ESS 4 and Adaptec Controller RAID0 issue

[Neil_p]

Hi to all, I have this strange issue with the ESS version 4:
With 3.0 everything works fine, and the performances are great.
With 4.0, tried all trial builds that i could find on the net, installs fine, but at the boot the Adaptec Storage Manager Agent service fails (the error is "ServiceHang" and then a "Appcrash"), the real time protection takes almost a minute to load (with 3.0 in 0 time) and performances are hurted very badly.

I am using an Adaptec 5405 with latest firmware and drivers builds from adaptec website running a RAID0, on a Rampage Formula (intel X48 ) with latest firmware from asus, on Windows Vista Business x64 Sp1.

I am sure it is a software compatibility issue of some sort between the new ESS and my adaptec controller.

With 3.0 it works flawlessly. I was looking for a good AV/FW solution and I like the ESS, and I am very interested in the features of version 4...
Hope this post is useful to Eset.
Bye,
Neil

Hello,

Have you tried excluding the Adaptec Storage Manager Agent service from being scanned? If so, did that make any difference?

Yes, I've tried and it didn't change anything.
It seems to me that it may be the Adaptec driver not liking the Eset software.
I will send them an email to see if they know anything about it.
