HD Tune shows a pretty solid 1.6-1.8GB/s for most of the array. Running Atto, I am consistent at 1.8GB/s Write performance and 2GB/s Read. I ended up with a 23x2TB in Raid6 and a Hot Spare. I proceeded to setup a few arrays to test performance and settings. To my surprise it all booted up and all 24 drives were detected. I got all of the data transferred off the old array and was ready to swap for the new parts. I ended up with a LSI 9270-8i Raid card and I wanted to create a full 24x2TB setup in Raid6 with a single Hot Spare drive. Once the drives started filling up, I decided a month ago to switch things up a bit for a more powerful Raid adapter and I went with one of the HP 6Gb/s SAS Expanders. I ran it with 16x2TB in Raid6 and a 8x2TB in Raid6 on a Windows 7 Pro OS. I setup, a couple years ago, a Norco 4224 system with 2x cheap 16-port SAS Adaptec Raid Controllers that worked well for me. If I could manualy name them, that would be even better. My question is, is there a way to name the PD ports in MegaRaid Storage Manager for the SAS Expander? I would like to at least be able to name the drive for the SAS Port and the drive off that port at the very least. I have been lurking for years on this thread and reading through things and learning about Expanders. This thread is Massive and I have been trying to go through every page to find the info I am looking for but I haven't found it yet.
