Do I want my SATA to be AHCI ? 3 years 22 weeks ago

The motherboard http://www.gigabyte.us/Products/Moth...ProductID=3145

has BIOS that lets you set the function of various SATA controllers to be "Native IDE" "RAID" or "AHCI" (Advanced Hardware Controller Interface).

I'm building a NAS box, and I'm spec'ing it out to have:

14 3.5" drives in RAID 6 1 SSD 1 DVD drive

All of those will be SATA connections. Can I find this kind of SATA support on a motherboard or will I have to buy controller cards?

Need help adding SATA drive 3 years 34 weeks ago

I have a working F-10 box with an older motherboard (pre-sata). The p-ata ports are full (4 drives), so I'm trying to add a sata controller and another drive. The sata controller plugs into the pci bus, but is not detected by the bios (very old). After booting, the OS loads the driver module(s) and detects the new controller and drive.

pcie sata card setup question 3 years 20 weeks ago

Hi all,

I've purchased a SATA card (2 sata, 2 esata, 1 IDE), cause unfortunately I ran out of sata ports on my motherboard. Running lspci I figured that my device was discovered by my system:

02:00.0 SATA controller: JMicron Technologies, Inc. 20360/20363 Serial ATA Controller (rev 03)

I've never owned an external SATA device, so I'm curious whether these devices are hotpluggable in Fedora. Some computer cases and case inserts have an external SATA connector that plugs into the motherbords built-in SATA connectors and extends the connection so it reaches outside the case. But can you plug and unplug SATA devices just as you do USB devices?

Hey,

Ive just purchased a new motherboard (asus p8h77m), i3 CPU and ram. My previous HDD was running Ubuntu 12.04.

I have connected it all up and it seems to work in the sense that I can boot from my usb dvd drive. but when exploring the bios there is no HDD to be seen.

This makes it a little difficult to finish the job.

It is a SATA seagate 7200 500gb.

I have recently purchased a new system. I have 3 problems which all seem to point to some sort of incompatibility between IDE and SATA drives. I'm probably wrong here, but in my mind I'm convinced that they are connected.

I have a Foxconn A88GMV motherboard with an AMD Phenom II X4 965 processor and 4GB memory. The SATA is 1TB and the IDEs are 500 and 300MB.

When I plug an eSATA cable into the external eSATA port that is attached to my motherboard (Fatal1ty Z68 Professional Gen3), the internal SATA drive that my root partition is on is seemingly disconnected (most all programs begin to crash immediately). If I attempt to boot into Ubuntu's recovery mode with the cable plugged in, it fails after trying to find the internal drive by UUID.
