Cache drive & Raid Controller?

HI all,
Ok so it's time for me to buy my media drives for my 6TB project.
I am going with (3) 4TB 7200 rpm seagate drives (Raid0)
Hopefully that will give me enough data rate to edit it realtime (c300-MXF files),  intel 6 core, 16 gig ram, 760 gtx 2g mem
I have 2 final questions:
1. After testing my current drive performance, I noticed that while playing/scrubbing my timeline (premiere cc) I noticed that my cache drive had 0-1 % activity  and  my Media drive was at 100%
So just how important is the cache drive for "performace"???
2. Can I use my onboard Bios Raid controller for my (3) raid0?
Or should I buy a controller?
if yes, Why?
If yes, can someone reccomend a "reasonable" priced controller?
Thanks So Much,
Lou

The answer to #2  depends on your motherboard .  What is it?
Your RAID 0 configuration has no parity so it requires very regular backups maybe even several times a day after each editing session.  I call it the "poor man's choice" as I also use it.  It just so happens that my good friend Harm just alerted me to this new Western Digital (the Hitachi acquistion) for a new 6 GB drive the Ultrastar He6 which might be perfect for your backups.  Interesting it is filled with Helium.

I just now remember you picked the GA-Z68XP-UD4 after my suggestion, yes you can put three drives in RAID 0 by using the (4) Intel SATA 3GB/s ports. It might limit the maximum performance slightly as opposed to using the same devices on three 6GB/s ports but I do not think the limitation will be serious.

  • G5 Xserve Harware RAID controller - do all drives have to be connected?

    Hi,
    I am installing a hardware RAID controller into a G5 Xserve. The machine has three drives in it - one 80 GB drive module that has just the operating system installed on it, and two 500 GB drive modules that are currently configured as a RAID 1 array via software. I am aware that I have to reformat the drives after installing the RAID controller, and I have taken appropriate steps for backing the data up. My question, however, is if I will have to attach all three drives to the RAID controller, or whether I can leave the 80 GB module separate (the preferred configuration). Thanks.

    Watch out for the firmware bug on the Apple Hardware RAID - doesn't always fully flush write caches on graceful power down (disconnects from the drives before the caches are fully flushed). I turned in a RADAR bug report in November 2005 (RADAR # 4350243), still open. It was a very difficult bug to pin down and create a reproducible test case - causes mystery garbage blocks from space, especially hard to get reproducible results because of the way RAID 5 works on reads. LSI Logic fixed this bug after Apple's code split from the LSI firmware code (the Apple Hardware RAID card is a rebranded LSI Logic megaraid card with Apple firmware), but it seems unlikely that Apple will ever fix this bug because the Xserve G5 and Apple Hardware RAID card are both EOL.
    Only known workaround of which I am aware is to disable write cache on all LUNs.

  • Hard drive configuration with Promise Raid controller

    I plan on running two 30 gig 75GXP drives on the Promise controller in Raid-0 mode.  I also have a 60 gig WD drive that I use for backups and for initial installation.  During installation, I put the Win98SE setup files and all the drivers, apps, backup data, etc. on the WD drive and do a clean install from there.  
    My current (old) board is an Abit KT7-R with the Highpoint raid controller.  Using the Highpoint controller, I am able to put the WD drive as a slave device and the controller treats it as a normal IDE drive.  I'm moving to the 845 Ultra ARU.  From what I've read, if you put a single drive on the Promise controller, it tries to set it up as a Raid drive?  I don't want to risk losing my backup data on the WD drive to some attempt by the Promise controller to "raid" my single drive.  So, where is the best place to put my WD drive so that I can install my system from it?  I'm thinking about putting it as Master on IDE2.  I normally run my CD as Master on IDE1.  Once the installation is complete, I will remove the installation files from the WD drive and use it exclusively for backups.  I have the WD drive in a Vantec EZ-Swap rack, and I normally keep it powered off unless doing a backup.
    So, the plan is to create the Raid-0 array, Fdisk and format the array, and then load Windows from the WD drive, followed by all my applications.  Is Master on IDE-2 the best solution for the WD drive?  

