Re: No 'Increase Size' Option for RAID 5 Array in RST - Why is this missing?

You still have one 233 GB drive that needs to be replaced plus even if you do the ICH9R is not listed for support to do Capacity expansion.

Ok fine so they likely coded the interface to expect one ODD on any port and any number of HDD or SSD on any ports with or without a ODD so they might as well test with all ports having a ODD just in case someone dose have a need for 6 ODD.

I see a

466 GB drive

233 GB drive

hmm....their is a 233 GB drive in your setup!

If you was hoping to do a matrix RAID setup unfortunately it is supported in a required way which is if you had four 466 GB drives you can setup one array for 699 GB RAID 5 across all four drives leaving you 233 GB on each to setup another array for 932 GB RAID 0.

But what you can't do as of yet that I know is setup matrix RAID on some of the drives that are in a array with free space you must do it across all the drives that are in a array with free space.

I do have another PC with RST 12.5.0.1066 now installed that is fine with an ODD on Intel ports.

Windows 64bit win 7

P965 ICH8R
RAID ROM 6.0.0.1022 and SATA set to RAID
Only a SSD and ODD on Intel ports

and yes SATA is set to RAID as you don't have to setup a array to use RAID.

My following setup works with RST 12.5.0.1066

Windows 64bit win 7

P55 PCH
RAID ROM 9.5.0.1037 and SATA set to RAID
Three SSD and three HDD on Intel ports
Two HDD & ODD on Jmicron ports set to RAID/AHCI

The only thing I'm not happy about is SATA ports not by Intel for my other two HDD & ODD on Jmicron show the iaStorF.sys driver installed when Intel has nothing to do with them ports.

Success RST 12.5.0.1066 now works and I suspect it was down to way the new drivers hooked on to other SATA ports not by Intel making them list as SCSI when Intel drivers had nothing to do with them ports.

And again windows wanted reactivation I hope Intel do not change the iaStorA.sys & iaStorF.sys from the one iaStor.sys drivers because I hate how dumb windows activation is in thinking I have changed or add hardware when all I have done is install RST from the change of one iaStor.sys to iaStorA.sys & iaStorF.sys.

11.2 has memory issues i would not recommend it to you, im using 10.8 better right now.

I have no problems with 11.2 with 2 sets of RAID 5 array off 6 ports.

What causes this is found here and applies to desktops.

Mostly it down to the CPU idling as the 4K test is done.
