Fernando,

I've applied the new firmware, tested and the behaviour is not better than previously, it even seems worse.
What I have seen is :

- sometimes when quitting the opROM, one of the HDD led remains switched on and the subsequent Windows installation fail
- sometimes one of the HDD led remains switched on during Windows Installation which is then very very slow and at first reboot the RAID is corrupted
- sometime the windows installation seems going well but the reboot show a corrupted RAID

It is almost as if the controller was not able to work correctly with the HDD.

It is still not the same HDD failing.

The problem occur only with WD Red 2TB and 4TB

Any idea of what I can test ?

That's what I did.
Hopefully I'll get an anwser.
This is very strange indeed that those 2 models have problems and not the others.

Fernando,

I solved my problem by bypassing the SATA backplanes on which my drives were connected.
With the HDD directly connected to the SATA connector on the Mobo, everything is fine.
I can make all RAID configuraitons with all types of drives.

So now I need to understand what's wrong with the backplane and if I can find replacement for them.

Thanks for the support.

Should you now a good provider for SATA backplane, I'm interrested :-)

Thanks for the support.

Hi again Fernando,

I changed the chassis/backplane (and the mobo also) and so far everything is fine.
Could you advise me with the optimized RST driver for opRom : 14.6.0.2285 ?
I cannot find any info on the forum.


Edit : I found v14.6.5.1036 ? Is that is ?

Thanks !
