Hi, i buy a new hackingtosh with maverik last version.
mi motherboard, gigabyte GA-X79S-UP5 have 8 connectors SAS, 6 sata
the sata connector is ok, but i want to put 14 HARD DISK, so, i want to connect in the
SAS connector, is sata same.

when i connect the sata (in the sas connector), in the boot recognize all the disk, so i created the RAID VOLUME with 4 hard disk, here is all OK,

but when the MAVERIK OSx lunch, in the finder didnt appeare the RAID. only my SSD system OSx.

so, i think that i must update the SAS CONTROLLER for the mother, in the web of GIGABYTE said.
Intel SAS RAID Preinstall driver
Note: Press F6 during Windows setup to read from floppy.

for windows not for mac, so, I HAVE NOT A FLOPPY, i copy the drivers in a flash usb, but F6 didnt work in MAC.

didnt reconoze the RAID disks.

and if i didnt do the RAID disk, and connect the disk clean to the connector SAS, the system dosent recognize the disk separately not RAID.

SOMEBODY HELP ME,
sorry my english, im from argentina.
 
Solution
A Windows driver will not work with OS X. You would need an OS X kernel extension (kext) to support the RAID setup. I doubt that one exists.

I'm afraid what iJack says is entirely true.

Gigabyte boards, like most motherboard manufacturers have a nasty habit of only truly supporting Windows, with a majority subset of features being exclusive to Windows.

I doubt Gigabyte's solution is supported in Linux so I'm pretty certain it's not going to be implemented in any Hackintosh build.
