Matrix Storage Manager XPS 420
Hello –
One of two drives have failed in XPS 420. Am replacing both with identical to original size 750 GB. However, when new disk is physically added, Matrix Storage Manager option ROM v7.6.1.1001 replies when option 1 “Create volume” is selected: “[Error] Not enough available space to create volume”. This, regardless of physical installation. It appears this version was problematic, but can’t seem to find recommended method or release(s) by which to safely update. In other words, is it safe to move directly to 9.6.0.1014 from v7.x or better in a single move, or step to intermediate releases, and which is release is recommended?
Many thanks, Johnyik

You cant use msm with advanced format drives and you cant have a raid container larger than 2TB. Advance format drives require intel RST 9.6 minimum. Changing requires total reinstall. Nobody is going to guarantee no data loss.

If the operating system does install, do not try to upgrade to Intel® RST version 9.6 without reinstalling your operating system.
The chipset must use one of the following Intel controller hubs:
