So did you ever get an answer?

Awesome, thank you! If anyone can confirm what if any bracket comes with this (full height etc) that would be helpful.

Thanks PeterB, appreciate it!

Thanks for the expertise gents, appreciate it! PeterB if/when you can confirm I'd be curious to know if the HighPoint Rocket 620 requires using the script to enable it in the v5 version(s) you try.

Will any of the 2 port 6Gbps PCIe sata controllers mentioned in the below referenced article work for unRAID (latest v5 beta)? http://blog.zorinaq.com/?e=10 .... [sATA] Marvell 88SE9128 or 88SE9125 or 88SE9120, 6Gbps, PCIe (gen2) x1 [150-175MB/s/port] Availability: $25 $35. HighPoint HBA based on this chip: Rocket 620. LyCOM HBA based on this chip: PE-115. Koutech HBA based on this chip: PESA230. This is the only 2-port chip on the market with no bottleneck caused by the PCIe link at Max_Payload_Size=128. Pretty surprising that it is being sold for such a low price. Linux support: ahci Solaris support: not supported [update 2010-09-21: Despite being AHCI-compliant, this series of chips seems unsupported by Solaris according to reader comments, see below.] FreeBSD support: ahci

How does one check periodically/on demand etc for the latest firmware to flash an IBM ServeRAID M1015 to LSI MegaRAID SAS2008 please?

Cool! What motherboard with usb 3 are you successfully using with unraid please?

Not exactly since once you rip them out of the external case you couldn't send them in for repair/replace under warranty during that first year unlike a bare drive. I agree it (was) a good deal though and probably a good bet once 1 or more preclears are run while they are in the case to test them out before install.

From the silence my guess is there is no advantage given current pricing...... UPDATE 06-21-12 This thread has been dead/useless in terms of input on this question however see the below referenced threads on why an IBM M1015 flashed with LSI firmware *is* more desirable at this time than the 2nd gen Supermicro AOC-SAS2LP-MV8 *including* pricing. The '5.0RC3 - BLK_EH_NOT_HANDLED causes freeze' thread may or may not apply to the AOC-SAS2LP-MV8. Obviously it most certainly does apply to the AOC-SASLP-MV8. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=20862.msg185167#msg185167 http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=20529.0 http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=20111.30

Anybody using one of these with a Supermicro C2SEE motherboard? Assuming it works with the above, given the option to purchase one of these vs another card, is there any reason not to choose this card over an LSI based card like the below? AOC-USAS2-L8i IBM M1015

What advantage would an M1015 flashed with LSI firmware have over the 2nd gen Supermicro AOC-SAS2LP-MV8?

Assuming you're referring to the AOC-SAS2LP-MV8 http://www.supermicro.com/products/accessories/addon/AOC-SAS2LP-MV8.cfm +1 on this question

This thread has some discussion on this. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=13431.30

Can you please post the steps in the first post to correctly uninstall the previous version?

Cool! I'd be interested in seeing the script you're using and am curious if it's unraid server side or win 7 client side. I had the notion that media center could become unhappy/index files could get messed up if recorded tv files were moved without using the media center interface to delete the shows after they were manually copied somewhere (the method I've been using). Also I figure you added the unRAID share to your win 7 client(s) media center config (media center settings,tv,recorder,media libraries,add folders to the library)?

Anybody running this on the 5.0-beta (7 etc)?

So your preclear failed using the AOC-SASLP-MV8? That's disturbing.

Raj, thanks for your input. Jon and I have the same goal and setup which is totally different from yours. Since we use a UPS and you don't, we wouldn't have the scenario you describe during very frequent power failures and restores. We need to hear from any of the many other users with this motherboard and a ups. Again it's hard to believe this topic hasn't been explored before..... Jon, have you actually tested a power failure scenario and seen that the system doesn't power back up after a power failure with the bios set to 'last state'? I have not (yet). Logically I expect it will not but we should prove that.

Now that you mention it I guess I haven't tested this thoroughly. I was just glad to get the freaking thing to power down PERIOD. I don't know or care what the 'default' is, when power fails I want the server to power back on when it returns. Always. To me that does NOT mean 'last state'. It's incomprehensible to me that all the geeks on this site running ups backed systems with the default motherboard haven't tested or run into this issue but since we're apparently two guys whistling in the dark here..... Hello? Is there anybody out there? Tom?

Can't look at the moment but I'm sure it's 1.0c based on what's at the website. I checked to make sure mine was up to date when I bought it and it looks like nothing has changed since I last checked. It does seem odd nobody else seems to have complained about this behavior since this is the default unRAID motherboard......

Thanks, yeah sorry was in too much of a hurry and just saw that. Hopefully somebody here will be able to test this with a 3 TB drive like the Hitachi.

Wow, huge question. No support for 3+ TB drives would definitely be a bummer and a reason to wait for the next model that will. http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1324649 I wonder what the chances are for unraid support for a highpoint rocketraid 2680.....

It would be helpful to add this as an edit to the first post.

I checked the previous logs and I do have this entry. I'm still running v4.6 need to update to v4.7 and will check for that. Also my model is a C2SEE. The real question is what (if anything) it means and/or whether the many other users with this motherboard see this behavior etc.
