Greetings all, I've having some issues. I have a computer I put together a few months ago, things are running fine except anything SATA related. I'm using the ASUS Rampage IV Extreme.
My issue is this:
I have 2 HDDs and 1 SSD (one blu-ray burner) yet my computer can only see 2 hard drives at a time. I think it depends on the SATA port I plug them into (4 6gb, 4 3gb) SATA_6G_1 is always my SSD and that's been ok, unless I move it to another port.
My hard drives are INDENTICAL WD Caviar Blacks (1TB) and I actually would like to raid them but since I use my computer for work I was just going to install them separate and wipe them into a raid when I had time.
Now the wierd part. I can get my other drive to show up (as scsi) when I reboot, go into my bios and reset the bios. However, next time I restart my computer -- the drive disappears.
Here's the WD diagnostic tool running both with all of them appearing and with only 2 appearing... http://i.imgur.com/p83Q6.png http://imgur.com/iKkBt
It seems I might have found a working setup by putting of the WD drives in the far SATA_3g_2 port and putting my blu-ray into the SATA_3g_1 port. But I'm not getting the full 6gb from the drive so it's slow (encoding large 1080p videos).
