Post by: LeeBos on November 06, 2013, 02:19:19 pm

Does anyone haqve this problem?
If any HDD or ODD is connected to the Marvell GSATA connectors the HDD LED is always on. I have 2 boards bought several months apart that do this.

No, I updated the FIRMWARE of the Marvell 9230 SATA controller. Similar to flashing the BIOS. I did not have to update the driver for the Marvell controller.

Send me a PM with your email. The firmware update is not posted on the web anywhere that I know of.

It requires a DOS bootable USB flash drive to run it from and is similar to flashing the BIOS. Same cautions apply as a failure could brick your mainboard or render the Marvell SATA controller un-workable.
