Intel 82801EB Serial Ultra ATA Storage controller?

Reworded
Bought a new HD. Seagate 80 Gb SATA.
Installed OK Setup Bios OK
Copied OS to new Drive OK
Selected new drive to boot to OK
Started windows and new hardware found. Not OK
The hardware found was "Intel 82801EB Serial Ultra ATA storage controller".
Driver found in WinNt / inf folder
Comes up with an installation error everytime "Data Invalid".
It seems to running on a std IDE controller, however I get the new hardware message everytime I boot.
Feels like something set in bios is not recognised by OS or driver is corrupt.
Any clues
Thanks in advance
Geoff

Thanks for that
Checked everything as suggested on the doco. I cannot see anything obvious. I would appear that windows see's it as a SERIAL ATA controller. However, I cannot find anything on Intel's site that refers to a "Intel 82801EB Serial Ultra ATA storage controller".
Cheers

Serial ATA to IDE Ultra ATA-100/133 Mini Converter Board~ Is it worth it???

I was considering installing a Serial ATA to IDE Ultra ATA-100/133 Mini Converter Board to run my ultra ATA devices.
Is it worth the trouble or would it bog my system down for a small increase in transfer rate????
Thanks
DD

I've got two IDE hard drives that have the converter board that plugs into SATA on my mobo. I didn't see that much of a performance gain until I went to RAID. I had IDE RAID and it worked alright. When I put the adapters on, the speed increased by at least double. I would say this is due to a more refined RAID controller, though, but it definately wouldn't hurt your performance any.

IDE...ATA...Serial ATA...Ultra ATA.....Mega ATA .... YIKES!!

IDE...ATA... Serial ATA... Ultra ATA..... Mega ATA .... YIKES !!!!
Which one do I need for my Tibook DVI ?
I gotta order something quick to save my (computing) existence and am not seeing consistently the same terminology in ads. Some say one, some say t'other.
For instance, I get that a lot of people are happy with the Toshiba 7K60 unit and on the Tosh. site it says "ATA-6 hard disk drive".
But I can get a great price on the Toshiba 7K100 - which ostensibly would seem to be a beefier choice - and on the same site it says " Supports both Parallel & Serial ATA 1.5Gb/s interfaces"
Is this one and the same thing ?
What do I have to stay away from ?
Many thanks and à bientôt !

As far as I can see the difference between those drives is slim 12.5mm or ultra slim 9.5mm height. (Are you sure there not Hitachi?) I'm 95% sure the TiBooks will take the 12.5mm drives.I recommend looking in Apple System Profile to see exactly what model you currently have installed and then find one with the same dimensions.

Serial ATA vs. Ultra ATA/100

Hi.
My Macbooks HD crashed last weekend (folder with questionmark, etc.) and I went online to find out what the reason is. After reading some discussion boards I decided to order a new one. So I did order a TravelStar 5K160. It arrived yesterday and when I tried to replace it, that the interfaces do not match. Looks like the new harddisk has a Serial ATA interface, where the old one had a Ultra ATA/100 (Check out http://www.tomshardware.com/2005/11/11/fastandfurious/ My new one looks like the one on top, where the old one looks like the one below.)
Is there anything I can do to make the new one working or did I just really order the wrong HD???

Hi Coolcumber and welcome to Discussions,
the MacBooks have always had SATA as the connection interface for the internal HD.
Can it be that the new one is a IDE/PATA and not your old one ?
When the new HD is a SATA the it must fit into the MacBook.
If the new one is a IDE/PATA, then try to send it back and get the one with SATA.

Difference between ULTRA ATA and SERIAL ATA

Hello,
What is the difference between ULTRA ATA and SERIAL ATA ?? Is the connector different for each type ?? Thanks in advance.
Robert Lespérance

Was wondering why you are considering a ATA drive? The iMac G5 als has a serial ata drive already.
If you are considering an external drive, then you have a problem. The most important thing there is that you get a drive with firewire interface because I think they are the fastest, but USB is an ok choice. If there is an external firewire drive that also uses a serial ATA drive inside of it, then that would be an excellent choice for speed. USB or Firewire are standards for connecting a peripherial to you Mac. An external drive will probably have a very common, read Mactor, WD, Seagate, ATA drive in it. The external drive case has a interface inside of it which allows USB or Firewire to speak with the ATA drive, any flavor. Some people just purchase a powered external 3 1/2 case and install the hd they like the best, that is the nice thing about standards.
I think serial ATA will pretty much spell the end of all of the older ATA drives. The serial drives are actually very competitive in price now and faster.
Suggest you go to Western Digital, Maxtor, and/or Seagate's web sites to learn what drives they offer.

Intel 6 series/C200 Storage controller and AHCI

Hi All,
I have a T420s with the Intel 6 series/C200 storage controller and an Intel 160Gb SSD.
Its currently configured to use IDE. I've been reading that switching to AHCI will improve the performance.
What i haven't been able to figure out is, does this storage controller support AHCI?

I could not agree more with you Jaco,
Since it is working very well, I should not make any further change. Thanks for your kind note.
I only wanted to have more supporting comments about the referred issue in order to proceed. Particularly from HP.
Thanks again Jaco....

[ms-1719/gx700] - windows 7 64bit - mass storage controller driver missing

Hi,
I have a question about finding/installing the mass storage controller driver, after a clean install of win7 sp1 64bit (home edition).
I bought a new drive (Seagate ST9500420AS), onto which I installed the OS.
I thought the OS itself was supposed to install this driver?.....I looked at Seagate's site and they say the same thing. For good measure I used the "live update 5" MSI utility to see if they could provide it for my mobo....nothing useful came up there, and also looked at their page for my laptop model (GX700) no such drivers available either....neither for XP/Vista, let alone win7 64bit.
After installing the OS I also went out to Intel's site and downloaded/installed the latest chipset drivers for my mobo/chipset as well.....that didnt fix it.
so question is, where can I find this if none of the above worked??.
here's my detailed specs page:
http://speccy.piriform.com/results/wrsR2VbtVA042hKxLkCy1sR
thanks,
paul

guys,
thanks a lot for the quick replies.
@Stu:
I was actually wondering about those...if those micro reader drivers were what I needed...thanks for confirming and point at the x64 version. I'll put them on pretty soon, see what happens.
@Henry,
no, I wasnt aware about that at all.....but now that you mentioned it, it makes sense, the difference between my old sata1 and the new sata2. I am pretty inexperienced when it comes to messing w/ hardware, so the question is where would I get a jumper block like that?
also if I leave it as I have for the last 2 months since I had the new HD, what could happen w/out our the jumper block?....data loss/corruption, anything like that or worse??.....just wondering if it'd be ok for me to leave it as is, or if there are any issues that can come up, for which it'd be worth for me to get the jumper and install it as you mention.
also if not having this jumper does cause any issues, I was wonder if it could cause certain blank-out crashes that I've been having, which seemed so far to be related to vidcard.....but not sure if this difference between sata1 and sata2 could actually be causing these....here is the thread for that if you have any thoughts...

KT4 Ultra "RAID?" controller

The S-ATA and ATA133 Promise controller on KT4 Ultra
1)Is it a RAID or an ATA (and S-ATA) controller?
2)Does it have RAID 0 performance level with ATA133 HDDs, same as that of the KT3 Ultra 2 RAID Controller, or it is just a RAID for S-ATA HDDs?

Good, that's what I wanted to hear actually. While I never admired the RAID controllers I got comfused when I say the FILE SYSTEM BENCHMARK in Sandra 2003 saying that RAID level 0 is a lot faster than NON-RAID, givving a bandwitch of about 45Mbyte/sec to 8MB cache 80GB HDD in NTFS WINXP, compared to quite less without the use of RAID. In my NTFS WINXP with NO RAID it counted 30MByte/sec on the 80GB 8MB cache WD HDD. The disk transfer rate that I did count in pure format was counted at 45Mbyte/sec

Ultra ATA in IDE 3 spot work?

Hi I want to use the ultra ata in ide 3 but it never recognizes it.....what can I do to make sure it does. I have two drives connected master and slave to the ide.

Hi
Is Bios set up correctly, I think IDE3 is controlled by the Promise controller that runs SER1 &2, it is in Intergrated peripherals- onboard PCI controller - P20378 - set it to Raid or SATA, whichever you use.
What other IDE drives have you on IDE1 and IDE2?
Are the PATA and SATA controllers enabled?
Does the Promise post page show your HDD?
Is there any sign of it in 'MY Computer'- Search - Disk management.?
Cheers

ATA and Ultra ATA

Is there aa difference between the ATA hardrive in the iBook and the Ultra ATA in the PowerBooks? I want to buy a new harddrive, but everywhere I go I only find ATA drives. What is the difference if any?

Don't worry about the terms. You just need any 2.5" ATA drive but not a Serial ATA (SATA) drive (these are for the very latest laptops). A rough history goes something like this:
ATA = 8Mbps?
ATA2 = 16.6Mbps
Ultra ATA/ATA33/Ultra DMA = 33.3Mbps
ATA66/UltraDMA 66 = 66Mbps
ATA100 = 100Mbps
ATA133 = 133Mbps
SATA = 150Mbps
SATA2 =300Mbps
If I've made a mistake I'd be grateful if one corrects me!
If you buy a modern ATA133 device it will be compatible any ATA device (not SATA). It will slow automatically. I think the original iBooks were ATA33 and the Ti Powerbooks ATA100, but I can't find much info about this from Apple.

To expand the ammount of hardrive space my power mac g4 can actually use.
I already had a partition on my hardrive running os x leopard.
when i ran the rig back up i got the missing hardrive icon at boot
any ideas???

Thanks for clarifying.
As much as I enjoy getting Helpfuls or Correct Answers when deservered, I feel really bad getting them when somebody else deserved them, especially so when japamac is involved, he deserves far more rewards than he gets & knows far more than I do.
As I recall this situation, I felt it'd be hours before he was backonline to answer the question & thought I'd try to help out.
I did NOT check out his links nor know what they were about, as I prefer Links that show the actual http path myself.

AMD storage controller problems with a 3tb HDD

I recently bought a Seagate 3tb HDD to use as extended / secondary storage. It seems that AMD has not updated its storage controller to recognize >2tb yet. I cannot find drivers for my chipset anywhere at least. And it seems that noone running an AMD chipset is upgrading HDD's past 2tb? I know Intel came out with an update for their controller that fixed this problem. Is anything available for the AMD controller like this?
Hp Pavilion HPE H8-1214
MS Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1
AMD FX-6100 6 core processor
10 Gigs Ram
Gigabyte 2AC8 Mothermoard
AMD Radeon HD 7700 Series Gfx
1465GB Seagate ST1500DL003-9VT1 SCSI Disk Device (RAID) Primary (HP installed)
2930GB Seagate ST3000DM001-1CH1 SCSI Disk Device (RAID) Secondary (the problem drive)
Gigabyte has no mention of this Motherboard existing on their support site.
AMD has nothing about their Storage Controllers on theirs.
I can see all 3tb in Disk Management, but i cannot partition past 2.2tb. The last 746.52Gb will be unusable.
AMD AHCI compatible RAID Controller driver version is 3.3.1545.14 and Microsoft says that it is the most up-to-date
Any help with this would be great. Thanks!

Hi:
Here is the link to the latest AMD SATA RAID drivers. Second file on the list.
http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/chipset?os=Windows%207%20-%2064
That would be all the help I can offer because I don't know why all 3 TB of the drive can't be seen in one big partiton unless you didn't format it in GPT.
In order for all 3 TB to be seen in one partition, the drive has to be formatted in GPT.
Here is a HP white paper on GPT from a business PC...

Ultra ata not compatable

I have a Seagate ultra ata 750 gigger, but it has the "old style" pin connectors, for power and data, is there any way to use this in G5 Dual 1.8, early model??
It came with a cable which seems to connect to the g5's "newer" data connector, but how the heck do i power it up???

Hi frank jones1;
I understand what you would like to do but there is no simple way to put a parallel ATA into a serial ATA bus. So I have to agreed with Frank's suggestion to put it into an external enclosure.
