I have several questions about building a large storage system:
How do you plug 16+ SATA drives into a motherboard? Are there hardware RAID cards that support 16+ SATA ports?
Can you grow a RAID 6 array from 6 drives to 16, one drive at a time?
How do you know when a drive out of the 16+ set is failing or has failed? How do you know which one?
I have a Proliant ML350 G8 with two SAS raid arrays currently set up - thereby maxing the default P420i raid controller. I need to set up a large video dump space in addition to this existing set-up (for non backed up, non-critical, temporary storage).
I had planned to just add a 2TB SATA disk and plug it into the motherboard.
I have a working F-10 box with an older motherboard (pre-sata). The p-ata ports are full (4 drives), so I'm trying to add a sata controller and another drive. The sata controller plugs into the pci bus, but is not detected by the bios (very old). After booting, the OS loads the driver module(s) and detects the new controller and drive.
Hello,
I'm looking for insight and assistance on figure out whats going wrong - and hopefull how to fix it.
The motherboard

has BIOS that lets you set the function of various SATA controllers to be "Native IDE" "RAID" or "AHCI" (Advanced Hardware Controller Interface).
I have recently purchased a new system. I have 3 problems which all seem to point to some sort of incompatibility between IDE and SATA drives. I'm probably wrong here, but in my mind I'm convinced that they are connected.
I have a Foxconn A88GMV motherboard with an AMD Phenom II X4 965 processor and 4GB memory. The SATA is 1TB and the IDEs are 500 and 300MB.
How do I make CentOS run SATA drives at 3Gb/s at boot?
Background:
I'm having an issue with a motherboard that claims to support 6Gb/s SATA transfer speeds, but when using 4 drives on it, in a software RAID 10 with heavy disk IO, some of the SATA links start throwing kernel errors, ie. ata1.00: failed command: WRITE FPDMA QUEUED.
Hi all,
I've purchased a SATA card (2 sata, 2 esata, 1 IDE), cause unfortunately I ran out of sata ports on my motherboard. Running lspci I figured that my device was discovered by my system:
02:00.0 SATA controller: JMicron Technologies, Inc. 20360/20363 Serial ATA Controller (rev 03)
HiI have an Asus AT5ION-I motherboard with Centos 6.3. This board has only 2 SATA sockets. I wish to add a few extra using an affordable raid controller. The board has a PCIe x4 slot fo... [by Mainframe2008]
