SplitCam 10.7.7 Installation: Understanding Common Issues

When installing SplitCam 10.7.7, users may encounter issues related to the RAID controller assuming drives as dropped or damaged due to timeout. This can result in a degraded or even unusable RAID set. One common cause of this issue is the use of 'Green' drives, which have slower spin-up times and tend to enter power-saving mode aggressively.

To avoid these problems, it's recommended to choose drives that are not as aggressive with their power consumption. Additionally, it's important to note that SplitCam 10.7.7 supports Optical Drives, including IDE, SATA CD/DVD-ROM, and Blu-ray drives.

When choosing a drive for your RAID setup, keep in mind that different operating systems have limitations on the maximum supported hard drive size. For example, XP 32-bit only supports up to 2TB. HDD controllers are capable of supporting all HDD sizes, but it's essential to ensure that your chosen OS can support the drives you plan to use.

SplitCam 10.7.7 provides two modes for users: Mode 1 allows expanding two ATA and two SATA devices without constructing a RAID setup. This mode is compliant with the Serial ATA 1.0 specification. In each mode, users have the option to select booting from an HD connected to the motherboard or RC-212.

When installing a new system using SplitCam 10.7.7, users may need a floppy drive to process the installation if they choose to install from an HD connected to RC-212. Overall, understanding these common issues and taking steps to avoid them can ensure a smooth installation experience with SplitCam 10.7.7.
