    Resolved [RESOLVED] Hardware problem - best forum?

    I am having an awful problem with my Promise FastTrak S150 SX4 RAID controller.

    What is the best forum/website for posting hardware problems?

    Re: Hardware problem - best forum?

    To sum it up, the RAM chip in my old Promise RAID card was faulty, I freaked, replaced it, backed up 40GB to an IDE harddrive, which burned up the next day (the disk was burning silicon+smoking), which was the boot drive for the RAID PC, the new PC could not see the new RAID hardware and drive properly, I freaked, then solved that problem too.

    I love my 4-yr-old RAID 5 $800 tera-byte drive! LOLz
