updated new card with same firmware that the last card had. No dice. Still doesn't recognize my RAID config.

got LSI MegaRAID Storage Manager installed and it too sees the drives as 2TB. It scanned for a foreign configuration and came up with nothing.

I've reached the point where I'm ok with losing the data if I can just get this rebuilt, I'll start re-rendering my files. Problem now is the 2tb/3tb issue. What next?

Are the drives showing up at 2tb in controller's bios screen or after the os is loaded? I'm pretty sure the very first version of the H800 supported 3tb drives.

I is confused.

Yeah, I'm stumped too.

Are these SATA or SAS drives? Shouldn't even matter though, since the original card could see them as 3TB, the replacement should too.

All I can think is that the enclosure itself is the issue.

Or maybe it's something inside the enclosure.

oddly enough, put old card back in (with the new DIMM), booted in 'safe mode' and it came up without errors. Rebooted several times in normal mode and still no problems. Whatever.
