thanks for taking the time to do this, very helpful. God Bless you

[@arcticjoe1142]

Mr. V, this series of three videos is great. Thank you for making them. I realize they were made years ago and are old, but the technology is pretty much the same and I have always been confused by physical vs logical disks and what an OS actually sees. In my new job I am dealing with Dell servers with PERC and I never knew how to manage it. Thank you. I watch your videos all the time. Good stuff... Joe

[@uno-tu9xx]

Thank you. Your tutorial was a great help.

[@TechsavvyProductions]

It is very old but I am glad it helped!

[@mixsetup]

Thank's heaps there. I had to hit control+A though on my Poweredge 4600. You made it all so easy. The only thing is I have 3xSeagate and 1 Fujitsu so I could not include the Fujitsu in my Raid 5. Thank's again.

[@sakayaraj]

Excellent video lecture, I always wanted to use raid but never found any links on how to configure raid. This video is really good. It makes me understand how raid works and how it represents the drives to the OS. Hope to view more videos on raid.

[@alamgirhossain-sd1ou]

very good delivery.

[@TechsavvyProductions]

Very old but watched often

[@rjtechie]

Great effort... Great training... Excellent.

[@A_Shehab]

Great effort, very clear to understand.. thank you

[@bangla19]

Wonderful presentation!

[@TechsavvyProductions]

Thanks for watching

[@brierepooc8987]

KZbin has better learning material then schools.

[@TechsavvyProductions]

Schools have their place for education, some institutions do it well and some do not. KZbin can be helpful in many ways. We hope this channel will add to anyone education path. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel.

[@creekvalleyct]

Excellent and very informative. God bless.

[@davecharlesries]

I wish I would have found these videos when I got my poweredge 2950 ii, these would have made it so much easier/quicker.

[@mrityunjaykumar7365]

I will say an excellent video. Hat's off!!!

[@magdcs]

Great explanation

[@TechsavvyProductions]

Thank you for watching!

[@billymisfits]

great video! it was very clear and easy to understand. thank you!

[@rrandy43]

Great presentation can.t wait for part 2. I have a better understanding of RAID Controllers now! No shit(Great Tutorial) do it again

[@superfred11]

I have a problem. The first array desapear (raid1). Now if I re-create the array it will erase data on my disk. What can I do ?

[@jklmn272]

you save my life broda, good video

[@nbd712]

I've got a 2850 and I've put in all six SCSI drives, but only a maximum of four of them are showing up in the RAID GUI, how can I troubleshoot this?

[@mehdiabdennadher7407]

Can we see the status of our physical disk under windows ? I have a doubt about one physical disk under my RAID 5. Thanks,

[@TechsavvyProductions]

Here is list of some SMART tools, you need one that supports Windows and RAID. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_S.M.A.R.T._tools

[@danielmagdziarz7440]

Awesome Lecture! Thank you!

[@MichaelGuy]

what is the difference between a h700 and h700 mini??

[@TechsavvyProductions]

It looks like the h700mini is a smaller controller, supporting fewer drives.

[@EdgardoMatamorosHidalgo]

thanks you saved my life

[@FreakinKatGaming]

Yay servers! This really helpful to me. Nice video

[@RandomPerson-sb5mw]

would you normally install your OS on the array or keep it on its own drive if you starting from scratch?

[@TechsavvyProductions]

For most servers I would put my OS on a RAID 1 Mirror and then decide on what RAID for my Applications and Data, here are a few new videos we did on RAID kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6nch4awqtxmosk and also kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKKzqaiHZs6Vgas I am using HP but the concepts apply to any brand or model.

[@SOS2095]

how do you go to PERC configuration page ? I have only two physical disk is it possible to set up raid 1?

[@gimmieanamedamnit]

Well done! Thank you

[@gregoriovazquez3775]

a lot of thanks for this video it's excellent, i am confused between rebuild and reconstruct option, for example: I have a raid 5, then one disk is damaged and LED is blinked in amber, what option i have to choise to replace the disk and not lose data?

[@selectland1]

Great video.

[@TechsavvyProductions]

Thank you for your encouraging comments!

[@platsak81]

Hi Lowell. Is there a "correct" way to move my current Dell server (RAID1) from a 2TB MBR Array to a 4TB GPT Array? Without reloading OS etc? Cloning or similar option? Thanks!

[@TechsavvyProductions]

Server OS always make these type changes more challenging. Here is some 3rd party tools : www.diskpart.com/articles/convert-raid-to-gpt-4348.html or www.hdd-tool.com/disk-converter/convert-mbr-to-gpt-windows-server-2016.html (step 3 on this site might work)

[@platsak81]

@@TechsavvyProductions Thanks man, really appreciate your comment - I will try that.

[@AKA_Mufasa]

thanks for the tut mate, you have not explained what i need to do exactly, but after watching this, i think i know how, i have Q however, I will not be building a raid array just using my drives independently, i think i have how to achieve this by watching your vid, however will the drives that i use be wiped upon making them single logical drives, thanks again for the tut.

[@TruthSeeker7101]

[@8T8Keez]
