Elpee Posted September 5, 2016 #1 Posted September 5, 2016 Just bought a Dell h310 card to install my new Nas (bare metal) with 4x2tb hdd. I may extend more hhds in the future. Installed latest DSM 5.2-5967 on it and everything ran smoothly. I however found in Storage manager (HHD/SSD) 2 HHDs that I hooked up to Dell card shows no info. in Health Info and S.M.A.R.T tabs. 1. Currently I use ORIGINAL (no touch) Dell card. Should I flash it to IT mode to see disk info of those attached to Dell h310 card in Storage Manager? 2. If I have to, is it good enough I flash to Dell FW IT mode or I have to flash to LSI 9211-8i FW? 3. I saw many people flashed this card to IT mode LSI 9211-8i. What benefits will I have in this case with XPEnology installed? It will run smoothly and faster or something? Thanks for your inputs. I appreciate it.
Elpee Posted September 5, 2016 Author #2 Posted September 5, 2016 Sorry, double post. Mod please delete it. Thanks.
Elpee Posted September 7, 2016 Author #3 Posted September 7, 2016 Been here for 2 days, but sorry nobody can help? I don't think, in this such big forum, there is no one using a SAS card.
umchem Posted September 23, 2016 #5 Posted September 23, 2016 So what did you do? I have the same card and have the same problem? Any help is appreciated.
Elpee Posted September 23, 2016 Author #6 Posted September 23, 2016 I had to flash to LSI 9211-8i FW. Instructions a lot out there by Google searching. Looks like LSI 9211-8i FW on Dell card makes it faster and more reliable. Cheers.
