The DPT 'Storage Manager' software does not allow the option for ECC formatting. The drives used are IBM Ultrastar 9ES 4.5Gb and both IBM and DPT say they are compatible with the card. I think it is a jumper setting on the hard drive that is required - but neither company has taken the trouble to document this. I have the jumpers set correctly for the scsi bus ID's. Any ideas people?
