Long time ASUS user here with numerous successful and trouble-free custom builds over the years.
I'm alarmed by the number of reports on various forums and online suppliers (Newegg) of ASUS motherboards arriving DOA, even after the first and second RMA replacements!
Has ASUS' quality...
No... I tried that several times, it seemed like the logical solution. Finally, just removing any/all of the RAID jumpers and it works like a charm. No other configuration or software necessary. Apparently after removing the jumpers (default mode has two jumpers), the EZ-RAID1 SATA connector...
Figured it out... simply remove BOTH jumpers from the RAID jumper settings on the motherboard. Connected 4th SATA drive to the EZ-RAID1 port and all is well! 4 SATA drives (non-raid) without using the JMicron... just exactly what I wanted.
I moved the drive into the second EZ-RAID port, and the system freezes in BIOS twice in a row. Moved it back to the original slot... no problem. But of course neither BIOS or Windows recognizes the drive.
FWI... the drive is good (and so is the cable) because I was previously using it on the J-Micron controller. However, using that controller I get audio dropouts when streaming digital audio using the J-Micron. Using utility called the DPC (Deferred Procedure Call) Latency Checker... I determined...
Hello P5W forum!
Can I run a SINGLE SATA drive on the Silicon Image EZ RAID controller?
I've set the motherboard jumper to BIG and the appropriate change in BIOS... but the drive is not recognized by the BIOS or Windows. Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks!
