How to find drivers for XSERVE-RAID module bought 2 years ago?

Hello,
2 years ago, we puchased a Xserve raid module. About 3 months later, they came up with the Primse Vtrack. Now we are looking to add drives to our old X-Serve-Raid module and we can't find anywhere to buy them. Any idea? it is currently loaded with Hitachi Deskstar 250GB Drives (from teh sticker on the drives)

I believe they are still available at a massively overinflated price as Apple Service parts. Over here in the UK the only places I have found them is on eBay and on http://www.scrumpymacs.co.uk/ (Scrumpy Macs) - email them if you can't find them on the site. They sell drives with ATA drives, or just the bare caddies.
I've recently had to increase storage on a budget so purchased 10 caddies, then 10x500 GB drives for them from a 3rd party supplier which are the same drive used in 'legit' drive modules.
Hope that helps

  • Maximum size for Xserve RAID modules

    What is the maximum storage size for an Xserve RAID module?
    Years ago, an Xserve RAID was out of my price range. Now, I'm looking into getting one on eBay and playing around with it.
    I have been making Mirrored RAIDS with Western Digital 3 TB My Books.
    Can I put 3 TB drives in an Xserve RAID? It probably depends on the controller firmware or something.
    Thanks for thinking about this.
    Doc

    Short answer is no, you can't.
    The XServe RAID has IDE drives mounted in a carrier. The maximum size drive shipped by Apple, supported under 1.5.1 firmware on the controllers is 750GB, though finding these on the used market is farily difficult. Aside from that, any IDE drive can be put in the carriers. If your unit has 'blank' slots, these are indeed just blank slots - you will need to get carriers / drive modules if you want disks in the slot if that makes sense.
    People on the Internet, myself included, have experimented down the route of using IDE to SATA bridges in the carriers with 2.5" SATA drives which are more freely available. This way you can utilise cheap drives in your drive modules, or even SSDs (which offer little benefit I have found). Some users have had success with 1TB 2.5" SATA drives in this method, but not with anything bigger it seems. Myself, I've had suceess with 500GB SATA and 256GB SSD with this hacky method.
    Hope that helps.

  • Satellite U500-11C: How to find drivers for Win 7

    Good Morning,
    I bought an U500 11C and I would like to install Windows seven.
    But I have a problem, I don't know how to find all the drivers to run with windows seven.
    Is it possible to use the same drivers than with windows vista ?
    Do you know where I can find the drivers for my laptop to run with windows seven ?
    Thanks a lot in adavance.

    Hi
    At this time you will not find the Win 7 drivers on the Toshiba European driver page because the Win7 is not official on the market.
    But I found some beta drivers on the Toshiba US page.
    http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/home.jsp#
    There you can find drivers for different notebook series I think U505 series is very similar to U500 so try out the drivers!
    Bye

  • How to find drivers for Satellite L755

    I made full format for my laptop Satellite L755-169.
    Now I can't find the valid drivers, like display for example
    What shall I do?

    Well, if you have some unknown devices in the device manager, I would recommend searching for device id and vendor id to get more details about the device.
    Then you could search in google for the driver.
    Here is a nice HowTO:
    http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=78
    But generally speaking all Win 7 drivers for your model are placed on the Toshiba European driver page. So if you know the unknown device, it should not be a problem to get the driver.

  • Can't find drivers for Lenovo G50-30 for Windows 7 32-bit

    Hi,
     I can't find drivers for Windows 7x32 bit for my new Lenovo G50-30. Looks like Lenovo support doesn't have them. Am I wrong?

    hi ziris,
    Can you try these drivers:
    Chipset:
    Intel® Chipset Device Software (INF Update Utility)
    Bluetooth:
    Bluetooth Driver (Intel, Atheros, Realtek, Broadcom)
    Camera:
    (AVC, Bison) Camera Driver
    If the  above drivers doesn't fix the unknown device under Device Manager, can you follow this guide on how to install the drivers via their Hardware ID or you may want to consider installing Windows 7 64bit (this would be best if you'll be utilizing 4GB RAM and above).

