nas 1200s firmware upgrade
We tried migrating the drive to 750gb drives, but the SIL 0680 IDE controller will not post will the drives. It reads drive information for drive 0 and then hangs.
With no drives in 0 or 1 (or the old 160gb drives in 0 and 1) the system boots and the AMI Bios sees the 750gb drives in 2 and 3 as 750gb.
Is there any way to update the Silicone Image 0680a chipset with a new firmware?

If you have the time, you might try replacing one disc at a time and rebuilding on the fly....then expand the F drive to fill up the remaining capacity if you get that far. Seems like this is what he did with the 500GB. Also, it seems to me if 500GB works, then 750GB should...but maybe not.
Post back if you ever find a solution and I will do the same.

Re: nas 1200s firmware upgrade
If I install using the original 160gb drives in bay 0 and 1 and 750gb drives in 2 and 3, then replace the drives in 0 and 1 one at a time, I can get the system up and running as long as I don't have the 750gb drives in when the SIL bios enumerates the drives.
Windows sees the drives once it boots fine though. I do loose the primary OS though.

Re: nas 1200s firmware upgrade
I assume you tried the LBA settings, etc. But I wouldn't that would matter anyway...

Re: nas 1200s firmware upgrade
I've just bought myself a 1200s from ebay and can confirm I have the same problem. Bay 2 and 3 work fine with 750GB drives, but the SIL will not boot with a 750GB drive attached. I too have found a number of firmware upgrades for the SIL, but nothing to upgrade the mainboard with.
In my case, Windows would not see the 750gb disk when I replaced bay 1 with the 750GB drive and when rebooting, hangs.
As bay 2/3 does not have a BIOS attached to it, i cant disable the BIOS on sil and boot from those bays either and hope windows "sees" the drives without the bios being enabled.
Would anyone know how to calculate the various limits of controllers, if 750GB does not work and 500GB does, what would the magic max size be?
Anyone with any suggestions?
Regards,
John Jore

Re: nas 1200s firmware upgrade
Other than reboots it is fine. It does have to resync the array after reboot though.
It is a pain and not ideal, but it works.

Re: nas 1200s firmware upgrade
As my kit will be in a datacenter few miles away and your procedure would be a major pain to actually implement if there was a powerfailure, I'll go with 2x500GB disks and 2x750.
Vol F: RAID 5: 500*4 = 1500GB
Vol G: RAID 1: 250*2 = 250GB
Total: 1750GB

Re: nas 1200s firmware upgrade
I am curious about how you have it setup. Can you go through it for me? I thought you mentioned that it would not boot with the 750s in, but then you say it rebuilds after reboot. Can you give me low down on you have it setup. I rarely have to reboot, so this might work out for me.
John:
I would be curious to know how you have that setup as well. I assume your boot partition is still mirrored with a primary and secondary (recovery)? Once all installed with the 500gb, then you go back and add the 250GB RAID 1 on the last two drives?
Thanks
Eric
