must've missed that last time. With it now set appropriately, I'm pulling just over or under 1 GBps sequential transfers again @ 4...
You're right - I think the numbering was the slot, not the PCIe speed. I believe the top slot (3) was 16x, the ones after that 8x. The RS3DC080 is an 8x card anyway so going to the 16x slot wouldn't be of any help unless I had a lane restriction due to devices. With the 970 gone, that doesn't...
Sustained as far as I can remember.
I pulled the box out and the RAID card was indeed in a PCI 2x slot. Switched it over to the 3x that the 970 was in. Tested the SSDs and they came back over 1 GBps - and that's through the expander card. Success! Tested the spinners, 630 MBps. Worse than...
Thank you for taking the time to look into this and respond. I've run it previously with the 970 out of it (relying solely on the onboard video) and I definitely hit those 1 GB/sec transfers. As I said before, I don't test it often enough to know for sure when it dropped, but I think there's...
Hi all,
I have a home-built storage server running 12 HGST and Toshiba drives in RAID 10. The raid controller is an Intel RS3DC080 connected directly to four of the drives. The remaining eight are connected via a RES2SV240 expander card and a single cable back to the RS3DC080. I have the array...
Unfortunately it looks like these are gone. I PMd on 2/19 and never heard a word. It was a great deal, too - but I went to Ebay to fulfill what I needed.
Yes, it has a Web UI and also a systray presence (on Windows). Note that it has SMTP email alerting capability but it cannot - as far as I can tell browsing forum posts from 7 years ago - use public SMTP servers. It's built to use an internal one. Perhaps that works for you. It didn't for me...
I got mine yesterday. Fully charged but came with batteries unhooked in the front (as it's supposed to!). Plugged it in, fan sped up, got everything plugged into it (two headless PCs, a PoE switch and a Raspberry Pi totaling ~197w of consistent load), cut the power and it said 35 minutes of...
