I've seen the page with the pics of that server, and I agree with this issue.
So I'd like to try to reverse half of the disks too, how would you advice to do
this?
My current setup is as follows, where up is normal disk upside paced, and down
is with upside plate down and electronics side up:

I've heard that this can cause performance issues and undue wear on
the drive. The reasoning is that since the arm

It comes with one 4-in-3 drive cage and has room for 2 more (3 if you
remove the front I/O panel). The drive cages are excellent - mounted

Yeah, all 3 controllers I've tested broke 137GB barrier. Unfortunately it seems
that 500GB barrier is unbreakable for them ;-)
Thanks for reply though.

I'dont know really. They just hang during POST while determining size of
attached hard drives. 400GB and 500GB drives works without problem. Also,
onboard controller detects all 8 750GB disks, so the problemy must be on the

cjgibbs , do You know maybe if this Promise SATA300 Tx4 controller supports
750GB hard drives? I can't find any information about that anywhere...

Oops, that was the wrong link, but same info anyways:
The SATA300 TX4 also includes large LBA support for drives above
137GB, and its onboard BIOS automatically identifies and configures
drive type.
