Maxtor dm 9 plus sata udma 6

Hi,
any one get the maxtor diamond max 9 plus sata to run in udma6 mode on the promise or intel controller of the 875p board.
Ftool shows the max dma mode as UDMA 6 but the board detects it as UDMA 5 only.
Also benchmarks of the same drive on the asus board are way higher than the 875p the only resaon could be that its running udma-6 on the asus.

Have you tried to download the Firmware for your HDD? Maybe you can refer to this site ==> https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?action=profile;u=77029

  • 845PE Max (6580 v.2.0) and Maxtor DiamondMax 9 Plus - Problem!

    Hi!
    My mobo (845PE Max - MS 6580 v.2.0) detecting my hard disk (Maxtor DiamondMax 9 Plus 80GB ATA133 7200rpm) as the drive working in UltraDMA/2 mode (ATA33). What is wrong? How can I set it to work in mode UltraDMA/5 (ATA100)???
    Please, help me as quick as possible.
    Best regards
    Martin "Kenickie"

    System: MS Windows XP Pro. No Service Pack 1 installed yet.
    But it doesn't matter.
    Disk is recognized as UDMA/2 by BIOS!!! I upgraded BIOS to newest (3.40) but it didn't help.
    This Maxtor is connected as Primary Master, and there is a CD-Recorder (TEAC CD-W516EB) on the same cable as Primary Slave. Teac is also recognized as UDMA/2. At the secondary Controller I have CD-ROM Drive (TEAC x32).

  • MSI Diamond Plus - SATA problem

    Hello,
    I have a MSI Diamond Plus board.  About 3 weeks ago my old OCZ 520ADJ power supply failed.  I RMA'd it and received a 600 ModXtreme back.  After hooking it up I am no longer able to use the four nForce4 SATA ports connected through the nvidia chipset.  I am still able to use the 2 from SIL.  Please any advice would be really helpful!  When I plug any device ( 3 HD's 1 DVD/CD Rom ) into any of the nvidia supplied ports they are not detected by the BIOS.

  • Should I buy Maxtor Shared Storage Plus - 300GB ??

    Would greatly appreciate your advice. I know nothing about network storage. Have just stumbled across it when looking for an external HD 250-300 GB. From the Discussion, it sounds tricky but Maxtor's publicity says it is Mac-friendly. MacMall has them now available.
    Is it really good and Mac-friendly???
    My iMac has lots of HD capacity but the iCube 20 GB HD is packed. I would like to network them and have my assistant work simultaneously with me on the iCube.
    I have a 2Wire DSL router from SBC connected by Ethernet cable to the iCube and by wi-fi to the iMac. Will the Maxtor storage be connected by Ethernet to the router?
    First, the network storage would be my backup. Can I boot from it too?
    I understand both users can share documents. This will allow me to off-load lots of stuff from the iCube. Can both users work simultaneously on a Word or Excel document?
    Can both users share the same e-mail database (Entourage or Mail) simultanelously??
    Is it really better for me than an external HD? I guess, depends on the capability to work simultaneously.
    Thanks for your comments,

    Maxtor's publicity says it is Mac-friendly
    I don't see anything on their site that mentions the word 'Mac', friendly or not.
    That doesn't mean you can't use it - it may well be that it only implemented Windows-based file sharing protocols (e.g. SMB), but the Mac can act as an SMB client just fine, so it may not need specific Mac support.
    Will the Maxtor storage be connected by Ethernet to the router?
    That depends on your router and whether the router has a built-in switch or not.
    Look at the back of the router and count the number of ports it has. If it's more than 2 (and at least one of them is spare) then it has a built-in switch and you should be able to plug the server into it.
    If it doesn't have more than two port, or all its ports are used then you'll need an addition switch to hook everything together.
    Can both users work simultaneously on a Word or Excel document?
    No. Both users can open the document, but neither Word nor Excel support multiple editors/writers. The second user who opens the file will get an error and will not be able to save the document while the first user has it open.
    Additionally, don't think that one user can open the file and type while the other user sees what's being written? It doesn't work that way, either (there are apps that will do this, but neither Excel nor Word do).
    Can both users share the same e-mail database (Entourage or Mail) simultanelously??
    Sure, if you don't mind corrupting your mail database and losing any and all mail in it (seriously: Do not try this).
    I'm not aware of any mail client that supports multiple accesses to the mail database. You might be able to achieve what you want using IMAP (where the mail is stored on a mail server and can be accessed serially by multiple clients), but I don't know your goals here to know if that is sufficient.
    Is it really better for me than an external HD? I guess, depends on the capability to work simultaneously.
    It depends on what you want to do. If your goal is to have the second machine share some of the storage on the first it may be that your best bet is to just fire up file sharing on one machine and do it that way.
    Just bear in mind that few applications support multiple accesses to the same file so no matter what approach you take you will have that limitation.

