Dear Sirs. We obtained an AMI MegaRAID Enterprise 1600 RAID controller these days and a bunch of IBM DDYS 36LZX drives. After several trials to get a working array with these drives and several failures (drives not recognized, sproradic deaths of mostly the last drives in the array) I got on Friday a response from our AMI general distributor in Germany. They told me that there has been revealed an incompatibility between AMI RAID controllers and the new IBM DDYS drives. I was told to contact IBM (OEM support) to obtain a kind of firmware update for this harddrives, which seems to be regarding to a series of harrdrives within this product range. AMI also offered a new BIOS/Firmware Update on their site for the AMI MegaRAID Enterprise/Elite 1600 controller series, but I do not know what this update targets. Oliver - MfG O.
