Sammy Posted December 1, 2019 Author Share Posted December 1, 2019 Okay.. technical question. I had 4 HDD's in DrivePool. The OS SSD is toast. How to recover? Can I just install DrivePool on the new m.2 and rebuild from there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Just install the software, it'll recognize the pool parts and recreate the pool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy Posted December 2, 2019 Author Share Posted December 2, 2019 (edited) Will this card work without flashing the f/w? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F401949047895 Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk Edited December 2, 2019 by Sammy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 It says it's an HBA, so it should be ok, but you may want to message the seller and confirm it's in IT mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy Posted December 2, 2019 Author Share Posted December 2, 2019 Good suggestion.. I may not get a card just yet as I only have 4 HDD's to install right now in this case. The rest of my drives were an assortment of SSD's of various makes and sizes that I used for the boot drive and then others for Emby Data, Transcoding, Recordings and then finally Archives of MCEBuddy conversions. Now, with 1TB on the m.2 card I don't need all of these any longer. I will need to hook them up momentarily to get the data and recordings off them then I'm done with them. Eventually I will be able to add more drives to my case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest asrequested Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 It's basically disabling the RAID function. Here's a link https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/what-is-it-mode.328/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest asrequested Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 In a lot of cases, yes. But there are some listed as new that are in IT mode. I have three of them. I may buy a few more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it's their fault if they break it Edited December 2, 2019 by Doofus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammy Posted December 4, 2019 Author Share Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) So how to flash the BIOS on the MoBo for 3000 series Ryzen 7? Do I boot to BIOS then can access the USB from there to flash it? Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk Edited December 4, 2019 by Sammy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Upgrading the motherboard BIOS is easy. You can either put the new one on a thumb drive and boot to the utility, or use the @BIOS app that Gigabyte provides. That's what I use. Then you can just do it in Windows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy Posted December 4, 2019 Author Share Posted December 4, 2019 So even though the CPU is not "compatible" with the MoBo out of the box Windows still works? Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) I think it will still work, but in your case updating before you install Windows is probably best, to prevent any possible installation glitches. It's always fun and games with new tech Just look in the manual, it'll tell you how to do it. Edited December 4, 2019 by Doofus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy Posted December 6, 2019 Author Share Posted December 6, 2019 Won't boot to BIOS. DRAM LED on the MoBo is illuminated red. UGH. Suggestions? Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Did you update the BIOS? Or will it not let you do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy Posted December 6, 2019 Author Share Posted December 6, 2019 Did you update the BIOS? Or will it not let you do that?I am not able to even boot to BIOS. I'll try reseating the RAM and then one by one if it doesn't work. The RAM part number is on the gigabyte AVL.
