HighPoint RocketRaid 3522 Problems
by Randall Brown on May 26, 2008 at 10:20:25 pm

I am having some problems, and I wanted to see if anyone else was seeing the same thing that I am. I have rolled my own RAID 5 Set-up around the Highpoint 3522

- Highpoint RocketRaid 3522
- 5 Seagate 1TB 7200.11 drives configured as RAID 5
- Enhance M8L Enclosue (8 Drive Sata Infiniband Enclosure)
- MacPro 8 core 2.8, 10 GB RAM, 2 400 GB Seagate Drives inside, ATI Card
- Mac OS X 10.5.2 & FCS2 both freshly installed and configured

Here is what is happening

- On large file READS / Tansfers OFF the RAID, the finder locks up and the card locks up. I discovered when I went to move a project off the RAID to a G-Raid Mini for the road, and the finder locked up. I could not copy the data off the RAID. I could read it just fine and edit off it just fine, but if I tried to move the files in mass, the finder would hang and the card would lock up, or worse it would cause a kernel panic.

- AJA Speed tests show me in the high 300s for reads and write, though on the read it does hang for a second at the end, but eventually ends and reports out.

- The RAID array has been completely wiped and rebuilt, the driver uninstalled and reinstalled, and the card updated, and the system drive completely rebuilt from scratch, but still no dice. Again if I edit normal off it in DVCPROHD its fine, but when I go to move lots of data it locks up.

Anyone out there with this card? Could you try to move a folder of files 30+ GBs off your RAID and let me know what happens. Again none of my normal work on it showed this issue.

I am waitting to talk to the guys at HIghpoint tommorrow, the drives have been tested and they passed SMART and some other tools. Its odd, I am thinking driver, or i may have gotten a dud. But if anyone out there could test this for me, it would be appreciated.
