raid

Hallo everybody, I again have a few questions about the usage (or building) of a NAS Server. I want to create a private NAS with a huge amount of files (I think there are about 18 Terabyte of files I want to save) and my biggest fear is to lose them due to Bit Rot. So I Read that ZFS should be...

What is the maximum size of SATA disk that will be recognised by a Dell XX2X2 RAID card for the C6100 blade server? I gather this is a version of an LSI MegaRAID controller. I'm putting a system together based on second hand Dell C6100 servers running a mix of VMware and Xenserver (on...

Okay, Somebody was playing with the power on the server. I have a RAID5 80 TB array whose members show as optimal but the logic volume shows as failed. The drives are fine because I can read their info (temperature for example), and I don't expect there to be much of any data loss. I tried to...

I had to build a temporary server for a client earlier this year to replace a broken one and have one until his built to order one was delivered and setup. All the parts where new at time of build (except the RAID card I grabbed that out of another server) and less than a year old (was...

Hello, I have a top of the line, ARECA ARC-1883IX-16 SAS 12Gb/s RAID card for sale with all cables and Battery Backup. If you want to ball out of control with storage, this ARECA is the card! Can do any RAID level and JBOD as well as support for SSD caching. I have about 20+ RAID cards and...

I have a Dell R710 home server with a Dell PERC H830 SAS RAID adapter in it. I'm looking to add an MD1200 to my collection and trying to figure out whether it will work. I'm not concerned if it's supported. I only want to know if it will work at all. First off, Dell says the H830 won't work...

Poking around the internet looking for a NAS Distro to try. I was planning on going to FreeNAS Corral since it had Docker Integration...but we know how that went :( Seems like most people have gone to ZFS historically because it was more stable than BTRFS, but is that still the case today...

So, I've kinda given up on Windows Storage Spaces, but now I'm having trouble with interfacing my RAID card and backplane. So, I got an Adaptec 8805 RAID card (latest firmware) that I've pulled from a working system. When I hook up the SATA ports to the a Sunrich S-331 backplane (Marvell 9235...

I'm in the process of setting up a DIY NAS box for my personal use running Ubuntu Server 16.04, 11 hard drives of various capacities, a 3Ware 9650SE controller in JBOD mode, and ZFS. My controller has 16 ports, and I'm currently only using 8 of them, with the remaining 3 HDDs and two SSDs for OS...

FWIW, I wanted to share a successful installation of a used IBM M5210 RAID controller. I received the controller with a 1GB cache w/flash module on Ebay for $99 not knowing if I could get it working in one of my older systems. The controller is running IBM FW version Version 24.9.0-0026 and...

Greets to all. Managed to inherit a Dell PERC H830 SAS RAID controller, now trying to get it working in my home-based Dell PowerEdge R710 server. Dell's specs say the H380 has an LSI SAS 3108 chip in it. LSI/Avago/Broadcom says that chip -- and all the SAS RAID cards it makes based on that...

I just got a FUJITSU CP400i x8 RAID controller (SAS-3008 based) as I found out the Intel SATA controller (C232 chipset) seem to have some driver issues both on Hyper-V and ESX ....but that's another story, but nevertheless interesting. Fujitsu have a RAID manager called Server View RAID that...

Reading Software vs hardware RAID performance and cache usage confuses me. Today i'm running Linux md RAID10 with 4 x Hitachi 4TB NAS drives. As i only have 8TB avaiable space, i'm planning for the future and RAID6 based on 5x 6TB disks seems good to me space wise. I will then be able to get...

Hi All, New member and new to servers. I guess I have what would be a fairly simple question to most here. Can I use the SuperMicro H8iR without the backpane board? I'll be putting 8 2TB drives on it, with another bunch of drives running off the motherboard. Some background. I'm replacing a...

Hello I'm quite new to enterprise grade hardware so I'd like to ask about brands that produce really high quality SSD drives as I don't know any of them. I'm running DIY Linux server with 20TB software RAID6 attached to 128gb SSD cache. Unfortunately I thought Samsung PRO series is kind of...
