SmartArray controllers are designed for the proliant and NAS boxes. Of course the best solution would be trading in the supermicro servers for some new shiny Proliants.<BR /><BR />Ciao,<BR />Greg Thu, 02 Sep 2004 07:49:54 GMT Greg Carlson 2004-09-02T07:49:54Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/smartarray-contoler-in-non-hp-servers/m-p/3370602#M13439 Hello, everybody.<BR /><BR /><BR />Our customer have Supermicro servers. Now they want to implement RAID, so I suggest to use HP SmartArray controler 641.<BR /><BR />We try with 641, 642 and 6402, but servers always hangs after detecting SmartArray.<BR /><BR />Thanks Thu, 02 Sep 2004 03:52:27 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/smartarray-contoler-in-non-hp-servers/m-p/3370602#M13439 Simon Setina 2004-09-02T03:52:27Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk-enclosures/smartarray-contoler-in-non-hp-servers/m-p/3370603#M13440 Simon,<BR /><BR />You would be best off with a third party solution in a white box.

Get a more generic Adaptec solution. They are faster and less cost but Adaptec actually supplies continued support for new OS's. They have a good 1 and 2 channel solution that we have had great luck with.
