Q10060704 - One of my customer try to make JBOD on 24 ports Ctrl ( ARC-1280 ) when he makes the config i the firmware of the areca, then reboot to take effect the controller can't see more then 16 disks in JBOD !! 1694
Q10090908 - When the ARC-5020 is hooked up and set to "SATA300+NCQ", we can write about 10MB to the drive before it locks up. Once I set the array to "SATA300" (no NCQ), it works perfectly fine. Is there simply an incompatibility present between our eSATA controller and the ARC-5020? 691
Q20010410 - How does your controller ensure that parity is not corrupted when power loss occurs and parity data is left unwritten in the drive cache? 1933
Q20010411 - If there is a problem on the SCSI bus? For example, errors or SCSI bus resets in U320 mode, does the raid subsystem automatically switch to a lower bus speed like U160 Mode? 1821
Q20010412 - What is the difference between 12Byte CDB and 16Byte CDB in the Areca RAID controller when we configure greater than 2TB volume? The difference is: 2060
Q20010601- Why Areca controller can not work in some mainboard with the console redirection function? It's critical to design a NAS system because NAS system doesn't have a VGA slot, and the system relies on console redirection to set a bootable RAID disk. 1856
Q20010605 - We have new Power Mac G5 with ATTO UL5D SCSI bus controller connected to storage with ARC6060. Can you advice us which parameter is better to choose? 1. for Two TB CDB Selection - 12 Bytes CDB or 16 Bytes CDB 2. for Disk Capacity Truncation Mode - Multiples of 10G or Multiples of 1G or No Truncation 1791
Q20010610 - When I configure the ARC-1120 I set two volume sets, one for the OS and one for our video storage. I tried to do the same with the ARC-5030 using the SATA cable but I only saw one of the volumes in the OS. Is it possible to make a number of volume sets while using the SATA connection only? 1546
Q20020406 - I am not able to Expand/Migrate my Raid set/Volume, Why? 2156
Q20020411 - For LSI 1030T U320 model Async hardware in the SCSI core mistakenly treats the 16 bytes CDB as 6 bytes CDB, if I apply the Linux OS patch for >2TB, but the DAS/RAID array volume is actually created without the '>2TB' support, what would happen? will Linux simply just ignore it? 1962
