Hi everyone,
Hi mobilenvidia,
I need an advice: I have two raid card, an original LSI 9265 with daughter board (and nothing else) and an IBM M5016 with daughter board and BBU supercapacitor. My need is simple: I want to build a raid 5 array with 5 drives, and I want spin down for the active discs (the server is up 24/7 but not so often accessed). What is the best solution for me? Old firmware in the M5016? Flash a Dell firmware on the LSI? Or the IBM?
Thanks to all in advance,
Best regards
Michele
