  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
