Asus P6 Sata connection orientation

I've seen it mention that the nVidia GTX 285 card I plan to buy is double wide (which I can see from pictures) and long enough that it extends all the way across most motherboards
The Asus P6 pictures I've found do not show the EDGE of the motherboard when the Sata cables connect... I "sorta think" the Sata connectors are made so the cables go out sideways, instead of straight up where they could hit a long card... but I'm not sure
Before I buy the combination of Asus P6 and nVidia 285... can someone verify that even a very long card is not going to hit Sata cables?

OK... it is hard to tell, from the pictures I've found, just exactly where the video card will cross the motherboard
Now, it's just a matter of waiting until I can actually buy CS5... and then the rest of the hardware to build my computer

K9N2 Diamond SATA Connections

I have a total of 6 SATA connections on this mobo. The two facing and the four to the right. My case is the CM Comos S. One SATA slot is used up by the front panel. I have 2 DVD drives and 2 HDD's. I have the front panel, both dvd's and my main HDD plugged into the four slot area. Looking at the front of the board, SATA6, is the only remaining open slot. SATA5 is blocked by the vid card. I connected cables, but the new drive is not detected. Why? also in BIOS it only mentions SATA's 1,2,3 and 4. Can someone please help?

Ok. Google the raid questions. There are several different types each has it's specific characteristics from raid 0 to jbod. It is way to much information to give via a forum chat. Benefits are data redundancy for some, data access times for others, combinations of those two characteristics with others. Do some research. Your manual will also give you some instruction. If it's a new install take your time, do your research on raid and make the decision for yourself. Further, with the new install you won't have to retro the AHCI to enable the 5 and 6 sata ports.

aren't SATA 5 & 6 specifically for a raid set up?I presume then, that all 6 SATA connections are not the same.
Sorry I missed these questions. No 5 and 6 aren't specifically for a raid setup...I believe sata 1-4 use the nvidia raid controller and support up to 4 devices and the 5 and 6 ports are for silicon image controller and support only 2 devices. Anyway, check your manual or download one. It will tell you.

SATA connection on Qosmio X870 Bt3G23

Hello
I bought last month Qosmio X870 Bt3G23, now I'm planning to add SSD as my primary drive for OS and daily use programs.
I was wondering what kind of SATA connection does my laptop come with, is it SATA II or SATA III
If anyone know what kind of SATA connection does Qosmio X870 Bt3G23 come with, please let me know and I would be very appreciated

I called Toshiba Tech Support with that question and did not get the clear answer I expected. The interface on Qosmio X870-BT3G23 seems to be a SATA-II.
Usually a manufacturer would advertise the best features available if they are being offered in a product. I was disappointed but I might nevertheless order the Qosmio X870-BT3G23. I also wonder if there are yet on the market any laptops with a SATA-III interface.
As for adding an SSD, there should be no problems. SATA-III SSDs are backward compatible with SATA-II interface. I have successfully used an OSZ Vertex 4 and a Crucial m4 on old laptops.

P67A-GD65 new system bios setting recommendations and sata connections

Hey all,
My old dual core HTPC (after many hours of use) finally gave up the ghost and moved on to the great PC grave yard . I have ordered all the new upgrade parts from Newegg and am looking for recommendations on what bios settings and setup procedures I should use on the initial bootup and Windows load. I'm not looking to overclock I just want a fast stable system for video decoding and playback. It's my understanding from the manual that SATA 1-2 are controlled by the Intel P67 chip and 7-8 are controlled by the Marvell chip but I am unsure of SATA 3-6. Can SATA 3-6 do raid 0? I want to use the Crucial SSD as my primary boot drive and the 2 WD drives on raid 0 as my secondary drive. SATA connection advice (which SATA ports) and Raid Bios setting would be helpful. Should I install the raid 0 drives after I have Windows 7 loaded on the SSD? Any other setup advice is appreciated.
Here is my setup.
Windows 7 64bit
Bach HTPC case
Ultra LSP 750Pro PSU
Intel i5-2500 3.3G CPU
MSI P67A-GD65 Motherboard
Sapphire HD5570 1G RT Video Card
Crucial CTFDDAC128MAG-1G1 SSD 6.0Gb/s SATAIII (Primary boot drive)
2 WD3200KS Hard Drives SATA 3.0Gb/s (Raid 0)
Lite-on 12X Blu-Ray Burner SATA
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600

Two questions answered. SATA 3-6 are controlled by the Intel P67 chip and do support Raid 0 but I still wonder if I should wait to install the drives until Windows has finished it's install.
SATAIII controller integrated in Intel® P67 & Marvell SE9128 chipsets
- Up to 6Gb/s transfer speed.
- Supports two SATAIII ports (SATA1~2) by P67 PCH
- Supports two SATAIII ports (SATA7~8) by Marvell SE9128
- SATA1~6 ports support RAID 0/1/5/10 mode by Intel P67 PCH
- SATA7~8 ports support RAID 0/1 mode by Marvell SE9128

Is there an E-SATA connect on my 2.16 Intel Core Duo MacBook Pro?