    hi
    not very clued up on raid but it sounds right
    if the wd drive is on its own on that ide do not jumper
    as master you have to have no jumpers if all alone

  • Hard drives do not detect after enabling hardware raid controller

    hello every one
    I have 2 hard drive and want to make them RAID 1.after enabling raid controller in bios,when I want to install windows server 2012,it says no hard drive detected.when I load driver of raid,it dont work.i used "list disk" and "diskpart"
    command in command prompt to show my online disk drive,but it does not show any hard drive.I think hard drive are in offline mode.how can I enable them?hard drive are sata 1T.
    atiye moghaddam

    Hi,
    As RAID is enabled on motherboard, the configuration should be finished in BIOS as well. So the RAID1 should be already configged before installing Windows system.
    When boot with an installation CD, you should have an option like "load driver for hard disk" or so. RAID will not be directly recognized so you should use that option to install a driver first.
    If it will not work, contact motherboard manufacturer for more support on this function.

  • Dynamic Smart Array B220i RAID Controller keeps loosing Logical Drive after power shutdown.

    Hi, I own two HP Microservers Gen8. I added SSD drive on the DVD SATA port in both. I created Raid 0 over the SSD Drive that I can boot from it, but everytime I shutdown the box (power outage), the logical drive is lost. Note that the logical drive is not lost on reboot. Only when the box is is shutdown. Any ideas why is this happening? Here are repro steps: Enter Smart Storage Administrator
    Select onDynamic Smart Array B220i RAID CtrollerClick on "Unassigned Drive" Screen shows me:SATA HDD:

    On a next screen I select the following:
    I selected RAID 0, 256 KiB Stripe Size, 32 Sectors, Maximum Size
    I click on "Create Logical Drive" On a next screen:
    A message: Logical Drive was successfully created.
    I click on Finish
    I exit the Smart Storage Manager and reboot the system. The server boots from the Raid0 Array (Sata SSD Drive in Port5:Bay5) -> No problem If I just reboot the server, it boots from the Raid0 Array. - No problemIf I shut down the server (or during Power outage), the Smart Array tells me that there is no logical array during the boot. The boot fails. -> Qualifies for a problem.
    Please can you explain why is the logical drive lost after power loss? Why the controller does not remember the setting? Other details:- Dynamic Smart Array B220i RAID Controller (v3.54.0)- When I boot to Smart Storage Administrator after power failure, I can recreate the Raid 0 over the SSD drive and boot again - this a work around the issue. Thank you for your advise.Jiri

    Can anyone help me???
    Please!
    I have Qosmio F-30.
    Where can i find 64-bit driver for raid controller?
    Is it exists somewhere?
    Please, help me!!!

    Unfortunately, the XP 64bit drivers are very rare and on the Toshiba driver page you will not find any.
    Possibly because Toshiba does not deliverer any notebooks with OS XP 64bit.
    See only one way to find one; google for 64 bit DAID driver and maybe you are successful

  • Shopping For A RAID Controller

    I have seen the Areca brand name on here many times, so I assume they are the best for what we do. But, there are so many models that I have no idea what to look for. I probably won't ever have more than 4 or 6 storage drives plus an SSD system drive. Maybe a couple of external drives and an NAS.
    If I have Windows 7 64-bit
    i7-2600k processor
    ASUS P8P67 Pro motherboard
    32 GB RAM 1600
    GeForce GTX 580 Amp! from Zotac
    AX850 PSU from Corsair
    Every component is reasonably fast, bu I am sick of the senseless limitations of this mootherboard. My drives are aging so they need to be replaced.
    Which specs are important for video editing? Which brand and models are most popular and shoould I wait for some new release?
    Another thought - If a RAID controller is over $400 US, Is it more cost-effective to upgrade to a more capable motherboard/processor with all the ports I need?

