  1. Some extensions indeed, but no ad-blockers or fancy anti-malware-spyware-etc... I can't reproduce it anymore as I have now formatted the unmountable disk from Edge (sorry, I was in a hurry to extend my storage). let's close this until further possible reports V.
  2. Hello, I wanted to Format a disk added into my Array, but which was "unmountable"... But for some reasons, the checkbox "Yes, I want to do this" (next to the "Format" button) is not visible within Chrome, while it is visible within Edge. Both browser are up-to-date. I did inspect the code of the page in Chrome and see that the checkbox is there, but made invisible: I did format the disk using Edge, so my issue is solved. But I am wondering why the option was hidden in Chrome ? Is this a bug that I should report ?
  3. Lsi started to help me yesterday, a few hours after my post. They send me their oldest bios still available: 7.15.0.0 And good news, this one solves all my problems! It's both compatible with my motherboard and my Promise adapter V.
  4. Hi, I have the same issue as some other users after the upgrade of my LSI 9201 16i (I did it to from 7.5.0.0 to the latest bios 7.29.0.0 with Firmware 15.0.0.0) The PC doesn't boot anymore. It stops the boot sequence after the initialization of the LSI. The problem is similar to the one of Maxse in this thread : http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=12767.msg207998#msg207998 It's also described here: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1667247 I did try your package for LSI SAS2116, in the hope to downgrade but during the firmware update, I get the error message: ERROR: Cannot downgrade NVDATA version 0xf000003 to 0xa030001. I did try next to only downgrade the bios (I did remove the firmware). The version found in your package is 7.21.0.0. The downgrade of the bios worked fine, but the problem is still there. In response to Maxse, b0ssman said in this thread "I had the same problem... What i did was redo the entire process but on step 5 not flash the bios only the firmware.". Which "process" is he talking about ? I would like to have the details... I did open a case at LSI two days ago but didn't get any answer yet No need to mention I am a real newbie V.
  5. The LSI 9201-16i did work quite fine for me until I did upgrade the Bios to solve a warning issue... It does not offer RAID support, but I did install FlexRaid to manage that. Using Snaphot Raid, I really have good read/write performances (the mean throughput through my Gigabit network is above 100MB/s - while the theoretical max for such network is 125MB/s) Really easy to use to build a NAS, the only detail I noticed is that the passive cooler becomes quickly very hot (even if there are no disk controlled yet and therefore not a lot of activity). The biggest issue I experienced was with my Asus Striker II Formula (a MB not using UEFI) with onboard Raid Controllers and a Promise FastTrak SAS controller. Out of the box (with a Firmware 15.0.0.0 and a Bios 7.5.0.0), the LSI card was preventing the FastTrak to execute its boot sequence. I was only able to configure the FastTrak at boot time by unplugging the LSI. With that Bios, the MB was initializing its own onboard RAID controller before executing the rom of the LSI. To solve this minor issue, I did update the Bios of the LSI to the latest version (7.29.0.0) and since... I have a biiiig issue: the motherboard does not complete the boot sequence anymore. It stops after the LSI initialization, EVEN if I unplug the FastTrak !!! The LSI boot sequence is executed before anything else, including the initialization of the MB onboard RAID controller.... The LCD Poster of my MB mentions that it's stuck on the "Load Menu" (or on "Entering Setup" if I did press DEL). And I can therefore even not boot on a USB key if the LSI is plugged If I use this LSI on my ASUS P9X79Pro (with EUFI support), the PC boots fine ! (I would like to downgrade now the bios of the LSI back to 7.5.0.0 but I don't find this version anymore....) Conclusion: check twice the list of compatible SAS controllers on LSI website and preferably use this card with its latest bios on a recent Motherboard
