I think he really needs to look in the documentation for this device or talk to Adaptec tech support. This is a RAID array, not a hard disk and I find it a little hard to believe that an array would require low-level formatting to work. It's possible, but it seems a bit odd. You'd think that the array controller or setup software would do whatever is necessary to make things work when you configure the disks into an array. Another odd thing is that I can't find any documentation or information about this controller on Adaptec's web site. It looks like all the stuff on their web site is PCI-based, not SCSI-SCSI controllers.
