Adaptec 6405e

[Mooney]

Has anyone tried running this pci SATA while using 7.1.0 version of DSM? Any advices would be appretiated. Do I have to add it during the preparation for the build or can be added later. If possible to use it at all. Thanks in advance.

Try to build a DS3622xs+ with the Adaptec aic94xx SAS/SATA driver. Install the controller and build using the following:

 

./rploader.sh clean 

./rploader.sh update

./rploader.sh fullupgrade

./rploader.sh serialgen DS3622xs+

./rploader.sh identifyusb

./rploader.sh satamap

./rploader.sh ext broadwellnk-7.1.0-42661 add https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pocopico/rp-ext/master/aic94xx/rpext-index.json

./rploader.sh build broadwellnk-7.1.0-42661

 

Save your output (incase you have errors so that you can post it) then reboot

Thanks for the fast answer, installation went without any issues, but the drives connected to the Adaptec are not visible still. Any advice?

Do I have to create array in the Adaptec BIOS first for those HDDs to be usable? I thought I should not create RAID as AHCI should be the way to go.

[rojoone2]

AHCI is what you should use. DSM will create the RAID when you set up a volume.

Is there a way to initialize the drives from the 6405 BIOS?

Yeah it is...just not sure if I can leave them in Ahci...will test when back to computer

You may want to have a look at this post. Its from 2017 but it may clear some things up for you about that card:

Great tip, worked well thanks. Just stay away from WD HDDs if working with ADAPTEC...JBOD works correctly.
