The EOL of 3rd party device may not be in the current list, user can refer older version of Promise compatibility list to get those test result. DISCLAIMERS: Only the versions available at time of testing have been verified, as listed. Corner cases may exist depending on user configuration etc. Individual 3rd party units may exhibit problems that did not show up in through the Promise test process. Published performance is not assured with configuration deviations. Some listed devices may go EOL. AVL listing does not imply market availability. Page 1 of 9
Document History Date Release Label Release Version Notes Based on previous SR3.2 Compatibility List and qualified some new devices: (for blue-color highlights) November SR3.4 SATA Hard Drive 8 Q ty 13, 2009 Operating System 10 Q ty Software Initiator 4 Q ty NIC Initiator 4 Q ty August 12, 2010 SR3.4 Based on current SR3.4 Compatibility List and make some change below: Removed Adapter SCSI controller from this list. Due to some corner cases, the arrays are no longer able to be mounted after some state change. i.e., power cycle, degrade, etc. Page 2 of 9
