❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Is this Fujitsu RAID controller compatible with modern SATA drives?
No, this RAID controller 2XU320 is exclusively designed for Ultra320 SCSI hard drives and earlier versions (Ultra160, Ultra2 SCSI). It does not support SATA or SAS drives. For SATA/SAS drives, you will need a newer generation RAID controller compatible with SAS 6Gb/s or higher.
Q2: What is the exact condition of the product and what warranty do you offer?
The controller is sold as tested used and guaranteed to be fully functional. Each unit is meticulously checked by our qualified technicians before shipping. We offer a professional 30-day warranty covering all operational defects. The product may show slight aesthetic signs of use without impacting performance.
Q3: How many SCSI hard drives can I connect to this RAID controller?
Thanks to its dual-channel architecture with 2 internal ports and 2 external ports, this controller can theoretically manage up to 14 SCSI devices (7 per channel). In practice, the number of disks depends on your server configuration, available backplanes, and assigned SCSI IDs. For typical server applications, you usually find 4 to 8 disks in RAID 5 or 10 configuration.
Q4: Are drivers and RAID management software provided with the controller?
No, only the physical controller card is provided. Drivers, configuration utilities, and RAID management software must be downloaded for free from the Fujitsu or LSI support site. BIOS configuration tools are integrated into the card's firmware and accessible at startup. We recommend ServerView RAID Manager for management under Windows and Linux.
Q5: What is the difference between this version with 128MB and the versions with more cache memory?
The cache capacity directly influences read/write performance, particularly during intensive write operations with RAID 5 or 6. The 128MB cache is perfectly suited for standard file server applications, lightweight databases, and moderate virtualization. For very intensive loads, versions with 256MB or 512MB may offer better performance, but the difference remains marginal for most classic professional uses.
Q6: How is shipping managed and what is the delivery time?
All our products are shipped in professional shockproof packaging to ensure maximum protection during transport. Shipping is done within 24 working hours after payment is received. You will immediately receive a tracking number allowing you to track your package in real-time until delivery. Delivery times vary according to your geographical location, generally between 2 and 5 working days in mainland France.
Q7: Does this controller support hot-swap functionality and hot replacement?
The RAID controller itself supports hot-swap operations at the software and firmware level, allowing the replacement of failed disks without system downtime. However, the effective hot-swap functionality also depends on the server chassis and the presence of compatible hot-swap backplanes. On Fujitsu PRIMERGY servers equipped with hot-plug SCSI drawers, this functionality is fully operational.
Q8: Can a Battery Backup Unit (BBU) be added to this controller?
Yes, this Fujitsu RAID controller is compatible with optional Battery Backup Unit modules. The BBU protects the data in the cache in case of a sudden power outage, ensuring their complete writing to the disks upon restart. The BBU connector is present on the card. The BBU is not included with this controller and must be purchased separately if needed.
