Title: Gigabyte GA-H61TN / GA-H77TN don´t support Plextor M5M
Post by: Guiekalle on November 18, 2013, 07:35:37 pm: Hello Community,

I'm having an odd problem with my Gigabyte GA-H61TN mainboard.

When the CPU and RAM is installed, I can power on and get a video signal via HDMI.

However, when I install a Plextor M5M mSATA SSD and power on - nothing - no video signal (black screen while starting).

Installing in BIOS while running, the Plextor M5M is not detected in BIOS. Slot of msata shows always empty... >:(

The whole GIGABYTE TN Series (H61, H77, B75 etc.) have this problem.

Like voices from here:

Help for me ??? Can I expect a solution ???

I don´t want to give it back to online shop.

Thanks. Much regards... :)

I have a GA-h77TN with a msata Kingstone ssd and i'm having the same issues as you.
Black screen when the msata ssd is plug in.
with a regular ssd no issues.

I hope someone can solve this.
thanks.

I have the same problem with GA-B75TN and Kingston SMS200S3/60G. Nobody has solution so far, so i must return it.
I made contact to Gigabyte technical support but they didn't respond, i'm waiting 2 days and counting...

Post by: reix on March 13, 2014, 08:06:20 am: I also had issue with H77TN and Crucial M4 120GB mSATA drive. In my case when mSATA was inplace it messed up readings such as temperatures, they always showed 255 C in bios and it lost fan speed control, it was on full speed.
Otherwise the OS booted and HDMI/other ports worked.

Gigabyte was not much help, only sent me a short list of supported mSata drives, largest drive was 64GB i think.

The same mSATA works fine in another full size Gigabyte board.
