Intalling 3T hard drive in Marvell controller

I have D20 with latest BIOS update.   I want to install 3Tb hard drive to Marvell contrloler(blue connectors) with windows 7 64bit.  I have loaded the Marvel drivers from Leovo. The system does see the drive but it can not be partitioned.  The drive works on in black connectors.  Will Marvell controller see drives bigger than 2.2Tb?

No I believe both the blue (Marvell) and black (Intel AHCI) ports are 3Gb/s in that system.

  • Slow system – problem with OS, software, memory, hard drive?

    I am running a MacBookPro5,3 (Intel Core 2 Duo – 2.8 GHz, Memory = 2 x 4 GB, Hard drive = NVidia 500 GB - 100GB of which is free space), using Mac OS X 10.6.3.
    I was running 10.6.6. Then attempted a software update to 10.6.7 and the system essentially stopped working, Was able to back up data using target disk mode, and then reinstalled 10.6.3 using a purchased snow leopard DVD (had lost the disk that came with the computer). Worked for a while but have been having issues with increasingly long and frequent system slow downs (spinning beach ball). Recently attempted another system update, and the update failed and wasn't able to do anything. Used the 10.6.3 dvd and did a disk utility check – it initially said there was a problem with the hard drive – but on another restart from the DVD this issue disappeared (but still no working OS). Attempted connection of my computer to another laptop using target disk mode – this failed to show the target hard drive and only showed the dvd which was in the computer booted up in target disk mode.
    At this point rebooted using the DVD and was able again to install system 10.6.3. However, there are still occasions of sporadic slow-downs associated with specific applications (spinning beach ball for anywhere from 5 – 120 sec). Ran disk utility from the DVD again – states that the permissions and the hard drive is OK. Also, ran a memory test (using Rember) which stated that everything was fine (although the test took nearly 2 hours to run and was punctuated by much spinning beach ball activity).
    At this stage i am not sure whether I have a problem with memory, the hard drive, the OS or the software. Clearly something is not right – are there any other options to test my system (since I don't have the original dvd – I haven't been able to run a system hardware test) - other third party options?
    Thanks in advance for any advice, and apologies for long post.
    Rob

    Sounds like a failing hard drive or SATA controller. It's not clear whether you have a backup of your data. If not, you should remove the hard drive from the machine and install it an external enclosure or dock, then back it up using another Mac. Then take the unit to an authorized service outlet for testing.

  • Hard Drive Controller Configuration - Asus P9X79 Pro

    I am building a computer for use with CS 6 Premiere Pro.  I purchased an Asus P9X79 Pro motherboard.  I  have bought 4 drives.  I plan to use a 256gb Samsung 830 SSD for the boot drive loaded programs and the operating system; two 500gb Western digital Velociraptor drives in Raid 0 for scratch disk; and a Hitachi 2tb Ultrastar 7K3000 drive for everything else. My question involves my confusion over selection of which controllers to attach the drive to on the Asus motherobard.  The X79 chipset comes with 2 x SATA 6gbs and 4 x SATA 3gbs.  The motherboard also has a Marvell 2 x SATA 6gbs controller.  My initial thought was to hook the 2 WD drives to the 6gbs connector and create the RAID 0.  I would then connect the Samsung SSD and Hitachi 7K3000 to the Intel 3gbs connectors.  Am I doing this properly or should I be using the SSD on the 6gbs connector and the set up the RAID on the 3gbs controller?  I read somewhere that it was not a good idea to use the Marvell controller for the SSD. 

    Thanks for your response Harm.  The Marvel 9128 is described as a hardware raid host controller.  "It features a hardware RAID to offload CPU and AHCI interface for inboard driver support."
    http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/datasheets/Marvell-88SE91XX-Host-Controllers.pdf
    My understanding is that people often buy the Pro motherboard of the Asus P9X79 because of the presence of the additional Marvell hardware RAID controller that is not present in some of the other P9X79 versions.  The Asus Drive Xpert tool appears to be a rebranded version of the Marvell based software suite used to manage the Marvell controller's RAID 0/1.
    I agree with you that the better solution would be a dedicated RAID controller card.  What is the best affordable solution available for a RAID controller card given the limited number of hard drives that I want to populate the RAID 0 with?

