Marvell 91xx config ATA Device dont work properly help
« on: November 02, 2011, 10:31:19 pm »
Hello. I have a motherboard GA-Z68XP-UD5  (rev. 1.0 with windows 7 Ultimate 64bits
All works fine, but I have a bit problem.
1- In the system tray i can see the icon to extact sure with Marvell 91xx ATA Device and no one is connected in the two eSata of the rear pannel. Is it normal?
2- If I connect an external box with two hard drives ( in JBOD mode) in one of this eSata the system dont detect the drives, but if I connect the same box by USB there is no problem.
So, what happens with this eSata ports???? (I install the Marvell Console driver SATA3 versión 1.0.0.1015
Thanks

Hi and welcome.

My first thought would be to check to see if the ESATA is actually enabled in the BIOS. Also is the external box connected to a power source ?

The external box is connected to a power source. YES.
The eSata is enabled in the BIOS :
eSata3controller: ENABLED
eSata3 CTRL mode: AHCI
eSata3 Transaction Mode: Fw Mode

What do you think?