    What to look for
    Brand
    Areca or LSI
    Ports
    8 or more
    Card
    PCIe-3.0 8x
    Cache
    512 MB or more
    Multi-lane
    SFF-8087/8088
    Examples
    Areca ARC-1882 series or LSI MegaRAID 9285
    Warning: You have to realize that on your motherboard adding a dedicated raid controller will entail that your video card will throttle down from PCIe-16x to PCIe-8x mode, resulting in a 10 - 15% performance penalty, due to limitations of the chipset. A dedicated raid controller, especially with around 6 disks always outperforms an on-board raid by a wide margin. To see some benchmark results, look here:  Reflections
    To see what meets your requirements, also consider the raid level you want to use. If raid3 or raid30, then LSI is out. You can check out what controllers are popular here: Detailed Results but you have to be registered and logged in to access the page.

  • Best Use of one SSD  for cache drives

    Hello...  Months ago I added two Physical  Momentus XT drives to be used  as Cache only drives:  One as a Cache disk, and one as a Cache Database disk.  This is the only function these drives do...
    Doing this really sped up large session loads...
    I'm going to be getting one SSD soon, and was wondering.... Of the Two Caches....  Cache, or Cache Database...
    Which would benifit the most from an SSD over a hybrid hard drive??
    Seeing that the Controller is a 3Gb/sec controller only....  That's why I used two separate Cache disks..
    Now that I'll have the benifit of a SSD speed over a Hybrid Drive (Faster Reads only)... Should I combine both in the SSD or still keep them separate?
    Thanks!    Jan

    I have replaced 2 Momentus XT drives (One with Media Cache, and other with Cache Database)  with 1 Samsung 840 SSD, which has 2 folders: CS6 Cache, and CS6 Cache Database.
    Prior to pulling the drives, I tested the time it took to load a 45 min 1080i AVCHD session that had over 400 scenes, 600 2k JPEG's and about 25 pieces of music.  From clicking on the session to load, until "All Media Loaded" took about 34 seconds (This is with the Cache's on separate Hard drives).  Shut system down, pulled the two drives, added the one SSD drive, power up, formatted the drive and added the above mentioned folders...  Then launched PPRO and pointed the Media Cache and Cache Database at these new locations... Then launched the 45 min session, and walked away while it created the data locations, peek files, etc, to the new SSD Cache Drive folders.
    When It was finished, I closed, rebooted the system, Launched PPRO, and timed from the Click on the session, till the end of "All Media Loaded"...     19 seconds...
    Will be watching this intently......  
    EDIT:   SO far, I'm happy with the change.... I am interested in anyone else who has done this sort of thing before.... and in paticular, if you found any negatives of putting both cache's on the same physical drive, even if it is a SSD....
    I did find my prior notes, and going from Cache's on raid (Different directory than media, though media was on same raid) to separate Momentus XT Drives decreased load time of this same 45 min project by ~ 15 seconds..
    $$$ Available was only enough for one SSD, and I'm not certain if multiple SSD's for cache's would be worth the $$.... Which is pretty much why I posted here....
    Looking forward to your comments...

  • KT4 Ultra (6590) need update of the Promise SATA RAID Controller PDC20376

    The last Bios update AMI 1.4 for the KT4 Ultra (6590) have built in the bios version 1.00.0.18 for the PDC20376 (Promise 376).
    I can configure 2 maxtor (6E040T0) sata1 in a raid0 array and it works under WinXP SP3,
    but the 2 drives are working in UDMA5 according to the FastBuild Utility when the motherboard specifications talks about 150Mb (SATA1).
    It's not an OS problem because the FastBuild Utility at Bios startup show the UDMA5 mode for HDD.
    It's not a Maxtor 6E040T0 (SATA1) problem because have no jumper to set.
    The Promise support center don't provide support for built in raid controller but the responce was that it's related to a known bios issue of the controller, so i have to update.
    For the last Bios version for the S150 TX4 controller look at:
    http://promise.com/support/download/download2_eng.asp?productId=108&category=all&os=100&go=GO
    It's impossible to update the bios with the promise tool because the controller is integrated in the motherboard.
    I read for example than on the motherboard K7N2 Delta-ILSR the bios version of the Promise 376 controller is 1.00.0.21:
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=92756.msg665966#msg665966
    I think the only solution is a modding bios, where i have to replace only the Promise controller bios but:
    1) The tool amibcp.exe can't open the A6590VMS.140 AMI bios (renamed .rom), i don't know why!!!
    2) What promise controller bios rom file is good?
    Can anyone out there help . . . please ?