  • NVidia drivers cause system instability

    Hello,
    I recently purchased an MSI 865 Neo2 FIS2R mother board.  Here is how
    I have it configured:
    o Power Supply - FSP400-60PFN 400W (3.3V/28A, 5V/40A, 12V/15A, 5VSB/2A,
    -5V/0.3A, -12V, 0.8A)
    o Processor - 2.8GHz P4
    o RAM - 2 512MB PC3200 Kingston HyperX CL2
    o RAID 0 - 2 Maxtor DiamondMax 9 Plus SATA drives.
    o Video - Aopen GF3Ti500
    o Primary IDE Master - TDK Indi DVD 440N
    o Secondary IDE Slave - 56X CDROM Drive
    o Floppy Drive
    I installed Windows XP on the RAID without incident.  When I tried to
    install the NVidia display drivers (45.23), the system became
    unstable.  Specifically here is what I noticed:
    o The black Windows start-up screen with the blue progress bar would
    flicker between black & blue around the same spot each time.
    o From the login screen, when I chose my account, it would
    briefly show my desktop and then I would hear the relays in my monitor
    click, the screen go black, a second click and my screen would be fine
    again.
    o If I used the display properties control panel and chose the
    advanced option, again, click, blackness, click, everything's OK.
    o I noticed that when I tried to use Window's Media player to play a
    CD, it would crash during the 2nd song.  It would crash sooner and
    sooner each time I restarted it until it was crashing as soon as I
    started it (assuming I didn't reboot).  After than IE would crash,
    Windows Explorer might crash or the system might spontaneously reboot.
    o After rebooting, the system would be less stable, with IE or Windows
    explorer crashing sooner than before (without even using Media Player).
     This would continue to get worse (across re-boots) until it would
    start crashing while loading Windows XP.
    MAT and DOT are in the default setting and I have not tried adjusting
    any voltages, etc.
    If I booted in safe mode and uninstalled the display driver, everything
    would return to normal and the system would run fine.  I checked the
    IRQs to make sure that wasn't a problem.  I noticed a device from the
    Intel Chipset and the VGA card were both sharing IRQ 16.  I don't know
    much about this (including how to change an IRQ) so I tried disabling
    the Intel device (it dealt with the USB and I have no USB devices
    currently attached).  The system didn't seem to mind having that device
    disabled.  I reinstalled the display drivers, but the system behaved
    exactly the same.
    I also tried stepping down to the 44.03 version of the drivers but
    they actually made the system worse (my screen split in half and
    things turned purple!).
    I also tried swapping between the GF3Ti500 and a GeForce4 MMX 440 The
    only difference is that while starting windows, the monitor would
    briefly go black instead of flickering between black and blue.  Both
    cards run fine in my old machine, an MSI NForce mobo, using the
    45.23 drivers.
    Since the problems usually started when I was using Media Player, I
    tried disabling the sound device.  The system seemed to run fine (with
    the exception of the monitor clicking).  I could play movies with the
    media player, browse with IE, etc. with no crashes.  I couldn't find
    any resources conflicts between the sound and the vga card.
    Windows trouble shooter suggested updating the mobo BIOS.  I was
    previously running 1.3. I tried updating to 1.7.  The reflash seemed
    to go fine.  But when I rebooted, all I got was a black screen (no
    beep).  I looked at the D-Bracket and noticed that it was stuck on the
    RTC test.  I don't think that's the problem.  The next step is
    initialization of the video system.  I tried the emergency recovery
    procedure (with the 1.7 BIOS).  It worked, but still the screen
    remained black, stuck on the same test.
    How do I get (either) video card to work?  And should I just leave the
    system flashed to 1.7, or try to use the emergency recovery program to
    get back to 1.3?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hey Guys.  Thanks for the help.  I don't doubt that the NVidia drivers are fine, they're just part of the puzzle.  Just to be sure, I got a new PSU.  Here are it's specs:
    +5V/40A, +12V/24A, +3.3V/32A, -5V/-0.5A, -12V/1.0A, +5V SB/2A, max load 530W.
    As I mentioned earlier, I had tried updating the BIOS to 1.7, after which it sticks on the RTC test (see my original post for details).  After installing the new PSU, it still stuck on the RTC test.  I tried reflashing to 1.3, but now the memory test is failing.  Does that seem right?  The RTC test is after the memory test, so why should reflashing to 1.3 cause a memory failure?  I'm assuming the reflash didn't work correctly.  If I can get it to work (fingers crossed) I'll let you know what happens.

