Thank you all for your all firmware is zero-day updated, so to say.

Do you have an independent SAS to SATA breakout cable to test the drives direct to the RC without the backplane?.

Did you check the RC/firmware notes to see if it is locked to OEM drives? (most have moved beyond this, but there are still a few that do it).

Is the RC and backplane on the latest firmware?.

Are all the drives on the same firmware?.

This is most evident when trying to use consumer drives as they lack certain commands that enterprise level drives (both HDD and SSD) have in their firmware. Certain SATA drives/lines on the other hand might have issues. SATA technology works just fine on most SAS controllers. :-)Īlso, considering I have another machine like this live, with a quite important role, I'd really like to know what to expect. Not really the end of the world if this will not work, but now I'm taking this problem personally with the hardware. No other indication.Ĭan anybody drop some advice here please? I am really annoyed.

:-)Īnd the backplane is just silkscreened HP SAS Backplane. The SSDs I want to use are Samsung 840EVO, I want to setup 3-4 of them in RAID0 for some sweet speed. :-pĪnd I also have another identical server, same config, with SATA SSDs and HDDs, repurposed as an Access Control server, and that one does not have this issue. It even works nice with the SATAs, erm.before dropping them out of the array. So, I suppose the problem may be with the backplane, but the same backplane works a treat with SAS drives. But system is still dropping SATA drives. After another reboot or hot-swapping and reboot, some drives were sometimes picked up again, but the behavior above stuck.Ĭonsidering it may be a fault in the embedded controller, I added another one and moved the bays to it, a P812, but the problem stayed. As I read, the embedded controller (P410i) supports SATA, so it should be no problem.īetween reboots, absolutely random in time and frequency, the controller dropped some drives, sometimes marking them as faulty, sometimes refusing to see them completely. The problem begins when trying to replace it's SAS drives with 4 SATA SSDs.

I have a D元60 G6 server which I want to repurpose as some sort of sandbox. I have an annoying problem and did not find anything in documentations or on the Internet about it, hope someone can help.
