Downloading & installing are not the issue.
How to use it is the problem!

 

[h0schi]

Sure, but i attached a manual as PDF.
is that not working, @awedio ?

 

[awedio]

No, it doesn't work& that's what led to my post.
@h0schi have you used Niagara?

 

[h0schi]

Not yet, but i will change / try to change the sas speed of some drives tomorrow.
which problem do you have or whats wrong with the attached manual ?

 

[awedio]

Once you change the phy number to "11":
- how do you save that entry?
- how do you "download" the change to the drive?

I assume we are talking about SAS3 SSDs! - changing from 6 to 12 gigs

 

[h0schi]

Stupid questions from my side:
The „Save“-Button got not the working function ?
Yes i also want to change sas2- to sas3-speed.

 

[awedio]

I tried the save, it seems to save the config, but if I reload the config I just saved, the phy # always goes back to 10.

 

[h0schi]

Strange.
I will check it tomorrow.

Are you start the tool with admin-permissions and do you try the windows compatibility-mode ?

 

[awedio]

Yes, with admin.
Niagara installs fine in Windows 10.

I encountered the same issue. I would like to change 6Gb to 12Gb, anybody know how to do it by Niagara? Thanks very much.

@ajs has used Niagara, maybe he'll chime in.

 

[awedio]

@h0schi Just tried the @jcl333 method. It worked for me!!

Thanks for this thread I am able to upgrade my hgst ssds! I used the Linux version and I found that there I had to use "save pages" for the settings to survive power off.
Thank you guys!

I will try it the next days with CentOS and the linux-version of Niagara
