Replaced Marvell SE9230 with SE9130, RAID1 Status Offline

The drives are detected okay by the motherboard controller, but no partitions are detected. Unfortunately, I had to accept that there is no way to make them "online" and work with the new controller. Instead, what I ended up doing is connecting one of the drives to another computer and running...

Replaced Marvell SE9230 with SE9130, RAID1 Status Offline

My Marvell SE9230 using RAID1 configuration died. The voltage regulator is okay, output measures 1.8V, but the main IC does not get even luke-warm and no controller BIOS splash or ability to get into its menu. It seems completely dead. So I replaced it with a spare Marvell SE9130 which is, to...

Analog PBX and Caller ID questions

At my office, I have a basic analog PBX phone, no Caller ID and no speakerphone. I've been getting a lot of spam calls so I would love Caller ID. I get put on hold a lot, so speakerphone would be handy. My work does offer an Avaya 9116 Caller ID phone, but it would cost me $92 to go through...

Marvell RAID 1 crisis

Make sure to test the alert system and check them regularly! I relied too much on the alert system and evidently didn't have it configured correctly. Assuming my hypothesis is correct that the first drive degraded 2-months ago, that would have been plenty of notice had I been aware of it. I...

Marvell RAID 1 crisis

So I ran SeaTools for Windows on both drives that I pulled from the server since SeaTools DOS kept crashing to DOS prompt. They both fail Long Generic test. One after several hours. The other after just a few minutes. PliotronX, your suspicion both drives are failed seems to be correct. I...

Marvell RAID 1 crisis

Unfortunately, my backup is worse because it's 3-months old. EaseUs was able to recover files that I needed immediately, but I had to abort the process since I was tying up my wife's desktop with it that she needs for work today. Right now I have one of the drives plugged into my server...

Marvell RAID 1 crisis

I'm having a little crisis with a Marvell RAID 1 setup. I accessed my home server running Windows Server 2008 R2 just fine all day as I do every day. Then tonight I access it, and WTH, a lot of important files are gone! Just gone! Practically gave me a heart-attack. So I calm myself down...

Asmedia 1061R SATA controller problems

Oh damn, those are pricey! I was thinking just another FakeRAID card, like maybe one from Marvell. Kind of surprised the Asmedia is such crap. I thought a subsidiary of Asus would do better.

Asmedia 1061R SATA controller problems

Upgraded my install to Windows Server Technical Preview 2. It's very buggy. Settings don't work, not even with a clean install. Also is super, duper slow when hooked up to the Syba card. I think I've concluded that the ASM1061R is probably a steaming turd. I'll probably send it back and have...

Asmedia 1061R SATA controller problems

No luck with older drivers. 1.3.4.1 and 1.4.1.0 both install with no problems, but show many ATA channels from 0 thru 11 and no hard drives detected.

Asmedia 1061R SATA controller problems

I need a server OS. Server version of Win 10 (2016) isn't out yet. Or at least I can't find it. EDIT: Managed to find Windows Server Technical Preview 2. Will give that a shot.

Asmedia 1061R SATA controller problems

It's VEN_1B21&DEV_0622. Yeah, I don't trust those drivers sites. I used some of the driver sites to find motherboards with ASM106x on them, then downloaded the drivers from the motherboard manufacturer's sites. Downloaded about a dozen different drivers until I found some that had the DEV_0622...

Can't install Windows Store apps due to system requirements (Win8.1)

Yes, this is only a guess, but I think it's because it's pre-allocated which is why it failed Microsoft's test. The games must have close to a 2GB requirement and with the VRAM pre-allocated, the tablet was only reporting to have 1.5GB or so. It seems to be better all around to just let the...

Can't install Windows Store apps due to system requirements (Win8.1)

Managed to find a solution for this. I hate when I find old threads where nobody came back to report on their solution, so here it is. Went into BIOS, Chipset -> North Bridge -> Intel IGD Configuration -> DVMT Pre-Allocated. Change to 64M. I noticed in Windows, my Asus T100 which works fine...
