hobbie1009 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 While this controller is plug and play the first time I tried it with a single Seagate 500gb drive (from a previous RAID 5 array) I could select the drive in the devices tab but it would not finish mounting the drive, after half an hour I just shut it down. Any helpful hints? Thanks for your help. Justin Link to comment
fitbrit Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Did you try flashing the firmware to the latest version? I have two variants of this PCI card - a SATA and a SATAII. BOth worked fine out of the box with the firmware they had on them, but I bought both used. Sorry I can't be of more help. Link to comment
jupilerman Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I just put one of it yesterday and i have no problem. I did not try it with a single drive. I did connect 4 drives before closing the box, so i don't know if using it with a single drive may or may not be trouble. Since the drive is coming from a old raid 5 array, it maybie contains old information that unraid cain't recognize and therefore don't let it mount. Did you try to mount the drive from another connection point ? Link to comment
hobbie1009 Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 I was just able to get the drive to mount on a open mobo slot so the drive and cable are in good shape. Going to let it format and see if i can retry it on the sata card. Link to comment
hobbie1009 Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 Just loaded the drive from the TX4 card after formatting it with Unraid on a mobo connection. The drive fired up great and allowed me to write a movie to it so should be gravy from here on out. Thanks everybody for your help. Justin Link to comment
