September 12, 20178 yr I have an Areca 1280 24 port card, and I've went through each disk individually and entered the correct Areca slot/controller location information so that every drive separately now pulls all correct smart data and drive information. The next question is why the "Main" page still shows the temperature of all drives on the controller to be an apparent generic 30 degrees, when all the drives are in fact different temperatures according to their individual smart readouts. Is there something special needed to get those values to be accurate? Apparently they don't pull their data using each disks smart settings. All other drives (on different controllers) list their temperatures accurately. Any ideas?
September 13, 20178 yr Mine does the same thing. All we can do is wait until @bonienl enhances his SCSI plugin. That plugin made Areca almost plug and play. Only this issue with main screen temperatures and the smart reporting part of the pre-clear plugin are still unresolved. My workaround is to use the mb connected slots in my server for pre-clearing so the smart reporting part of the pre-clear is accurate, and use the Areca browser based interface at the IP address of my controller to see the actual temperatures.