MacBook Pro 2.16 Intel Core Duo 15"
I've suddenly got to work with an E-SATA setup. I'm using the USB port right now ... but have been told the E-SATA would run smoother, faster. ??? This is to edit a film on the fly. I've been given the data on a naked drive plugged into a black box that gives me either USB or E-SATA.
All ears,
Ben

Any SATA 3.5" drive will connect to you PowerMac G5 or Mac Pro.
SATA 2.5" drives either need a PCI-SATA card or a Firewire SATA case to connect to a PowerMac G5 or Mac Pro.
Mind you a drive formatted on a MacBook Pro will not boot a PowerMac G5, but might boot some Mac Pros if the Mac Pro is able to run the said operating system. See this article on which operating systems each Mac can run:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25517
Usually though, moving drives from one machine to the next simply makes user data transfer quicker, and is not a way to migrate applications or operating systems. This can get real sticky going between PowerPC and Intel Macs as this migration tip explains:

Macbook Pro to Asus monitor best connection?

I have a late 2013 mbp and just bought an Asus VS248H-P monitor to hook up to it. I've heard of different ways to connect them, for example, HDMI to HDMI, HDMI to thunderbolt, and DVI to thunderbolt. I was wondering which would look the best on the monitor. I have HDMI-HDMI right now and it's just ok. I've heard that DVI to thunderbolt is the best but I don't know.
Also, thunderbolt and mini display port is the same, right?

Hello there, ripples in time.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting the issue you're describing:
OS X: When your Mac doesn't sleep or wake
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5357
Particularly of use for you, might be the following section:
Your computer cannot wake from sleep
Make sure your computer isn't powered off by pressing the power key for one second.
If you're using an external display, make sure your display is not powered off or unplugged.
If you are using a Mac notebook:
Make sure the computer's battery is charged. Try connecting the power adapter to the computer, then press the power button for one second to see if the computer powers on.
Make sure the AC power cord is connected securely to the power outlet, and that the outlet it is working correctly. Confirm the power adapter or cable is attached firmly.
If your computer is plugged into a power strip, make sure the power strip is not turned off. Check to make sure other items connected to the power strip are receiving power.
Confirm the right power adapter is connected on Mac notebook computers. If a lower wattage power adapter is used than the one that came with your Mac, it may not provide enough power to charge the battery while the computer is powered on. Make sure there is no debris in the MagSafe port that might prevent charging. When your MagSafe cable is connected properly, you should see a green or orange light on the connector.
If you are using a Mac desktop:
Make sure the AC power cord is connected securely to the computer and outlet.
Make sure the AC power outlet it is connected to is working properly.
If your computer is plugged into a power strip, make sure the power strip is not turned off. Check to make sure other items connected to the power strip are receiving power.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

W520 No sound with ASUS PA248 Monitor connected via Displayport

When I connect my external monitor (ASUS PA248) to my W520, the audio disappears. When I disconnect it, the audio returns. This seems a bizarre link between audio and video, but there it is. Note that the PA248 does NOT have built-in speakers.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yes, that was it. I have a bluetooth adapter connected to my Yamaha 5.1 system, and I stream music to it from my PC. Somehow the default was changed to the bluetooth. I have set it back to the Conexant Audio.
Even so, it is extremely odd that if I disconnected the monitor, the sound returned.

[SOLVED] Booting from Asus U3S6 SATA Controller fails

Since the SATA controllers on my mainboard stopped working yesterday, I bought a Asus U3S6 Controller in the hope to work around the problem in this way. The drive is detected by the BIOS and GRUB is invoked correctly. However, when I try to load the kernel, I get following message:
Waiting 10 seconds for device /dev/sdb3 ...
ERROR: Unable to find root device '/dev/sdb3'.
You are being dropped to a recovery shell
In the recovery shell I cannot find any disk device under /dev/. Is this kind of booting supposed to work? When is the PCI controller actually detected and activated by the kernel?
Any help appreciated!

