I have a Areca RAID 60 that had a drive fail. It automatically rebuilt using an available hot spare. In the RAID Manager is shows as "normal" for both the RAID and Volumes. Now Mac OS 12 isn't seeing the RAID at all. There's no disks or volumes listed. What can I do to get it to show back up?

I have a number of Supermicro MCP-280-00024-ON dual HDD Trays. I've been thinking this would work well to hold/organize the HDD's on my home server, but the tray doesn't work with my current SAS cables/SAS card it seems. The connection is slightly different then what I'm use to using/seeing...

I have an Areca 1880 with 12 drives. I believe I'm having power issues as occasionally I'll have drives "fail" randomly. There appears to be nothing wrong with the drive based on the SMART data. My guess is a faulty power connector. My question is, every time a drive "fails", it comes back...

I've got a HP SAS Expander (running v2.10 firmware) connected via SFF-8088 to my Areca 1880xi12 card (running 1.52 firmware). The SAS expander is connected to 12 drives that make up two RAID 5 volumes. In trying to get this setup, I keep running into issues where all of my drives are reported...

I just got a HP SAS Expander that I hooked up to my Areca 1880 card. The Areca doesn't see the drives connected to the HP SAS Expander. The HP SAS Expander is running firmware 1.0... could this be the problem? (I.e. do I need to get it up to 2.10 or so?), or do I have another issue somewhere?

I just bought the HP SAS Expander off eBay. I've connected it to a old motherboard, hooked up several drives and run a SAS cable to my Areca 1880. But I'm not seeing any of my drives hooked up to the HP SAS expander. My Areca also times out if I try to boot with the expander connected. Has...

Reinstalled the drivers. Tried it in two different OS versions. No luck. The card is running normal in Device Manager. Nothing pops up in Disk Manager and I've even tried to rescan for new hardware and new disks.

That's the thing it doesn't show up in Windows Disk Management either:

If I select "Activate Incomplete RAID Set" menu item and click "submit" I get "Raid Set Already Active". Is there another way to activate the Raid Set?

At the moment I don't have access to 12 - 3TB drives to do a bite for bite backup unfortunately. - And yes, I will definitely move it to a RAID 6. I did LeVeL2ReScUe - which then showed a Volume and said that it was in "normal" state, but the OS doesn't see that Volume so I can't access the...

I have a RAID 5 (12x3TB) array that is no longer showing for me. I'm pretty sure I bumped a drive power cord on the array when I was removing and reinserting a system drive, causing that drive not to power up. I've since reconnected the power cord on the drive, and even though all the drives...
