GA-X58A-UD3R REV2 and Marvell SATA 3 bios settings?

[Dark Mantis]

To be fair, runn3R is caught in the middle. Although he sees all the comments on here he can only relay them to his superiors and if they don't want to do anything about it he just has to keep quiet. Not altogether an easy place to be.

That's true. It's nothing runn3R can do because he's not the boss of Gigabyte. But what other options that we customers have? Just consider ourselves bad luck to pay extra bucks to buy something which works worse than what it's advertised? At least Gigabyte GEO should act like the Apple CEO and come out to speak loudly: "Our Marvell SATA3 works perfectly. It's not our problem..."  I wonder if UD9 has solved this SATA3 problem.

  I wonder if UD9 has solved this SATA3 problem.

I wouldn't think so because the Marvell 9128 chip and layout is the same and I think that if they had found a solution to the problem they would have been shouting about it already.

That's is very true...

sorry

but i have hacked a ASROCK 88SE9123 little pci-e card with HIGHPOINT firmware and i can mount RAID , 0 , 1 , 5 , 10 at start up

exactly as the Rocket Raid RR622

after with WINXP card is know as RR622 no problem

problem is ASROCK card cannot find disks / RAID with WIN XP

but if i connect RAID disks to a RR622 i find  that RAID is mounted correctly by ASROCK hacked firmware

possible that my hack is not exactly compatible wit RR622 original card firmware

i have used a modified autoload ( no exactly the same as RR622 ) with same bios as RR622

i search always a solution but without 88SE91xx documentation that is hard !!

next week i received this little adapter SOCI8 to DIP8 for test with IOISATA SATA3 card S3-PCIE1XG201

exactly same firmware , autoload as my GigaByte X58A-UD5 motherboard
