In its default configuration, the new Escalade 9500 series is shipped with 128MB cache. The cache memory is provided by means of a 144-pins SO-DIMM module, which can be replaced by memory modules with a maximum capacity of 1GB. At the moment 512MB is the limit because 1GB SDRAM SO-DIMMs are scarcely available. An optional battery backup unit (BBU) prevents the loss of data in the write-back cache when a power failure occurs. The hardware implementation of the Escalade 9500S largely remained the same compared to its predecessor. The SRAM chips could be omitted because the SO-DIMM is also used for RAM. These chips, named 200-0033-00, are now in use for several years. Native Serial ATA is still lacking in the design, and it seems a native Serial ATA solution won't be appearing in the near future. Besides the 8-port version, which will be tested in this article, 3ware provides models with four and twelve ports. The eight and twelve port versions are available in ML versions supporting multi-lane connections. 3ware has developed its own solution to combine four Serial ATA-ports in one InfiniBand connection, so that the number of cables can be reduced four times. A chassis with a multi-lane backplane is required to use multi-lane cables. Support for RAID 50, adapter teaming, and 64-bit LBA have been added. 3ware is promising the addition of online capacity expansion and online RAID level migration in future firmware updates. With those extensions the featureset of 3ware's RAID software stack would reach the enterprise level. The firmware update has been in the pipeline for quite some time now, but so far has not been delivered. According to the original roadmap, online capacity expansion and online RAID level migration were planned for the summer of 2004. The driver support for the Escalade 9500S is similar to the Escalade 8506; pretty good. A very irritating feature of the Escalade 9500S-8, which nagged us horribly during testing, was the habit of this adapter to lock hard disks, as a result of which they could no longer be used by other controllers. There are two ways to make the hard disk accessible for other controllers. The first way is to reconnect the drive to the Escalade 9500 and configure the drive as a single disk in the management tool. The second method of unlocking the drive is by using the obscure hotkey -r in the management tool. Although putting a lock on the disks helps preventing the disk to be written by accident there is also a potential danger: if the Escalade or the array fails, it won't be possible to reconstruct the data on the array by using recovery tools on a system with a non-3ware controller. We would prefer not to have the locking feature. It can be really frustrating for the user, especially because you can only learn about the existence of this 'feature' by reading the manual. We all know that most users only read manuals after a problem arises. In our case, we were hinted about the existence of the locking feature in an appendix to the RAIDCore BC4852 manual. The webbased managment interface is simple and effective by design. Similar to its predecessor, the Escalade 9500S-8 comes with a firm price tag.RAIDCore BC4852 13. Feature comparison (1) 14.

See the seller’s listing for full details and description of any imperfections. When I first became interested there were two players: Promise and Highpoint. Slowly I began to hear of 3ware, a company that produced great products, but at a high price. At that time RAID 0 and 1 were about it, and then Promise released the SuperTrak100 and Adaptec released the AAA-UDMA, both touting RAID 5. At that time 3ware released a BIOS and driver update for their Escalade 6000 series that added RAID 5. Of course there was no onboard RAM cache, so performance was lackluster. Then with the second wave of ATA RAID 5 3ware released the Escalade 7000 series and things looked up. We’re looking at the Escalade 7500-8, an ATA RAID controller capable of handling 8 drives in RAID 0,1,5,10 and JBOD ( just a bunch of disks ) in a Windows 2000 environment. I read through the manual to get a feel for the product: it’s a thin photocopy that covers the basics. The manual covers the Escalade 6000 and 7000 series, so the photos in the manual are of 6000 series cards. What I found odd was that the 7.4 driver revision notes were thicker than the manual. Even so, the manual was straight forward and easy going for anyone with RAID experience. A central 3ware 200-0017-00 chip for RAID calculations and their own StorSwitch technology, two 3ware 200-0033-00 chips to each handle four ATA133 ports. Unfortunately there’s no information regarding individual ASICs on the 3ware website. Two 150 MHz 0.9 MB IDT memory chips for a total of 1.8 MB onboard cache, although I’ve read it online as 2 MB cache available. A few other chips on the board I was unable to identify, plus a four pin LED connector. The board is compact, reasonably short and well laid out. Installed the drivers, rebooted and installed 3DM, 3ware Disk Management Utility for Windows. Creating, deleting and repairing RAID arrays is done via the card’s BIOS at boot up, and employs a simple and easy to understand interface. Creating RAID 0, 1 and 10 arrays was immediate: creating RAID 5 arrays took some time as X’s are written to test. This is good feature but takes some time. While it was inconvenient for testing and benchmarking, users should see this as a nice safety feature. As with all RAID products, the Escalade 7500-8 showed as a SCSI controller in Device Manager, and arrays show under disk drives. This runs as a web server, so access is through your browser and accessed locally or over your network. Again, easy to use and straight forward. Linux users have the CLI, or 3ware Command Line Interface. After a few weeks the board stopped working, so I took advantage of 3ware’s technical support. The system hung at the Escalade 7500-8’s BIOS and wouldn’t go any further. First you register your product online and create a profile, then submit a problem report. Within a day I received an RMA for the board, and since I selected cross shipment by providing my credit card, I received a replacement board within a week. Very nice and smooth technical support. Performance was ho hum and nothing special. Following Storage Review’s forums on 3ware products revealed users resorting to registry hacks and changing disks from basic to dynamic to get better performance. Then a posting revealed a new driver revision, 7.6, that gave a real performance boost without the “voodoo” tweaking. Redid all benchmarks with the 7.6 driver, firmware and 3DM releases. Doing this revealed the product forces you to update all three items, another nice feature to keep things as 3ware wants it. If you need to use 8 or 12 drives, they’re the only player in town. The Escalade 7500-4LP is a four drive low profile adapter and fits just about anywhere, another great plus. The only concern is cost: expect to pay 50-100 more for 3ware cards compared to Promise’s FastTrak SX4000. In this case you get what you pay for: the best performance for the highest price.

You might see if it works with just 2 of your 8506-8 cards to trouble shoot. One of the reasons I went to ESXi was so that I could just install unRAID as an appliance and still use other VMs for other things I wanted to do on the same box. I'm more comfortable with Windows based PCs. If that is true then yes you would have to compile a custom kernal for unRAID to run on.I tried this with my 9550sx cards, but that didn't work.You will probably have to compile your own kernel to get driver support.
