Silicon Image has had drivers for the 680 on their site for a couple months
now. "Lilo Lentz" wrote in message ... Hi there I've searched everywhere to find a compatible driver for VISTA: Silicon Image SiI 0680 Ultra-133 Medley ATA RAID Controller Has anyone found one, that works? Sincerely Lilo |

Do you then also have trouble with the Promise FastTrak 378 Controller?

I've already tried all drivers from there... no one worked for me.

Sincerely Lilo Those drivers are for pure IDE, They do not support the RAID configuration :/ (Medley control tool) |

I have the same problem. I can't install the drivers downloaded from Silicon
Image's web page. "Lilo Lentz" wrote: I've already tried all drivers from there... no one worked for me. "Peter M" skrev i meddelelsen ...

Medley ATA RAID Controller driver for Vista?
32-bit version is downloadable he
http://www.siliconimage.com/support/...d=2&osid =4&; SiI0680/0680A 32-bit Windows RAID Driver 1.0.1.7 1/24/2005 139 KB It's the WinXP 32-bit driver - but works perfectly in Vista I used it for 6-months during Vista betas, and RTM - no problems at all x64-bit version is available he http://www.siliconimage.com/support/...d=2&osid =8&; It's the SiI 0680/0680A 64-bit Windows RAID Driver 1.0.0.0 12/16/2005 635 KB version It's the WinXP 64-bit driver - but works perfectly in Vista - used without a problem since beginning of December 2006 when I re-installed Vista x64 (from 32bit, using the above driver) There is also a tool called "SilCFG forMedley", you don't need it by default - it just provides some feedback and SMART monitoring ability - which is now built into Vista performance/reliability monitor now. Vista now also defaults to the fastest UDMA mode for the controller - so you don't need it for maximum performance. The last version of Medley v1.2.0.5 works for me perfectly on both Vista 32-bit & 64-bit. Setup/Load/Configuration & Monitoring are all working 100%. (if I could post a screencap I would!) My Vista's are always clean installs. The last version released is downloadable from http://www.siliconimage.com/docs/SiI...iICfg-1205.zip The other important thing is not to flash the RAID BIOS with the NON-RAID update (v3.2.2.0) - as this will* also convert the RAID controller into a standard IDE controller. * There are two main flavours of the Sil0680 card - one with a jumper which you can manually set RAID or IDE, and one without. If you have a version without, then it relies on the BIOS info to enable or disable the RAID functions - which is why you MUST NOT flash a RAID controller with a NON-RAID (ie IDE) BIOS. If the POST/BIOS boot screens on your PC still show the controller as a RAID one, then you're fine as far as the BIOS goes - just use the drivers I linked to, and you'll get RAID under Vista. Unfortunately, the link you left contains several IDE (non-raid) BIOS updates. The last official RAID BIOS version was v3.2.1.0. However, of you have the version of the card with the Jumper, then you can actually use the later v3.2.2.24 (!use at your own risk! !you break it - tough luck! ) So, in brief - All versions of Vista (32-bit & x64) work with the 0680 Silicon Image ATA-133 RAID Controller, using the driver links above as well as the SilCFG for Medley monitoring software. Hope that this helps. |
