raid

I asked the question on reddit but that seems to be the wrong audience for something that technical, perhaps someone here knows the answer. My understanding of how Windows Storage Space allocates stripes across disks is that it is primarily based on capacity. So if I have a two way mirror...

Over the last few months I've been having continuous performance problems with my SSDs. I originally had them configured in a 4 disk, raid 5 array, however have tested them in almost any other configuration you can think of in order to try and get them to work. Even if I put the controller in...

I have a 24HDD Innovision case, it contains 2 backplanes with 12 HDD each. The backplanes have 3 miniSASHD ports. I want to create 2x RAID5 arrays in Xpenology from the disks I have: - 9x HDD 8Tb - 15x HDD 6Tb Tell me which option of using controllers would be better? 1 9305-24i for all disks or...

Hi all - I am in the process of building a new server for my Unraid setup which will include two 1.6TB Intel Optane 905P's. Worth noting I will be essentially moving my existing array setup onto new hardware so the base array will stay as-is. For the array as it sits I am using the standard...

I have a RMS25CB080 that I flashed to try and use IT mode, it errored with something about a "card revision mismatch" but now it is no longer showing up as an option rom, and not working. The storage light on the front of my server is also solidly lit. I have an Intel S2600GZ with a LSI 2208...

I am attempting to add drives to my Windows-based backup server using it's existing P420 hardware RAID HBA and I'm not having any success. I purchased a 9-port (36-drive) HP port expander (G9 HP 727250-B21 727252-001 761879-001 ) and, while it recognizes all of the drives some of the drives...

So, I think I need to ask you all for some help because being an old-timer from the 2010's and now looking to enhance my storage and disk systems... I am bedazzled by the enormous amount of various options currently available... in such a variety it makes SCSI standards look like a walk in the...

Hi Everyone, I am hoping I can get some clarification on a feature my Areca ARC-1226 RAID card has. When I attach a SAS drive to it, the card give me the options to reformat the drive to 520-byte sectors. When I do that, there is a status field in the drive information panel of the controller...

Picked up a couple of SuperMicro AS-1113S-WN10RT 1U servers. they currently have 5 out of the 10 bays with U.2 NVMe drives. I'm needing to place these drives into a RAID however the board doesn't support it and I picked up a Broadcom 9460-16I and 4x "Cable OcuLink PCIe PCI-Express SFF-8611 4i...

All - Just brought a new array online on Windows 11 build. I created the array in the Adaptec BIOS and did Build/Verify until it was 100% complete. I saw the drive when I booted into Windows (separate SSD boot drive) and formatted NTFS with default allocation. Now, when I try to copy data...

I am trying to get the most 4k iops I can get out of a raid array for and experimenting with different configurations to try to get a sense of where the sweet spot is in terms of number of drives, performance, and raid config. I was hoping to see more linear performance gains with number of...

I've got a bit of a head scratcher here. Building a new server using the 8805. It recognizes all of the attached drives, but when I try to "Create Array" it only allows me to choose a single drive and create a Simple Volume. I get the same behavior from both the BIOS RAID Config Tool on Boot...

My Synology CS407 NAS don’t turn on, it may be out of order. I’ve got a NAS device with RAID 6. What should I do with all the data that’s still on the disks? (I hope that all drives are working and my data is still there) There is no way to access the files by just connecting the disks to the...

I have a synology ds920+ in and have replaced several drives and have a collection of 8tb Seagate compute (yes i know some are smr, hourly i can still use them?) and Toshiba n300 drives and an ironwolf. I wanted to create storage that i can put together a collection of retro files on (all kinds...

Greetings, I am currently in a thought process of redesigning my home network into a much better system and wanted to get some feedback on this forum. There may be better ways or better tools out there that I don't know yet. Main things I wanted to focus one: plex as media server, nextcloud as...

I was browsing in a store a year ago and they had one of these (except it's the 2 drive model 210) on clearance for $200. I have two cheap WD single drive NAS drives and did not plan on buying another "cheap" solution as I eventually want a proper NAS (Synology, Qnap etc) but it was less than...

I am running RHEL8 on a single drive right now. I would like to migrate to a RAID1 configuration with hardware raid handled by my Intel PCH onboard RAID controller (X10DRH-CT motherboard). I have configured the RAID and attempted to do a simple dd to the raid (which shows up as an mdadm raid...

I bought two of these servers for a couple of nas builds. But for the life of me I can only get bays 0-3 and B0 working. Bay 4-7 and B1 seem not to be there. Do I need to set my bios differently or buy a hardware key of some sort? I have heard a little bit about something called rksata8 and...

Hey! Recently got this off the bay, I've since found a different solution so Im looking to pass this one on. Part numbers: 749797-001 792356-001 50€ + shipping cost to your location. (Ships from Sweden) Paypal or SEPA.

I have an H11DSi-NT with a CSE-826 containing a BPN-SAS3-826EL1 backplane. It also has the two rear 2.5in bays/backplane. I'd like to run NVME for boot stuff and then use the front 12 bays for storage space, probably with more than one array if possible. I have used Dell PERC stuff at work but...