  • How to install drivers for ati radeon 3200?and how to config xorg.co ?

    how to install drivers for ati radeon 3200?and how to config xorg.conf?

    mawch wrote:how to install drivers for ati radeon 3200?and how to config xorg.conf?
    Hello
    I am using ati hd 3200 which is integrated with my motherboard. If you are using arch you can download & install through pacman. The package is named like catalyst*. You can install them by issuing as root user
    #pacman -Sy
    #pacman -S -l | grep -i catalyst
    #pacman -S catalyst catalyst-utils
    After installation reboot your machine in runlevel 1. (single mode).  Ensure "fglrx" module is loaded correctly using
    #lsmod | grep -i fglrx
    If the resultant output have "fglrx" part  the module is loaded correctly. The next step is to create a working /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Backup your current xorg.conf if needed.
    #cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bkup
    Then issue
    #aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf
    This will create a new xorg.conf file. Now we can test our confign.
    #telinit 3
    I am using runlevel 3 to avoid graphic messup!!
    issue
    #gdm
    If you graphical login screen works correctly there is nothing to do more except adjust your monitor resoloution as you like.
    To know your ati driver is working correctly issue as root
    #fgl_glxgears
    If gears are rolling happily it seems correct. You can also know more about installed ati driver
    #fglrxinfo
    Now the installed driver version is in the output 
    If there is any problem try following
    ##### Soloutions to solve various display problems using ATI Catalyst Drivers in Linux #####
    yes video playback is choppy until i ran :-
    sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv
    Try adding the following to the 'Device' section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    Option "TexturedVideo" "true"
    ### This is a half solution for mythtv problems. Run mythtv in window (no full screen) If You have a screen resolution of 1024x768 try the command;
    mythfrontend --geometry 800x600
    Append the "Device" Section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf file as follows;
    Section "Device"
    Identifier "Videocard0"
    Driver "fglrx"
    Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off"
    Option "VideoOverlay" "on"
    Option "TexturedVideo" "on"
    Option "TexturedVideoSync" "on"
    Option "Capabilities" "0x00000800"
    BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
    EndSection
    Add following in the .bashrc of each user or /etc/bashrc file* Most Effective In My Case!!
    export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=true
    ####### Arch Linux - Add the "nopat" option to the /boot/grub/menu.lst or /boot/grub/grub.conf
    ####### as in the following example
    title  Archlinux Ice Kernel
    root   (hd0,1)
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz26-ice root=/dev/sda2 ro resume=/dev/sda3 quiet splash nopat

  • Can't find drivers for WIN XP - Satellite L300D-10U

    Hi!
    I am really having a hard time finding drivers for xp for my laptop. I downgraded it from Vista and cant find it anywhere I looked. I found only the Ethernet driver. The drivers cant be found on the official web site. (at least i cant)
    Would anyone be willing to help?
    Thank you very much in advance.

    Is that a new model? I know that some of the new models dont have XP drivers yet. You need to wait a while or use drivers from a similar model

  • Satellite A205 S4797 - can not find drivers for my drive

    I have recovery disks and Windows Vista installation disk. When I try to install error meesage says it can not find drivers for my drive.
    I tried scannong CD drive and it cannot find them do 32-bit, 64-bit all have different drivers and if so where do I get the one I need if not from the install disk or recovery disk from manuf.?

    If you cannot use original Toshiba recovery DVD for OS installation I can imagine there is some problem with DVD itself (some missing file or scratch) but Microsoft Vista installation MUST work on this notebook model.
    If this doesnt work too there must be some problem with HDD. Just if you want to install WXP you need to load SATA driver at start-up but Vista must work.
    Can you please tell me what happen when you try to install Vista from Microsoft Vista installations DVD?
