Thus far, we know that there are 8 drives on a 3Ware card, maybe on a 300W, maybe 400W PS, also w/ 3 large fans plugged into it. What kind of motherboard/processors/video card/memory? Those all also matter in the power consumption discussion. ----- Original Message ----- From: Marc Rassbach To: Darryl Okahata Cc: Hodge Podge ; Michael VanLoon ; Sent: Tuesday, August 21, 2001 11:27 PM Subject: Re: 3ware stuff not ready for heavy duty useage-followup To REALLY figure out what is going on, you need REAL data. Your employer won't pay for you to play Qualtiy Control Engineer. That brings me to reminder #2: Always quote the 'known working solution' IE the high end solution where it is someone elses problem. That way, if they opt to choose the lower end solution, you have the out of 'You should have picked the higher end version if you wanted this to work'. Life is full of compermises. At this point, without good technical data of what/how the harddrives were handled, the power supply, the quality of the AC line, etc la, this thread is generating heat to keep one warm, but not alot of information. For all any of us know *ONE* gate deep in the 3ware is dead, causing the problem. (Had a SCO PC involved with a building lighting hit. Any mulitport serial card at 330 would fail. Move the cards to antoher machine at 330, it would work. Move the card to 360, and it would start working. Somewhere, a gate was dead on that machine.....) OR, the hard drive was abuse by a shipper.
