AMS Venus T5J DS2350J 5 Bay SATA enclosure BY Jmicron JMB393  RAID 5 with Hot Spare auto rebuil Logo

Posted on Sep 26, 2010

I have a Venus T5 DS-2350J. Using 64 bit Windows 7, raid 5 with five 1TB drives operates unreliably. Drives sometimes show bad but those same drives work fine in a 2 drive mirror. When I do get a raid 5 volume defined using five 1TB drives and the raid management software reports a good volume with 4TB of usable space, Windows disc management utility shows the volume capacity as roughly 1.7TB. The PC has a BioStar TA760G M2+ motherboard with 2.5GB ram. Motherboard raid is disabled in the bios.

Where can I download the drivers for Windows?

Drivers are for equipment, (hardware), in or connected to your computer, ie printer, network card, usb, video card etc. Windows is pretty good at finding the drivers for them automatically but if it fails you need to go to the manufacturers web site and download the appropriate driver. Or, if the hardware came with a disk insert the disk and run the install program which should automatically install the driver.

Drivers for Windows are supplied with with the operating system that you purchase from Microsoft or your local supplier.

Windows Password Key 8.0 is considered as the best tool to reset local...

You can change a Windows User Account password that is on any Windows computer from any other Windows computer regardless of whether the User Account is on a workstation, a stand-alone server, or a Windows domain controller. Additionally, it makes no difference whether the password being changed from a workstation, a stand-alone server, or a Windows domain controller. This is true for any NT 4.0, W2K, XP Pro and Windows Server 2003 computer.
To change a user's password at the command prompt, log on as an administrator and type:

net user danielp * /domain
(This is only an example, use your own username)
When you are prompted to type a password for the user, type the new password, not the existing password. After you type the new password, the system prompts you to retype the password to confirm. The password is now changed.
Alternatively, you can type the following command:

net user danielp 123456 /domain
When you do so, the password changes without prompting you again. This command also enables you to change passwords in a batch file.
Note: If you type these commands on a member server or workstation and you don't add the /domain switch, the command will be performed on the local SAM and NOT on the DC SAM.

My raid keeps failing and I've had both hard drives thoroughly tested by a reoutable pc repair (overclocker uk) and they say the drives are fine. When I start the pc one moment its ok then next thing it...

My guess is that the RAID adapter (either a separate add-in PCI card, or integrated into the motherboard) is intermittently failing.

Either replace that add-in card, or replace (under warranty???) the motherboard.

Supposedly, there are no additional drivers required. Windows 7 should be able to use it by default:

I have recently purchased a new HDD (I now have 2 Hitachi P7K500 HDDs) and built it into my system. I have first formatted the HDD I already had, then configured my BIOS for use of RAID 0. My mobo (MSI...

1. If you are just setting up your computer to have an a regular HDD and Backup HDD, i would think you should be able to set that up by booting onto your computer regularly, go to start, then into My Computer and right clicking on the HDD you want to set as Raid 1.

But if just want that other HDD for Space on your computer, all you had to do was plug it in and there you go... extra space.

Now if your installing windows 7 on the other drive i would find that pointless because you already have it on your first drive unless your putting 2 operating systems onto your computer.

Hope this helps.

I have a asus AV7 with a amd 64 bit processor 2 gigs of ram windows Xp Pro 7 dvd burners NEC 16x and 2 120 gig 133HZ.sata drives and 4 133 ATA hard drives 133 maxtor 120 gig configured in a raid stripped 0...

There is a glitch on those AV7 boards ata controler I think. Check the website for the new drivers supposedly they help, but all they did was crash my raid after I installed them. I ended up cloning the whole raid over to a single large sata drive and put in an ide to sata card (non raid unfortunately) and the problem went away. I only had the problem under very heavy disk loading. It seemed to not be quite so bad when I added some additional cooling aimed at the motherboard. As to if it will help your software problem I am unsure. However the only time mine did the mini dump was when I was doing heavy video editing work and after nixing the raid it fixed it, But then again a bad drive in a raid can cause that also.
