Hi,

In the "VTrak Ex30 and Jx30 Drive Compatibility List" section of the "VTrak Ex30 SR6.2 Compatibility List v1.06" it lists 512n and 512e 12 Gb/s drives, however I have not been able to bring online (tested) Hitachi 4 TB SAS drives. Specifically, the HGST HUS726040ALS210 drive shows no sign of life when inserted into a J630S. Inserting the HUS726040ALS210 drives into the built-in SAS/SATA slots of a Dell server and other JBODs works normally.

Is there a workaround for this or any other way to bring these drives online in a J630S?

 

Thank you!

I'm experincing the same issue now, after weeks of testing different SAS drives in different enclosures I have been unable to get any of my 12Gb/s drives to work in the J630s.

My firmware is up to date on the JBOD and has been re-installed just incase.

I've tested many different configurations of varying JBODs and HBA cards and the only device that wont talk to these 12Gb/s SAS drives is the J630s.

Anybody got an answer ?

12Gb/s SAS drives are not compatible with the 6Gb Ex/Jx30. You will need a dongle that will allow these drives to be used.

 

Kindly contact sales@promise.com to purchase the 12G SAS dongle board.
