Areca has released new firmware for the raid controllers in the ARC-11xx, ARC-12xx and ARC-1680 series with 1.47 as the version number. This adds Advanced Power Management support for Hitachi hard drives, among other things, but it should be noted that Seagate, Western Digital, and Samsung hard drives are not supported due to the lack or malfunction of APM.
