I'm curious as to the function of the white sata ports, since nothing I plug into them is recognized.

I ran into this problem today while trying to install 2 Toshiba 3 TB hard drives.

I have:
1X Sammy 840 SSD plugged into one of the two (Brown)
2X 7200 RPM Cuddas plugged into the (Black)
2X Asus dvd Optical Drive (Black)
1X Asus blu Optical drive (Brown)

So now both Brown ports are full, as well as the 4 black. Only ones left to use are the white ports.

Now I was counting on these two white ports to be used as mass storage devices NOT RAID.

I visited the Asus driver page and installed the white port controller, but these sata ports still are not recognizing my two hard drives. Any help?

Thank you.

I checked to make sure that the controller was enabled in my BIOS, and it is. Also, bios lists all my devices, but when I get into windows, no dice.
