I purchased this RAID 5 controller: Rosewill RSV-S5 SATA 3G 2.5" & 3.5" HDD 5-Bay RAID 0/1/5/10/5+spare/Spanning/JBOD Storage Enclosure System with 120mm cooling fan/ Port Multiplier/ PCIe card included/ Tray design - Newegg.com
It has never worked. I have installed 5 1TB HDDs, and the controller card bios only recognizes 1 drive.
The Disk Manager sees all 5 of the drives, so I ran the HDDs as pass-through, and used Windows' "Storage Spaces" to create a parity drive.
Files under 2gb can be moved to the storage space (Nefas, the N: drive) while only occasionally causing the display drivers to stop, and sometimes BSODing. Files larger than that cannot be transferred without causing a DPC timeout: corrupting the file.
I figured one option may be to extend the timeout period in the registry, but I don't know how. Optimally, the controller card bios should be able to set up a RAID 5 array, but from what I gather Silicone Image is known for their bad hardware, which is probably why only 1/5 of the HDDs are recognized in it's bios.
I have installed various operating systems (XP, Vista, Server 2012, 8), every driver available for this tower (most recent vista drivers :X); tried creating a RAID 5 array through the disk management menu, and through the included ArrayManager software for the tower. (Both methods always fail and orphans one of the drives).
Attached are the diagnostic logs.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thank you for your time.