I solved the problem.
I used used the chroot guide to modify my environment:
I had to add ahci to the list of modules in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and rebuild it with
mkinitcpio -p linux
This will then load the AHCI module at boot time and enable the SATA devices.

PATA SATA connections of hd(s) for least working conflicts

Just setting up my new unit and attempting to avoid conflicts when editing movies, transfering/recording music and my daily "stuff" by not having unneeded programs messing things up. My hope is (but not certain) that upon working in a different area, I can boot to CMOS, change the boot device and thereby eliminate a lot of the stuff that loads that is not needed for work at hand. I have the ability to connect 8 devices (4 PATA & 4 SATA). Here's my plan, what problems or suggestions might anyone give me?
Primary PATA Master = Hot Swap HD, will insert my daily work programs drive and can use for data/backup with other tasks (ext bay)
Pri PATA Sl = not used
Sec PATA MA = DVD Burner (ext bay)
Sec PATA Sl = not used
3rd SATA MA = Hot Swap HD used for data with movie editing, backup and transfer of data (ext bay)
4th SATA MA = Video editing programs drive (int bay)
5th SATA MA = Music transfering and recording programs drive
6th SATA MA = Not sure yet
The 4th ext bay will have the Creative Labs Live IR Box for front connections
Will this work, or should I take a different path of just using the hot swap drives.

There is no support of hotswap for PATA chl's.
I recommend you install OS on Pri Master PATA disk and leave this attached all the time .
Same with optical drive on Sec Master PATA chl .
The swap all you need on the sata ports .
This way you also avoid Harddisk boot order to change each time from removing/adding 1'st IDE master .

13 Inch and 15 Inch Sata Connection downgraded

I was thinking about maybe upgrading my 2.4 SR MBP (with Express card and 3.0 Sata) to one of the new unibody 15 inch models. I went to my local Apple store and checked out every 15 inch they had and all of them have been downgraded to Sata 1.5 connection speed. All of the 13 inch models have also been downgraded. What is going on?? I have already sent Apple feedback but this is just beyond being cheap..... to save a few pennies is going to cost Apple a lot of sales. I, for one, am not buying any of the new MBPs.

I could be dating myself (okay... no "faster is better" jokes on this part)... I think it was in the 486 days (or maybe 386... I forget). PCs used to have a "Turbo" switch. You could run them at full speed ("Turbo") or reduced speed. The idea being that the hardware was speeding up much faster than the software was evolving. The timing on some programs couldn't compensate for the faster CPU. An example might be a game where a character moves across the screen at a given rate... but on the faster machine it would fly across faster than you could even see it... so you would switch the "Turbo" off.

BIOS doesnt recognize SATA connected Hard Drive- need help flashing bios from bootable USB

hi
I have an envy laptop running InsydeH20 bios rev f14.
the bios doesn't recognize the internally connected hdd/ssd.
I have heard that with insyde bios', sometimes you have to unlock 'secret capabilities' to recognize hardware incl internal hdd.
but I am just trying to reflash my bios.
the problem is that I cant get into windows because it doesn't recognize my hard drive and windows doesn't allow insallation to usb connected drives.
I downloaded the patch from hp.com for my product and it actually has an option for making a bootable USB for use on the actual system, and I did this. the instructions are to just restart my computer with the bootable usb. I have tried Legacy support on and off, neither updates bios.
I highly doubt it has anything to do with the physical sata connector.
basically I need to flash my bios from bootable usb. I have done some research about making a bootable dos usb etc etc but I don't know what program to even run and how..
this is a link to my product:

hi

cannot run on my laptop. tried booting from the media. tried allowing 'legacy' compatibility.
im running insydeH2O rev f14 right now.

Use all 6 SATA connections in bootcamp windows XP

hello,
i cant seem to use the 2 non bay sata ports on my mac pro under windows XP, they seem to belong to the same intel chipset, so i doubt its a driver issue
they work fine under os x
anyone know a solution? or a future fix that is on the way?

i added optical drives:
the problem is i added two dvd drives i needed in Windows XP (pioneer dvr-212 and samsung sh-d163a) i could have gotten the ATA versions just as well but i thought why not go for sata the price was almost the same, under os x they work great, but i can use any drive in os x i need those specific drives under XP for some specific dvd mastering needs
so i am kind of hoping i wont have to re-buy the ATA versions to get this working again
