Hi Guys
Running the above card with 12x drives in raid 6 in a white box and have been chasing some intermittent degraded performance - reads and writes sometimes as low as 250mb/s but sometimes as high as 2500mb/s so i was wondering if a drive was on the go slow or had some wierd power saving going on.. so I planned on pulling a drive at a time, checking the power mode, and benchmarking it just to see if one was particularly slow or anything like that..
So pulled the first drive.. booted into windows.. and HP SSA shows degraded / drive missing - but the logical drive / volume are not available to windows.. My understanding is that it should still run and data be available. but in a degraded fashion until the disk is replaced...
Any thoughts? Is it a white box issue?
Steve
