When I boot from the CD, it takes a good 4 minutes or so and then comes back indicating that it can't find a license file. I downloaded the WD HD Diagnostic utility they reccomended for this drive. but when I tried to format, it just came back with a message saying that the format failed. I planned to just grab an image using WinPE and imagex so I figured I'd try and do the partition and format there.

For fun I tried connecting it to another port, same error just different port number referenced in the event log.

For folks having issues with RAID, I've heard that you will always have problems if you are using non-enterprise drives.I consulted my motherboard manual and they suggest using the ports 1,2, or 5 for drives you plan to boot from. Transfers between drives installed in the case are pretty fast and I'm not having any trouble with write hangs, even when moving ~200GB folders of data, even with the Green drives, but I'm not using RAID. I'm using it currently to consolidate a lot of data on small drives onto larger ones.

Just install the driver, then don't fool with BIOS or install the WEB GUI software and I am able to access each drive installed in the Sans Digital case individually. It wasn't clear in the specs, at the maufacturer's website, or in the reviews that this card will do anything besides RAID or JBOD, but it works fine. Overall Review: Wanted a card that supports port multiplication to just access individual drives.

Hardware and Driver installation was a breeze. Pros: Cheap, surprisingly fast drive to drive transfer in non-raid mode. My next Storage server will have as many PCI-E 1x slots as I can afford, and I will use these cards even if I have to chase them down on other websites. At SATA3 I am hard pressed to find a better card for this price point. I am ordering a few more just to have in stock. SI元132 and just about any other SIL chipset falls down at some point, with a reboot or crash. This is the ONLY controller out of 4 or 5 that I have tried, that does exactly what I want. If you are lucky and get a few on Refurb or Open Box, you really make out like a bandit. These usually come in Sans Digital eSATA boxes.

Overall Review: You get the updated 圆4 drivers from their website. Out of the two boxes of PCI and PCI-E eSATA controllers I have tested with Server 2012, this is the best controller I have found. THESE cards do not hang your server upon reboot like some other SIL chipsets. but I like seeing all drives present before the OS loads. The powering of the first drive, then powering of the other three drives when the drivers kick in, is OK. The Controllers initialize and lightly test each drive in the controller BIOS, before the server even loads. We have a Storage Spaces array of 28 drives in one Server, using eSATA boxes. Overall Review: I don't know how a company with such lack of support and quality can still be in business! Not only would I never recommend this product, I would never recommend a single thing this company sells!īe warned: Stay away from Highpoint products!

Please let me know your plan to resolve this ASAP.Īt this moment, we can't solve this issue. I must say I am very disappointed in the lack of Service your company provides. I have been without these drives for about 2 months now waiting for a fix.ĭear customer, we will discuss an alternative solution to replace the RocketRAID 622. Do you have any updates? If not, I'd really like an alternate solution offered. It's been 6 weeks since the last response. I would also like to share a few of the last comments they provided to me: They have been absolutely no help at all with this issue. I opened up a ticket with Highpoint back on since I finally got fed up with it. Second problem, which is still not resolved, is the driver for the card CONSTANTLY crashes any system it's installed in (Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2). This issue was later resolved by a firmware update.
