...some future to come in your estimate. First of all my beloved 3ware finally seems to have passed away. After multiple acquisitions and becoming part of LSI and getting bought with LSI, it probably became non operational. Namely, the latest 3ware cards have ancient firmware.

Got a new box I'm trying to set up. I configured the RAID from the firmware, but "fast initialize" was sitting there at 0% (it's about 43 or 45TB). The first time I tried this, I said background, and rebooted the system. And the stupid annoying alarm started up as the system came up. This time, having *finally* figured out how to set up hot spares from the WebBIOS, I suspended

Hi, my oi151 based home NAS is approaching a frightening "drive space" level. Right now the data volume is a 4*1TB Raid-Z1, 3 1/2" local disks individually connected to an 8 port LSI 6Gbit controller. So I can either exchange the disks one by one with autoexpand, use 2-4 TB disks and be happy. This was my original approach. However I am totally unclear about the 512b vs 4Kb issue.

Still have good quality older sata hardware raid cards that require 512 bytes/sector. As far as I know HD manufacturers are not making native 512 bytes/sector drives any more. Some have better 512e emulation than others. Looking for some advice on which to avoid and which are recommended. Thanks. PS this is for a CentOS6 server.

...bout)? Do you mean that *syslinux.efi* does not support (yet) "4k" devices? Incidentally... Quote from http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?46700#comment22 : Well, there is apparently some bug (or at least incorrect assumption) on GRUB side. Pity, it is the first known case of BIOS supporting 4Kn disks.

I don't expect these drives to be bootable except possibly by systems with UEFI firmware. It's also possible hardware RAID will reject them unless explicitly supported. http://www.hgst.com/tech/techlib.nsf/techdocs/29C9312E3B7D10CE88257D41000D8D16/$file/Ultras...

I don't believe that is correct. LSI acquired 3ware, and Avago acquired LSI. So, Avago owns the 3ware and LSI technology, but Adaptec and Areca are still competitors. > Whoops, Avago is now Broadcom, a
