#Hp mediasmart server ex470 drivers update#

Neither the Seagate drives nor the DS2350S system has a spin down mode. HP home server does not like its drives to go asleep. HP claims that the drives are going into spin down mode to save energy in the 'green' operation. The HP server then goes into alarm telling me that I have lost my drives. I am having problems with my tower though becasuse in about 1 to 1 /12 hours of operation the two drives I am using change from green to green and red LEDs. I got this data directly from HP tech support.

The 5th bay is usless unless you use it for a spare drive in case one fails.

Please note that the HP eењЋX470 ESATA port will allow access to only 4 ESATA drives. I hope they come out with the new driver soon that fixes both of these problems. And yes, I also have the same problem as the person earlier in that the HP Home server has to be rebooted to recognize any changes with new or removed drives from the AMS Venus T5. Other than that, it works great as a 4 drive expansion unit. Is my problem driver related? I really don't know and can't figure it out since the driver is no longer available. Apparently it was causing some spontaneous reboots of some user's systems.

I tried to do the driver update mentioned earlier in this post and that driver is no longer available. Tried it this morning with the exact same results. I got an RMA from NewEgg and just got a replacement unit yesterday. I can't get my HP Home Server to recognize any drive I put in the top bay. Everything works perfect except the top drive bay. I loaded it with a WD 500GB,В a Seagate 750GB, and two Samsung 500GB drives. I ordered one from NewEgg a couple of weeks ago. 'How does the AMS Venus T5 Work on HP Home Server?'ДЇor me? Not so well.
