Hi,

I recently just installed a RAID card in our 2008 Xserve.

Works fine with 3 500gb Seagate drives, but we needed more space and purchased the 1tb RE3 edition Western Digital Drives.

For some reason they never show in Raid Utility? Normally it only take a few mins for the drive to show, but the dont seem to want to display the WD drives.

Are they not compatible with the xserve?

Thanks


UPDATE - Done a RAID card firmware update. After running this i reinserted the three 1tb drives. Bay one has shown up after about 15 mins. Do the drives take a long time to initialise?

Another UPDATE- Just been told that i need to buy Apple Drive modules!! Is this right?