  • Hard drive array losing access - suspect controller - zfs

    i am having a problem with one of my arrays, this is a zfs fielsystem.  It consists of a 1x500GB, 2x750GB, and 1x2TB, linear array. the pool is named 'pool'.    I have to mention here, i dont have enough hard drive to have a raidz (raid5) setup yet, so there is no actual redundancy to so the zfs cant auto repair itself from a copy because there is none, therefore all auto repair features can be thrown out the door in this equation meaning i believe its possible that the filesystem can easily be corrupted by the controller in this specific case which i suspect.  Please keep that in mind while reading the following.
    I just upgraded my binaries, therefore i removed zfs-fuse and installed archzfs.  did i remove it completely?  not sure.  i wasnt able to get my array back up and running until i fiddled with  the sata cables, moved around the sata connectors, tinkered with bios drive detect. after i got it running, i copied some files off of it from samba thinking it might not last long.  the copy was succesfull, but problems began surfacing again shortly after.  so now i suspect i have a bad controller on my gigabyte board.  I round recently someone else who had this issue so im thinking its not the hard drive. 
    I did some smartmontools tests last night and found that ll drives are showing good on a short test, they all passed.  today im not having so much luck with getting access.  there is hangs on reboot, and the drive light stays on.  when i try to run zfs and zpool commands its stating the system is hanging.  i have been getting what appears as HD errors as well, ill have to manually type them in here since no copy and paste from the console to the maching im posting from, and the errors arent showing up via ssh or i would copy them from my terminal tha ti currently have open to here.
    ata7: SRST failed (errno=-16)

    and so forth, and when i boot i see this each time which is making me feel that the HD is going bad, however i still want to believe its the controller.
    Note, it seems only those two sectors show up, is it possible that the controller shot out those two sectors with bad data?  {Note, i have had a windows system prior installed on this motherboard and after a few months of running lost a couple raid arrays of data as well.}

    so now i can give you some info from the diagnosis that im doing on it, copied from a shell terminal.  Note the following metadata errors JUST appeared after i was trying to delete some files, copying didnt cause this, so it apears either something is currently degrading, or it just inevitably happened from a bad controller

    [root@falcon dev]# zfs list
    no datasets available
    i remember creating a dataset last year, why is it reporting none, but still working
    is anybody seeing any patterns here?  im prepared to destroy the pool and recreate it just to see if its bad data.But what im thinking to do now is since the problem appears to only be happening on the 2TB drive, either the controller just cant handle it, or the drive is bad.  So, to rule out the controller there might be hope.  I have a scsi card (pci to sata) connected that one of the drives in the array is connected to since i only have 4 sata slots on the mobo, and i keep the 500GB connected to there and have not yet tried the 2tb there yet.  So if i connect this 2TB drive to the scsi i should see the problems disappear, unless the drive got corrupted already. 
    Does any experience in the arch forums know whats going on here?  did i mess up by not completely removing zfs-fuse, is my HD going bad, is my controller bad, or did ZFS just get misconfigured?

    ok, something interesting happened when i connected it (the badly reacting 2TB drive) to the scsi pci card.  first of all no errors on boot.... then take a look at this, some clues to some remanants to the older zfs-fuse setup, and a working pool.

  • Advanced Format Hard Drive not recognized by HP DV6000 Controller

    Hello,
    I have an HP DV 6000 laptop (6276 I think, I'm at work can't check) that came preinstalled with a Western Digital 160gb 1.5gb/s 5400 RPM drive (Vista) that failed a couple of weeks ago.  So i bought a Western Digital 750 GB WD Black SATA III 7200 RPM 16 MB drive to replace it. I read about people having some problems with Advanced Drive Format hard drives not being recognized by their controller, but also read that depending on the controller and specific Dv6000 model laptop they had-one wouldn't run into problems. 
    Well sure enough, when attempting to install Windows 7 I received the error that the hard drive was not detected. After researching online I came across an article on WD's site that noted
    "Our SATA II hard drives use autospeed negotiation. This enables our SATA II drives to automatically detect the motherboard data transfer rate, making it backward compatible with SATA I data transfer rates. However, some older SATA I controllers are unable to support autospeed negotiation and cannot recognize the drive. This “drive not detected” condition occurs when a chipset is incapable of correctly negotiating the data transfer speed with a SATA II hard drive."
    my drive is a SATA ||| but I'm pretty sure it's the same problem.  The site goes on to say a fix would be to  "purchase and install a third party PCI or PCI-Express Second Generation Serial ATA controller card for your Serial ATA hard drive(s)."
    My question(s) are.
    1)Is the problem that I am trying to install a Sata ||| hard drive on a laptop with a controller that will only recognize SATA | hard drive?
    2) Or is the problem that the hard drive is an Advanced Drive Formatted hard drive and I need to buy a hard drive with out that specification?
    3) Or Should I buy a SATA controller card as WD suggests on their website and if so will this definitely allow my laptop's controller to recognize the new hard drive and proceed with the installation?
    4)Or Should I just return the hard drive and buy a SATA | non Advanced Drive Format hard drive? (question 2 basically)
    Thanks for your help!

    Hi @jasmine00 
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums.
    I certainly understand your issue with the drive upgrade. Unfortunately it is a bit of the nature of notebooks, the sacrifice of a large amount of upgradeability, in exchange for compactness and portability. Whenever a new technology comes out, older notebooks are never really going to be easy to upgrade, it at all. Normally the unit as a whole is tested with a set list of hardware, and only those items are supported.
    That being said there is this document that could be helpful with your problem.

  • Troubleshooting failed hard drive / connector / controller

    Hi,
    A couple weeks ago, I thought my Macbook Pro hard drive failed. At start up I received the folder with a question mark. I assumed that the hard drive failed and bought a new internal hard drive. After connecting the new hard drive and formatting it to Mac OS Extended file format (from a separate computer), I only got a gray screen at start up and nothing else. As long as the blank internal hard drive is in the computer I only get the gray screen at startup even if i connect an external hard disk with a working mac os x copy. When i remove the new hard drive and connect a bootable external drive i am able to startup. However, now the computer goes to sleep at the login screen and i am unable to wake it again.
    Also, when i connect the old hard drive. The one i thought had failed to another computer, it works. I guess at this point something has to be wrong with the connector or the hard drive controller.
    I don't have Apple Care anymore. I bought the Macbook Pro in 2nd half of 2009. It is the 13".

    " I only get the gray screen at startup even if i connect an external hard disk with a working mac os x copy. When i remove the new hard drive and connect a bootable external drive i am able to startup."
    So that points to a internal SATA cable issue. A know problem in these MBPs of this age.
    "However, now the computer goes to sleep at the login screen and i am unable to wake it again"
    l was working on a 2010 MBP that did that. Turns out to be the battery even tho' the system report seemed normal. If that's the original battery in there it's beyond it's life expectancy anyway since Li Ions have a limited lifetime.

  • Is it possible to bypass Domain Controller Promotion (dcpromo) Hard Drive Check? My Server has an embedded drive instead of a SATA port. (emmc)

    I have a small computer with just an embedded drive instead of a sata port. It seemed perfect for a small domain controller, since it has 32G's which is more than enough space, and with a gigabit Ethernet, and 1.6Ghz dual core cpu, seemed more than enough
    for what I needed.
    Windows 2012, or Windows Server Technical Preview, both install fine on it, but when I run dcpromo to create the domain It fails on selecting the location for files. The error is that the path is not a hard drive. The machine only has USB ports so I can't
    add a SATA drive just to store these logs/configs, even if I wanted to.  
    The actual computer I was trying to use: http://www.ecs.com.tw/LIVA/
    Thanks for any help.

    On the Windows Server Technical Preview, 
    Install-ADDSForest -SkipPreChecks -DomainName DOMAIN.CONTOSO.COM -DomainMode Win2008 -ForestMode Win2008R2 –DatabasePath "C:\Windows\NTDS" –SYSVOLPath "C:\Windows\NTDS" –LogPath "C:\Windows\NTDS\Logs"
    gives me the error "No NTFS 5 drives exit." (note exit, not exist)
    I'll reinstalling windows 2012 and see if I get a different message there.
    This was just a standard install, so the drive is definitely NTFS.

  • Adding a third hard drive without an extra controller...

    I've got a G4 PowerMac (800MHz single CPU, a QuickSilver I think) for which I'd like to add a third drive without (if possible) adding an extra IDE controller in. Now the only obvious spot is in the floppy tray under the CDRW. Unfortunately the side holes in the tray don't quite line up with the HDD mounting holes, so I thought about drilling through the bottom of the tray to use the bottom holes.
    The IDE cable isn't long enough (and I haven't found any long enough) to connect to the existing expansion spaces for hard drives and then to the CDRW.
    Other than modifying the floppy/tape/zip tray, any suggestions?
    G4 PowerMac   Mac OS X (10.3.2)  

    Whoops. I see is a thread below which answers this topic! Nevermind!

  • Hard drives do not detect after enabling hardware raid controller

    hello every one
    I have 2 hard drive and want to make them RAID 1.after enabling raid controller in bios,when I want to install windows server 2012,it says no hard drive detected.when I load driver of raid,it dont work.i used "list disk" and "diskpart"
    command in command prompt to show my online disk drive,but it does not show any hard drive.I think hard drive are in offline mode.how can I enable them?hard drive are sata 1T.
    atiye moghaddam

    Hi,
    As RAID is enabled on motherboard, the configuration should be finished in BIOS as well. So the RAID1 should be already configged before installing Windows system.
    When boot with an installation CD, you should have an option like "load driver for hard disk" or so. RAID will not be directly recognized so you should use that option to install a driver first.
    If it will not work, contact motherboard manufacturer for more support on this function.

  • Serial ATA Controller Card for bigger hard drives on 8600/300

    Hi again,
    Can a Serial ATA Controller Card work on the PowerMac 8600/300 as well as on the G4 tower?
    How can I tell if the PCI slots are the same?
    Thanks
    web dude

    According to the specs listed for Sonnet's Tempo Serial ATA controller card, it's compatible with the early PCI Macs - like the 8600, as well as newer G3s, G4s, etc. The FirmTek SeriTek 1S2 SATA controller card has gotten favorable feedback in the Forums. The 8600's PCI slots are probably PCI 2.0-compliant, whereas the G4 AGPs probably have PCI 2.1-compliant slots. Even though the FirmTek card specifies PCI 2.2-compliant slots, it's undoubtedly backward-compatible. If you just want to use larger IDE/EIDE drives in your 8600, the (now-discontinued) Acard Ultra ATA-66 PCI controller card is an inexpensive solution at $25. Unlike the Acard Ultra ATA-133 controller card, it has the 128 GB limit, so a 120 GB drive is the optimal choice for it. Newegg has a Seagate 120 GB ATA-100 (8 MB Cache) hard drive for $55. I've got (3) 8600/300s and they were one of Apple's better-designed towers, especially with the large cooling fan in the side panel. I installed a G3/266 MHz processor in one, along with a pair of 4 GB hard drives, an ATI Rage 128 graphics card, and FireWire and USB PCI cards. It runs so well and quietly, that I'm reluctant to part with it - in spite of the fact that I rarely use it anymore. With the hard drive mounting plate on the bottom of the chassis floor, it can accommodate more hard drives than the shortened version of the same mini-tower case, used for the beige G3s.

  • D-Bracket2: Initializing Hard Drive Controller

    Hey guys, maybe you can help me out here?!  My motherboard hangs up with D-Bracket 2 showing (1, 2 - red lights and rest green) Initializing Hard Drive Controller.  I use Wester Digital HDD and also tried other HDD.  However I tried running with just CPU, Video and Memory installed - but same message is displayed.  It seems to me that it's not about HDD but HDD Controller on motherboard itself.  My oppinion is that my motherboard is broken and I should contact MSI for warranty coverage.  Thanks for sharing your knowledge in advance!
    Motherboard: KT3 Ultra2 Series
               HDD: Western Digital 60GB
                PSU: ThermalTake 420 W - Runs fine on other system with even more load
                CPU: AMD Athlon 2200+

    Western Digital uses a jumperless setting when there is only one drive attached to a channel.
    Also, insure the blue end of the cable is inserted into the board, and the black end is attached to the Master drive. The gray connector in the middle is for any slave drives.

  • Replace 1st Gen Apple TV Hard Drive Controller?

    Hi, I am experiencing the following problem...when I reboot my first generation Apple TV that has been upgraded with a 750GB hard drive, I first get a black screen for several minutes, then I get a screen that has an Apple TV icon on it with a question mark above it.  The Apple TV hangs up on this screen and will not go on to anything else.  In my research, I have read that this either means that the hard drive controller has failed or the hard drive itself has failed.  I am hoping that it is a hard drive controller failure.  If this is the case, how do I replace the controller? 
    If someone out there know how to do this, I would appreciate a detailed explanation.  I dont mind getting my hands dirty but please treat me like an idiot and give me step by step instructions (take it from the point that the bottom is off the unit and I am looking at the insides of the Apple TV).  Also, what make and model controller would you replace it with? 
    I thank you ahead of time for your reply.

    You might consider getting an external FireWire drive to store video, then link the video to iTunes on your Mac, where your AppleTV can find it.
    That is my setup, as I have about 700 gigs of video (I don't have cable TV and buy my shows from iTunes). It is a bit of a pain, as after watching the show (I have my 1st generation AppleTV set to store only unwatched shows), I have to copy the video files from my Mac's hard drive to the FireWire drive, then delete the file on my Mac, and relink the video to iTunes from the Firewire drive. But it works.

  • Hard drive controller hang

    I just purchased a kt3 ultra2 and stuck it in my system. Everything went fairly smoothly. I've been using MSI boards for years now. I turned my system on and got no video. So I look around the back and noticed that the diagnostic led's were hanging on initializing the hard drive controller. I turned it off and unplugged all my ide devices from the board, started it back up and got the same thing. Anybody know whats going on?

    well if it matters (you see currently there aren't any drives connected at all and i still have the problem) i have a 40 gig western digital drive on ide channel 1, a cd-burner and a dvd-rom on ide 2, and 2 60 gig ibm deskstars one on each raid channel.

  • Initializing Hard Drive Controller?

    Yesterday, the CPU temp spiked up to 60 so I disconnected everything and cleaned fan, cooler, and took of all  old thermal grease and put new one. It's silver one. Anyway, I left like that for a night and this morning I tried to connect it but didn't work. I tried erasing all Bios and but nope. So I tired four led thing and it says 2 red top, 2 green bottom. The manual says
    Initializing Hard Drive Controller:This will initalize IDE drive and controller. I touched nothing of harddrive or cd-rom, only the fan and cooler. Nothing shows up when I turn it on. Please help~

    ok. I took off cpu and back on again, 2 red on top, 2 green on botton. Same. Took Ram off and on again, same thing. Could it be bios problem? It worked flawlessly until I did what I said .
