I have a Dell Poweredge 2950 and a few SSDs of varying capacities:

 

2x240gb in RAID 1 (OS)

 

2x240gb in RAID 0

 

4x480gb in RAID 0

 

I have run into some issues when plotting. I have found that only TurboPlotter will even open in this particular case. When trying to plot, Turboplotter will work without any issue for up to 30 minutes. After that, I get an error, saying "Received ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND from Windows WriteFile API." When using TurboPlotter's checking utility on the part of the plot file that completed successfully, every section of the file comes up as yellow instead of green. On the actual server, a drive in the RAID that the plot file is on will blink in orange instead of green, which means that it thinks that something is wrong with it. It isn't always the same drive that appears as bad. After testing the supposedly faulty drive, it is completely normal. After formatting it and putting it back in, it's completely normal, until I try to plot it again. I have had this entire result happen multiple times, including on different RAIDS, and with different drives.

 

I could try updating the RAID controller's firmware. It is most likely the original one that came with it, and the server is from 2009 or 2010.

 

In addition to that, I could also try plotting the files externally. Let's say I plotted a drive on a normal PC. I then copied the plot file onto a USB drive. After that, I put the original drive into the server, initialized it (deletes all data from it), and I transfer the plot file from the USB drive to the original drive, inside of the new server. In this case, I would need to run each drive separately. All drives would have a virtual disk for itself, except for the OS virtual drive, which is in RAID 1 with another drive.

 

Does this solution have a chance of working?
