Anyone played with the Adaptec 2100S SCSI RAID card before? Anyone got it
working 100% correctly with hot swappable drives/racks?
We are using RAID1 with 2 drives.
We get the problem after we build the array within the RAID bios, and as
soon as we try and do any data transfers/access it fails, claiming the 2nd
drive has died. We swap the drives over, and get excatly the same on the
2nd drive again. We have used 2 diffrent brand drives, latest firmware
everything, diffrent motherboards, diffrent size hdd's and everything else
we can think of. We have used RH seires racks, Kingston ones and also
another brand which is worth $1000AU+ per HDD rack. All of them say they
will work, but dont. As soon as we take the drives out of the racks, it
works fine. Also it works on SCSI2, but this is "too slow" according to the
customer.
Any idea's? Ive tryed every thing really, even M$!
I know of another company haveing excatly the same problem. But, using RAID5
and RAID0 on the same card, with 6 drives in total
