Mint Peripherals who is this company ?????
 

Hi

Does somebody know who is the manufacturer of Mint Peripherals SATA raid controller (like http://www.pcworld.pl/testy/opis/KON...ml?image=43969).
I need to find web page of the manufacturer.

thx for help.

Never heard of them.
They could just be rebranding chinese stuff. You can try for an FCC id, the US equivalent of a CE scheme (sort of). Everything sold into the states needs an fcc id and you can look those up.

I found it.
This is the link http://mint-electronics.com/
I guess it is polish company that might be rebranding chinese stuff.
HOwever I have an issue with their product.

I use its SATA RAID controller on PCI-E on some desktop to setup RAID1 mirror of 2 disks.
It is very unusual behavior because 3 disk is reported to be broken in this array. Third disk means that three times I had to replace broken disk in this array under this controller.

Is it possible for this controller to damage somehow disks in array ?

thx for help.

If I read correctly, Raid 1 images 2 disks, preferably on 2 separate control systems, and has a complete data set on each. What is disk 3 doing? What goes wrong if you tell it disk 3 isn't there, or simply give it the middle finger whan it throws errors and ignore it?

I mean that it is third disk that I have to replace in this array because there is log entry saying that disk is broken.

My question was, Is it possible for the controller to damage disk in array set ?

thx for help.

It is a faux raid controller I'd guess. I never trust them.
