Bios Mods -The Best BIOS Update and Modification Source

I have an Retail Adaptec SAS RAID 5805 that supports the ability to power off unused HDD's

I also have an OEM SAS RAID 5085 how ever the Funtion to do so with this card is Disabled and no way to force Adaptecs Bios onto it from what i can tell

the card is Rebadged as an Sun STK Raid EXT

Does any one know of a Solution for this >?

If only it was the other way around it would not have been a problem but I need the External card to support power off functions or else I have 100 HDD's Running 24 /7

will gladly pay for a reasonable solution

Sorry but i cant help you this one

Hopefully someone will be able to help

You might want to check the 2CPU forums for this. They're pretty experienced with RAID card stuff.

thanks for that never heard of them before

I ended up selling that raid card and decided to build an ZFS Raidz system just keeping the 5805 now for windows to use

Nice. I'd take RAID-Z over any RAID card any day (if I could spare having to have an OpenSolaris/FreeBSD installation to handle storage, anyway)
