cpjitservices Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Hi all, Does anyone know of a RAID card that supports 3TB+ Drives ? Thanks
ICTDirect_Dave Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 The HP P410 should do it. Might need a firmware update though. 1
cpjitservices Posted October 23, 2014 Author Posted October 23, 2014 Ive got an adaptec here that claims it can do 3TB with a firmware update... I just cannay figure out how to update it.
kmount Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Normally it's from within the utility exposed during boot or from a floppy image or some server vendors bundle it in with their other firmware updates. What model controller and server?

What model controller and server? Adaptec ASR-2405 - its not in a server, its in a desktop at the moment... Been into configuration and cant see an upgrade FW option... dont have a floppy drive either. My way around this way to use something like Hirens to boot into DOS - I ran then afu and acp program from adaptec which is used to flash the controller but I got "Failure - couldnt find controller".

cpjitservices Posted October 23, 2014 Author Posted October 23, 2014 Ive also got A HP Smart Array P212... When I put it into a machine it comes up with the initializing stage but then stops at no IRQ or something.
synaesthesia Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Adaptec 6805SE are good value for money I find. Using one of them with 4TB drives without a hitch.
