之前在官網上詢問過ARECA兩次都毫無回音,最後一次寄信至 support@areca.com.tw,總算有了回覆 回覆的時間扣掉端午假期的時間大約一至兩天,還算非常迅速,總算挽回了我對於台灣RAID大廠的一些信心 所以這也告訴我們不要留言在官網上的Ask a question,直接寄信去Support才會有人回應
以下是我詢問ARECA的問題,紅字部分為ARECA的回覆: 1. Dose Arc-1680ix-12 support Seagate ST31500341AS with firmware CC1H? not support. there have one known compatible problem between Seagate SATA drive and Intel processor which used in our SAS controllers before. Seagate release a new firmware for enterprise drives to avoid this problem but not desktop one, so you can not use Seagate desktop drive with Intel SAS processors.
and both hard drive vendor and us recommend enterprise drive for best reliability. we had ever got many unstable array problems caused by unstable environment and desktop drives before.
2. Can Arc-1680ix-12 work properly on Asus P5Q pro? not tested, and also no usage or problem report before
3. In Tom's hardware reviews, there seemed to be a bottleneck of IOP performance when the hardisk was more than 8 disks. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/16-port-sas-controller,2249-11.html. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/16-port-sas-controller,2249-12.html But I didn't notice any problem like that happen in your own report. Could you tell why there's such difference?
Wrong configuration. we had ever tell them about the incorrect configuration in their setting.
