All modern Arecas, as far as I know, are SAS/SATA controllers. I'm using all SATA drives with mine.
Way back in the day, I had an Areca 1170, which had 24 SATA ports on it, but that was like 10 years ago. So you're talking about controllers with only SATA ports on them?
Very cool!
Here's what I'm seeing:

Been meaning to ask, what is that "RAID DummyDevice" that is always showing up?
DBG file attached.
Martin, my friend is reporting that this latest version fixed all his instability issues, so I'd say everything appears to be working 100% now with regards to Areca support. My friend is expecting a 1883 controller soon. I'll be sure to report any findings he has with it once he gets it online.
Here is my friends DBG file. He said it crashed while running to create the file, so hopefully there will be some useful info in it. I'll have him disable EC Support.
Doh, not sure how I missed that. Yep, works fine.
From my perspective, everything looks great now. My front with the 1880 is having some issues with this latest version. He stated the following:
--- cut ---
This version is very buggy for me. When I ran it again, it showed the IPMI...
One thing I'm noticing with this version, if I minimize the sensor window, all (HWiNFO) windows minimize and I don't see a way to bring them back. I still see it running under Background processes in Task Manager.
My friend tested the new version and it now shows each raid set as a node.
About the only issue he's having, is that under Sensors, the raid set stats are not showing up. I don't have that issue in my 1882 controllers.
I'll see if I can get a DBG file from him.
EDIT. DBG file...
Another question, I'm using Aquasuite and HWiNFO together. It appears that I have to keep the HWiNFO sensor window open in order for the sensor readings that I'm mapping over to Aquasuite to refresh in real time. Is that the expected behavior?
