Re: Sonnet Fusion D500P

[Nick Franco] "i have always had 10 seagate Baracudas 500gb raided zero in these cases and never had a problem till now. Is the Maxtor the only drives that have this 4-5 bay raid problem?
i've been speaking to sonnet and they have never mentioned this, but i guess that is because it doesn't apply to the seagate barracudas."

Nothing to do with the brand of drive.
The note from Sonnett plainly stated:

"Note: This enclosure has been
qualified for up to a 4-drive RAID
(not a 5-drive RAID), and only for
drives with capacity up to 500GB
(not 750GB and greater)."

It's a simple matter of the power supply not being capable of supplying enough power to start 5 drives spinning up together, and maintain this power during heavy use.

If you read my post carefully, Sonnet (California office) told me on july 7, 2007:

""We started putting that sticker on the last batch of Fusion 500P's we shipped as we were noticing problems. Shortly after that, we beefed up the power supply, changed the product SKU and started shipping everything with drives in them."

The new Fusion D500P E-series removes this restriction.
