Please excuse my lack of knowledge on RAID Controllers. I've just build a new workstation and since the motherboard is SATA II decided to buy a cheap PERC H310 Controller of Ebay and put 2x120GB Samsung Evo 850 SSD. I thought that since the controller allows up to 6 Gb/s transfer (SATA III) I would be able to double it in RAID0. How-To: RAID Configuration. Supports migration of virtual disks from PERC H310, H710, H710P, and H810 to PERC 9 series. Perform the following steps to configure the driver for the RAID controller on a system that already has Windows installed: 1. Turn off the system.

I've just build a new workstation and since the motherboard is SATA II decided to buy a cheap PERC H310 Controller of Ebay and put 2x120GB Samsung Evo 850 SSD. Flash PERC H310 to IT mode for use with FreeNAS, UnRAID, etc. The PERC H310 is a pretty standard and widely available PCI express RAID controller. A few of my servers have come with them, and I never really ended up using them. It would appear as though this piece-of-crap RAID controller might actually be of some use after all!

Hi,
I currently have a DELL PERC H310 flashed with IT Firmware in my computer. I flashed it using this guide: https://techmattr.wordpress.com/2016/04/11/updated-sas-hba-crossflashing-or-flashing-to-it-mode-dell-perc-h200-and-h310/ I used the firmware that's used in the guide
After flashing I connected all the harddrives. (3x 2TB WD Green, 2x 4TB Red) Booted up. Everything connected and I was good to go.
Now currently I only have one computer which houses everything. So it's my gaming pc/workstation/server. The specs are:
![Raid Raid](/uploads/1/2/6/1/126154402/885759826.jpg)
- Antec Twelvehundred
- Intel Core i7-920
- Gigabyte EX58-UD5 (rev 1.0)
- 24GB Kingston DDR3
- MSI Geforce GTX 970 Gaming 4g
- Samsung 850 EVO 500GB SSD
- RaidSonic Icy Box 555SSK (drive bay)
- 1x 1TB WD Black
- 1x 1TB WD Green
- 1x 2TB WD Green (not in drive bay)
- 3x 2TB WD Green (in drive bay)
- 2x 4TB WD Green (in drive bay)
(URL: http://nl.hardware.info/usersystemen/5112/la-muerte)
And the whole system is running windows 10.
The problem i'm having is that when I try to start a game or benchmark the displaydriver crashes which limits the gpu clockspeed to the minimum. And it somehow throws all of the drives connected to the H310 out of the system. I need to remove them from the drive bay and reconnect them to get them to show up again.
This problem did not happen in the beginning but it is causing problems the last few days. When it happens I also can't reboot my computer because it stays stuck on a black screen. Only shutting down and powering up works.
What I tried so far:
Perc H310 Firmware Download
![Perc h310 adapter driver Perc h310 adapter driver](/uploads/1/2/6/1/126154402/915162130.jpg)
- Removing the driver for the H310 and using the windows one. Did not work
- Trying different drivers for Windows8.1 /Windows 2012R2. P17-P20. Still the same problem.
- Removing the nvidia driver with DDU and reinstalling it. Did not work
Has anybody here encountered this problem before? Or maybe has a solution/ideas I can use?
The only thing I can think of now is updating the firmware on the card to the newest version. I read that there was an A11 of the 6GBPSAS.FW (did not find it yet)
Sorry for the wall of text and any formatting/spelling errors. If anything is unclear please ask :)
