The Secret LSI Firmware Hack I've Never Shared

Saw the trick a mile away, was know for some time.

That was just mean! Still love ya though!

I tried the secret photon hack with the Sc200 Compellent that you recommended yesterday. Incredible increase in throughput.

Just applied this! Thank you so much. Can’t believe the results!

lmfao....you got jokes on this day I see. Good one

:D :D

tried it, saw smoke now my card is dead, thanks.

Funny guy. What a trickster.

I'm going outside I'm not messing with the Internet anymore today 😅

Great utility! Thanks for posting the download link.
But....seems to work only on Linux. I tried this on eComstation and the command failed with an error.
Please port this to REXX.

🙀

Haha, verry good. LOL

good one =)

Tried and it worked, this is the most forbidden art of ZFS ever!
















Ok it didn't work.















Happy fool

I would go straight to -- level 11 :)

Note to self never watch videos on April 1st

Wow what an insane discovery! I updated my HBA and now my 7200RPM drives are able to spin at 900000RPM! Thanks AoS! I am so happy that I pay for $999 a month Patreon tier to get access to this. Amazing!

April Fools!

Why am I getting an error about incorrect flux capacitor HW ver. when I try this??? lol

Jerk! Lol

I ache with embarrassment

It didn't work for me but it got Voyager home

great job ;) Next year I want a hack for my disk shelf controllers to upgrade them to SAS4. Or a hack to upgrade my spinners to SSDs :)

This was so well executed.
I had an idea it was an April fools video but then it started looking legit and then the bench numbers come back. Nope.
I assume you used a SSD raid to get the boosted numbers.

How do you fake this process, the dd command and the flash UI? Everything looks so real.

@ArtofServer if you have the time, maybe you could lend a hand to all of us over at the unraid sas spindown plugin forum. We are trying to work out why some drives mainly seagates fail to spin down to dell servers with hba cards

Great! Not only didn't it work as expected, but my motherboard refuses to clock the cpu at nothing more than 25 MHz!

This DOES work but you FIRST need to solder wires directly into the drive pcb. The standard SATA power connector does not have the contact surface nor thermal mass to run the drives this hard, which is why manufacturers down clock them in the first place and why some enterprise drives have dual power connectors.

Use at least a 10ga thin stranded ground, and 12ga positive wires on the drive. You can wire nut them back to the normal psu wires as long as it's about the same cross section of wire. WAGO connectors work the best.

Add thermal paste and an active cooler to the drive as well before you even go download the tool. It's not worth compiling it if you don't have the soldering and thermal paste done right first.

Microcenter can actually do this if you ask for it specifically, but just know it will void your warranty.

And either use a 1200w psu, or use a car battery with high cranking amps in parallel with the 12v rail to give you a bit of buffer when the drive is really using that power. I've actually seen it burst as high as 1.21 gigawats! Crikey!

Wow ... How is possible to write on disk more then disk protocol can handle? 😅 Was want to order from your store so many time but import to europe is insane costly...

God damn it.
