Intel S5000PAL Server Board
Windows 10
Seagate Cheetah 450GB SAS Drive
I'm just getting educated on SAS/SATA/AHCI settings. I originally installed Windows Server 2008 R2 on this SAS and it seemed to work fine. After about a week I was unable to access media over the network. The server had a lot of GUI lag from day 1. I updated all the drivers and firmwares. Same issue. Eventually it wouldn't boot in to Windows.
The SATA disks work fine. I'm not sure if I have the BIOS settings correct. What should be enabled as far as AHCI, SATA, IDE, etc? I have no RAID setup.
I can't format the Cheetah at all. It fails everytime. It can't even chkdsk without formatting. I tried multiple disk scanning programs and it appears to have one bad block.
