mwroobel, Thank you for getting back to me! This array contains nothing that I couldn't live without; however it would be a terrible loss if I can't recover: Family photos, all my music digitized in FLAC, dumps of my previously designed webpages, etc. It is worth my time to try and recover these...

Hello folks - still looking for guidance here. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm not positive on the steps to recover the R6 array.

Thank you for the reply. Allow me to clarify: I was in the process of migrating the data away from a 6x 2TB R6 (+1 Spare) and onto a 4x 8TB R6. During this process, I had a single drive fail. This caused the spare to begin rebuilding. Then the spare failed, followed by yet another disk. At that...

Hi everyone. I'm hoping that this crew will have the info I desperately need. I was in the process of migrating data from one raid volume to a new (larger capacity) volume. During this process, I had several drives fail in my original volume. I offlined the original volume until I was able to...

Is anyone aware of a decent rack-mountable chassis that sports 12x3.5 hot-swap, supports mATX 19x19 mobo, full-height pci (ARC-1880), and is shallow (no larger than 19" deep)?

Hello Everyone! I am happy owner of an ARC-1880, Firmware V1.49, for many years. I find myself needing to build a new (much larger) volume. I'm looking for 10TB or greater per disk. RAID6. Looking to grow to roughly 7 drives with global hot spare. I have several questions... 1. Is anyone aware...

Guys, My Intel SSD drive controlling my OS died on me yesterday.... what a piece of junk. Though I have to say I am thoroughly impressed with this 1880ix card paired with the Hitachi 5k3000's,,, at least these drives have been working flawlessly. So this is sort of a noob question, but yes...

Thank you so much odditory, it is about 62% complete at this time. I'll just wait it out - I am in no hurry... Next time I'll know better. What about the power managment options. I do not have any idea what settings are best here... I have these options set: \ Anything you suggest or maybe a...

Thank you for the input - I did choose background. I was planning to start moving data to it after it was fully initialized, so that was my noobie mistake. I appreciate the pointers you've given me above - I've followed them exactly which got me this far! So I will just have to wait until the...

Well, I've started my first array. I've got it initializing, and it has been doing so for 24 hours now. It is about 58% complete. Is this normal for it to take so long when initializing 5x2tb hitachi's in a raid-6+spare? Are there settings I need to tweak further - Please let me know and I can...

Sweet! I'm feeling pretty good about buying these then... what about expanding... would I be better off buying all 13 and building the array with all drives in advance or is it alright to start with 5 drives and expand 2, 3, or even 4 times? What sort of time length am I looking at with...

I suppose I could had been much clearer. I'll have two-three HTPC's through the house that will stream 1080p video (Including 3D) and FLAC audio as well as live TV. The server will also capture and record live TV for later playback using a Ceton card. House is wired for 10GbE using CAT6a...

Guys, Thanks for all the information in this thread - it is going to be extremely handy to me come build-time. I plan on building a home media server and have an 1880ix-12... RAID6+HotSpare for the config. I have a few questions though: 1. I was planning on buying 13 of the Hitachi 2TB 5K3000...