    This is my results compared to my other UDMA6 HDD on IDE1, HDTach long bench stop with "Read Error" and only quick bench works.
    The version of the Controller driver under WinXP-SP3 is 1.0.1.29 and I configured the driver in the PAM Utility with:
    "Driver Write Cache" enabled and "Write Back" as cache settings (The 2 Maxtor SATA1 in RAID have 2MB of cache, but i don't know How many cache have the controller!!).
    The Burst Speed is too strange!!! quick bench error?

  • Tiered Storage Spaces with LSI RAID Controller 9260-8i (no JBOD) - Performance Drop

    Hello
    I have a Lab-Server with a LSI-Raid-Controller 9260-8i and 2x 256GB SSDs / 6x 600GB HDDs. First I configured the LSI-Raid-Controller with a RAID 1 (2x 600GB HDD) and installed
    Windows Server 2012 R2 with Hyper-V Role on this RAID 1. This works just fine. Then I configured the LSI-Raid-Controller with additional 6x "Raid 0 Drive Groups" where each Drive Group has one single physical drive
    in it. And then I created 6 virtual drives out of these 6 Drive Groups. So far so good: my Windows Server 2012 R2 now sees 6 new Harddrives (4x 600GB HDD and 2x 256GB SSD). I then created a Storage Pool out of these 6 drives (with PowerShell /
    assign MediaType SSD/HDD) and on top of the Storage Pool a "Tiered Storage Space" with Mirror Layout (2x 256GB SSDs mirrored and 2x2x 600GBs  HDD mirrored). This gives me a Tiered Storage Space of about 1.3TB. On this Storage
    Space I created a Virtual Drive of 1.3TB capacity. Success!! It seems to work fine.... Even I do not have a Storage-Controller supporting JBOD directly, I was able to create a Tiered Storage Space!!
    Now where's the problem? Fine-Tuning the LSI-Raid-Controller Settings and the resulting
    Disk Performance....
    1) LSI-Raid-Controller: Virtual Drive Properties: What should I choose? Read Policy (Ahead or no) / Write Policy (Write Back with BBU or Write Through) / IO Policy (Direct IO or cached IO) / Disk Cache Policy (enable or disabled or unchanged)
    / Stripe Size (256 KB or ??). Do these settings conflict with the Windows Server Storage Space Layout?
    2) Windows Server Disk Management (under "Disk XY"):  Write Cache Policy? (activate Write Cache on this Device) 
    3) Windows Server Device Manager (under "Drives" - Microsoft Storage Space Device):  Write Cache Policy? (activate Write Cache on this Device)
    4) Performance - Results with Crystal Disk Mark: the inital Results after setting up the Storage were quite good (Seq R: 550 MB/s and W: 590 MB/s //  512K R: 490MB/s and W: 618 MB/s // 4K R: 18MB/s and W: 37 MB/s  //  4KQD32
    R:270 MB/s and W:37 MB/S) But 2 months later the values dropped to: Seq R: 290 MB/s and W: 170 MB/s //  512K R: 120MB/s and W: 239 MB/s // 4K R: 1.5MB/s and W: 31 MB/s  //  4KQD32 R: 9 MB/s and W: 71 MB/S). Huge loss of performance
    - SSD full? 
    5) Since this is a Hyper-V Server I put some VMs on it. The Performance within the VMs has also dropped accordingly. Are there any
    best practices when placing VHDX-Files on  a Tired Storage Space? I could of course assign one or two VHDX-Files directly to the SSD Tier, but actually I don't want that because that would use too much SSD-Space.
    Any Experts on this Subject?
    Mark

    Hi Mark,
    For the settings of the Raid Controller, it is better to confirm with manufacturer for detailed information. As you said these settings will affect with storage space settings.
    From the description you set the 6 disks as 6 RAID0 groups. Is it supported to leave these disks as JBOD and directly add them into a storage space? If Raid settings will affect storage space performance, this could help us avoiding the RAID settings. 
    As data is already written onto the virtual disk, we may not available to recreate it. You could have a try with following PowerShell cmdlet to see if it will work better after optimize.

