  • new drives in Sonnet R800 / Atto R380

    Posted by Rainer Wirth on April 25, 2018 at 10:26 am

    Hi folks,

    we’ve still got a SAS raid Sonnet R800 with Atto 380 Card. So far, the raid is still running smoothly.
    The Drives (Hitachi HUA 3TB) are no longer available.
    So my Question: I would like to replace them with WD Gold 4TB drives. Is it working?

    cheers

    Rainer

    you are crazy –
    this is an OLD system. Why would you risk your data, and your paying jobs on this old system ?

    Hi Bob,

    there is non critical data on it.
    We use it for back-up and short-time safety storage.

    cheers

    Hi Bob,

    will the WD 4TB drives work?
    Question is:
    At the moment I’m using 3GB/s drives,
    the WD”s are 6GB/s drives.

    cheers
