Gutted my IBM 1015 is not working on 3TB drives.

Need to repalce it asap...ideas?

Are you sure there isn't just a firmware update needed?
I know this card can also be cross flashed with LSI firmware to unlock various features, this might also be worth looking at before shelling out on a new card.

I use an HP P410 and it recognises my 3TB drives with no problem - Though I believe older firmware versions didn't, it is an easy job to upgrade it.

Get yourself an IBM M5014 or M5015, they are re-branded LSI 9260-8i cards, very quick cards and can be had quite cheap if you look in the right place, you can also flash them to the LSI 9260-8i's as well again if you look in the right places
