  1. I have an ASUS LSI SAS2008 card, that I installed on a ASUS Win 2006 (now 2012) Hyper-V server in 2012, and now a disk has failed, numbered 323 (I have 5 300gb 10K rpms in one Raid 10 array and 2 1Tb in another. This thing takes forever to come up and I really have no idea which disk is bad, maybe the 3rd one?. I did think, erroneously, that Raid 10 would protect me from situations like this, and like other RAID systems allow me to hotswap drives and get on with things. But with this frigging clunker, nope. And it's running twin Xenon CPUs with 48gb of memory. Not cheap -- back then or now! So am I to assume 323 is the 3rd 300gb hd? This thing won't tell me a fucking thing, after waiting 30-60minutes after punching an option in the LSI Corp Config Utility. And of course everyone at ASUS who worked on these things is dead or retired, and won't help. Any ideas appreciated. I'm ready to toss the whole thing. Who needs a server anymore, anyways??? I'll just order out from now on, I guess.
