    It's the same CPU as Areca, the entire hardware is generally the same, there is very little either can add considering the IOP handles just about everything.
    The BIOS and the way RAID is handled is what differs the two, and considering the issues I have had with Areca for over a year (more than one a month), I would not recommend it to my worst enemy, much less to a normal person, and it costs more than Adaptec...
    crappy piece of s***.

    Has anyone else experienced similar problems? Were these issues spread out over several cards or just one? Did you try swapping out cables and drives?

    Will the Adaptec ASR-5805 do the same?

    yes. I've got the 5405 and it is the same thing just mine has 4 ports instead of 8. I got it on purpose because if I had 8 ports there is no way in hell I would be able to stop myself from getting 8 SSDs and ~1GB/s, which would have been expensive and troublesome in the long run. Keep in mind that it takes ~45 seconds to initialize, which is starting to get on my nerves quite frankly.

    Is that a full 45 seconds, does that mean it will take 45 seconds for boot up or for the drives to be useable once the computer is booted?

    Hmm, don't understand why they would release a card that would overheat without a proper cooling system?

    45 dedicated seconds added to your boot process.

    Beats me why they would release it like that

    Jesus ing hell, 45 seconds, my A-Socket PC boots faster then that.

    Is there any SAS Raid Controller that doesn't have such a long ass boot time?

    I guess you can't have it all, I was really expecting like 4-5 second bootup times using my SSD's.

    Sorry if the topic is de-railed if so.

    Lots of similar and worse cases noted on forums.2cpu.com
    Both on 1280ML with SATA drives and 1680 with SAS drives.
    Yes it happened over different cables.

    Why restart a computer, or shut down a computer every day?

    When determining your 24/7 OC (or maxing it out) you don't want to be doing it off a RAID array...

    I didn't mean like that.

    Was just thinking, did he attach some fan to the card or to the case or something, you guys here are crazy with your mods.

    All the cards with IOP348 can't do anything regarding the heat, it's the IOP that runs hot - and since it's the same CPU it will run hot on every card.

    As we're approaching high numbers, this is getting important..What do benchmark tools consider to be 1 GB? 2e30 or 10e6? Is there any consensus?
    SI is a trouble maker...
