❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Is this Fujitsu RAID controller compatible with modern SATA drives?
No, this 2XU320 RAID controller 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 equipment with a 100% functional guarantee. Each unit is thoroughly inspected by our qualified technicians before shipping. We offer a professional 30-day warranty covering all operational defects. The product may show light cosmetic wear with no impact on 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 drives depends on your server configuration, available backplanes, and assigned SCSI IDs. For typical server applications, you usually find 4 to 8 drives in RAID 5 or 10 configurations.
Q4: Are RAID drivers and 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 website. 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 128MB version and versions with more cache memory?
Cache capacity directly affects read/write performance, especially during intensive write operations with RAID 5 or 6. The 128MB cache is perfectly suited for standard file server applications, light databases, and moderate virtualization. For very intensive workloads, versions with 256MB or 512MB may offer better performance, but the difference remains marginal for most typical professional uses.
Q6: How is shipping handled 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 business hours after payment is received. You will immediately receive a tracking number allowing you to follow your parcel in real time until delivery. Delivery times vary depending on your geographic location, generally between 2 and 5 business days within mainland France.
Q7: Does this controller support hot-swap and hot replacement?
The RAID controller itself supports hot-swap operations at the software and firmware level, allowing replacement of faulty drives without system shutdown. However, effective hot-swap functionality also depends on the server chassis and the presence of hot-swap compatible backplanes. On Fujitsu PRIMERGY servers equipped with hot-plug SCSI trays, this feature 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 data in the cache in case of sudden power loss, ensuring complete writing to the disks upon reboot. The BBU connector is present on the card. The BBU is not included with this controller and must be purchased separately if needed.
