Re: CentOS 4.4 32 bits not recognizing disks

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Be careful with the Sil chips, some of them will not support certain HDD's at the HW level. I had a problem with Maxtor DiamondMax10 300GB SATA150 disks. My Sil controller would not support staggered spin up and the drives simply wouldn't power on.

3Ware are very reliable.

Or get one of the relatively cheap Silicon Image based SATA cards.  I 
believe those have been supported "out of the box" long enough that 4.4 
will find your disks without any additional hassle.
