July 23, 201015 yr Success! ( I pretty sure.... just would have liked to see all my 1.5TB drives have numbers the same ie. XXXXXX/XXXXXX ) root@Tower:~# hdparm -N /dev/sda /dev/sda: max sectors = 18446744072344861488/2930277168, HPA setting seems invalid root@Tower:~# hdparm -N /dev/sdb /dev/sdb: max sectors = 18446744072344861488/2930277168, HPA setting seems invalid root@Tower:~# hdparm -N /dev/sdc /dev/sdc: max sectors = 1465149168/1465149168, HPA is disabled root@Tower:~# hdparm -N /dev/sdd /dev/sdd: max sectors = 1953525168/1953525168, HPA is disabled root@Tower:~# hdparm -N /dev/sde /dev/sde: max sectors = 18446744072344861488/2930277168, HPA setting seems invalid root@Tower:~# hdparm -N /dev/sdf /dev/sdf: max sectors = 18446744072344861488/2930277168, HPA setting seems invalid Congratulations. Yes, it looks like the HPAs are gone. The strange "native" value is a bug of some kind in displaying the "native" value. I expect if will be fixed in some future Linux version. There is NO way you have 18446744072344861488 sectors as the native size, even if they were only 1 byte wide sectors... (we can only wish disks were that big) 18446744072344861488 bytes 18446744072344861 Kilobytes 18446744072344 Megabytes 18446744072 Gigabytes 18446744 Terabytes 18446 Petabytes 18 Exabytes Of course, you might have several of those new 18 Exabyte drives that newegg has not yet offered to the rest of us. :D Sure would hold a lot of MP3 files.

July 23, 201015 yr I need a lot of storage for my "home videos". I have such a good HD camera, you can see the atoms that my body is made from. The 5,000,000X zoom shows a lot of detail! Anyone who has installed a AOC-SASLP-MV8 SATA card, do you recall if you had to make any changes to the BIOS or did it just work?
July 23, 201015 yr I have such a good HD camera, you can see the atoms that my body is made from. The 5,000,000X zoom shows a lot of detail! You sure you do not work for the CSI TV show? They frequently zoom in on images to read the fine-print from several miles away. (They must use the same zoom technology. ) ;D ;D ;D Joe L.

July 26, 201015 yr Tip to others trying to install the SATA controller: Make sure you update your UnRaid software as my one problem I had was that the version I had ( 4.5 beta 12 ) didn't have the necessary "driver", or whatever it is called in linux