  • RAID controller on G4; problems... is RAID dead? Help please!

    Hey.
    Here's the deal... Our graphics department has a MAC G4 (fully upgraded. newest patches, OS, etc.) that's got a 4 port SATA RAID controller. They use this with four 750GB hard drives as an external RAID (the OS is on a seperate, 65GB hard drive). The way it's set up, through Apple's OS, is we have the four 750GBs in pairs... those pairs are striped, and then the two sets of striped 750s are mirrored. This has worked just fine for a number of months, but we recently had a power surge, and now we're unable to mount "Monkey" (the name of the 1.4TB array).
    See the below screenshots for more clarification.
    http://www.amcdoors.com/lorenzo/raidsetup.JPG
    This shows the RAID card, and the four SATA cables coming out of it.
    http://www.amcdoors.com/lorenzo/leftside1.JPG
    As you can see in this and the below screenshots, this shows the 1.4TB Striped set as 'online', but the two below (the two 750GB hard drives) show up as "offline".
    http://www.amcdoors.com/lorenzo/leftside2.JPG
    this shows the actual drive i click on. same thing
    http://www.amcdoors.com/lorenzo/leftside3a.JPG
    If i click the entire array, you can see how it's set up (the Mirrored RAID set consisting of the two Striped RAID sets). The RAID sets (all 3 of them) are showing up as online, yet the drives are offline. No idea why. The drives are all powered, and are spinning, and plugged in.
    http://www.amcdoors.com/lorenzo/leftside3b.JPG
    when you click "Monkey Drive", nothing shows up in it. i don't remember if anything ever used to. if you click 'mount', nothing happens.
    http://www.amcdoors.com/lorenzo/leftside4.JPG
    http://www.amcdoors.com/lorenzo/leftside5.JPG
    this shows the exact same problem as the first RAID set.
    http://www.amcdoors.com/lorenzo/verifyRAIDset1.JPG
    If you try to Verify the RAID set, it shows that no repairs are necessary
    http://www.amcdoors.com/lorenzo/verifymonkey.JPG
    If you try to verify Monkey, you get a "Volume Needs Repair" error... but when you try to repair it, you get this:
    http://www.amcdoors.com/lorenzo/repairmonkey.JPG
    Really need help; this is a pretty critical problem. Someone that's familar with RAID solutions on MACs please help me out. We can't risk losing any data if at all possible.
    Thanks

  • Unknown Raid 5 Array after Raid controller replaced

    Hello,
    I had a raid controller fail during the week, and after shutting the xraid down and installing the new controller, all the drives in the array are now amber.
    In Raid Admin 1.5 the array does not show up, only all 6 member drives with an amber warning and 'Type: Unknown Array'.
    I used the 'Recognize Array' utility to try and fix this, however whilst each drive shows as being recognized as being part of a Raid 5 set, it will not recreate it.
    Am I completely screwed? or is there some other way to get this to repair/recognize?
    Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Mark

    Due to time restrictions on getting the xraid back online, had to recreate the raid and restore data from backup.
    No fix found.

    - The P410 raid controller must have memory if you want to present all 12 drives down as JBOD to solaris to be managed via ZFS. i.e. order the P410/256. If you order the P410/ZM you will only be able to create a maximum of 2 arrays which will be seen as disks by Solaris.
    - The P410 requires a driver that doesn't exist on the DL180 G6 driver page at HP. If you look under the DL585 G6 page you will find the solaris driver you need. [HP DL585 G6 storage driver page|http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=15351&prodSeriesId=3949980&prodNameId=3949981&swEnvOID=2023&swLang=13&mode=2&taskId=135&swItem=MTX-f490e7c0f736457c92229f7e8c]
    - The network card is a NC362i. This is intel based and referenced by this Solaris patch - [patch ID = 138175-02|http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-21-138175-02-1]. The latest solaris 10 release (u7) doesnt contain the drivers for this card. You will have to add this patch separately. When added and recofigure rebooted etc etc, the device can be plumbed as igb0.
    Hopefully this helps someone out!