  • Maxtor SATA and MSI KT6V Problem

    Hey !!!
    I se many people with the simillar problem...
    Our customers are getting wery angry because their computers doesn't work.
    The problem first aquired with the Maxtor 120 and 80gb SATA hdd:s
    We have mounted many computers and about 60% of the computers have the same problem with SATA hdds...
    Allmost every computer also had MSI KT6V or DELTA
    We tried every possible bios uppdate, mobo drivers, SATA drivers etc.
    Does anyone have any explanasion to this problem???
    After many defective Maxtor hdd:s we tried Samsiung 120Gb SATA hdd:s....same problem...
    We have been in contact with MSI. Maxtor and Samsung customer services, but they had no solution
    If someone has any usefull tips You can contact me at [email protected]

    there are 2 threads, that you should take a look

  • Slow SATA Performance Maxtor 6Y120M0

    Hi,
    I just got a new Maxtor 6Y120M0 (SATA 120 GB) drive and for some reason
    the performance is so low actually the same as my old 80 GB ATA 133 drive!
    I copy a 600 MB movie file in 2 Minutes.
    I installed the drivers that comes with the board on a floppy disk when I installed
    windows, and Installed all Nforce drivers.
    What could possibly be wrong?
    Thanks a lot guys!

    Use
    HdTach to get a benchmark of your drives.
    I'm using the same drives as you here are mine:-
    1)1) Os Drive 160Gb Maxtor Maxtor 6Y160MO
    2)Maxtor 6Y120LO 133 120GB  SATA + Abit Serial ATA Adaptor
    The Blue Line shows the Benchmark for the same drive running in it's Usual IDE bus. In Sata a slight performance increase is shown.
    you don't specify the make of Quote
    my old 80 GB ATA 133 drive!
    but there is no reason to see any significant increase in throughput.
    The speed of the drive can also be affected by the level of fragmentation. After a new OS & Program install, it's best to run a defrag.
    Also check that Sata DMA is enabled.

  • Upgrading SATA drives & putting old drives into firewire enclosure

    I just ran out of space on my two 250GB internal drives on my G5. These were the BTO units, Maxtor 6Y250M0 and I understand they have a 8MB buffer and 9.3ms seek time.
    I am planning on purchasing two 500GB drives to replace them. I have a few performance questions and would like to solicit some opinions on some drives.
    First, I understand jumping to 500GB would really slow things down, is this true? What about 750GB?
    Second, what brand/model would be recommended? I store music, videos, and lots of pictures plus I play heavy processor load games.
    Third, SATA 300? My machine is only 150 but I do plan on upgrading one day to a Mac Pro... Will the slowdown be worse than just buying a 150?
    Forth, I am planning on purchasing a firewire enclosure for the two older drives, preferably a dual unit, any recommendations there. (For aesthetic purposes I would like something that looks great). I thought about USB but my machine is only USB 1.0 and I just can't bring myself to that slowdown.
    Any recommendations and responses are greatly appreciated. I used to sell this stuff for years but have been out of the loop for sometime now...

    Thank you japamac, The hatter and tobszanski for your ideas and help. Here is what I ended up doing.
    I purchased the OWC Mercury Elite-AL FireWire 800/400 + USB2 Pro Dual SATA drive enclosure to hold both of the Maxtor drives that came with my machine:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/MEFW924AL2K/
    This enclosure is great, looks like the G5 and has all the connectivity I was looking for. I then purchased two Maxtor MaXLine Pro 500 SATA II drives:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Maxtor/7H500F0/
    I used SuperDuper! to copy on the new 500GB and now I am in business, with plenty of space to spare. SuperDuper is a great app: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/13803
    I was going to use Carbon Copy Cloner but I was reading somewhere that they haven't updated it to run with 10.4 but I am more than satisfied using SuperDuper.

  • ICH5R SATA drivers help!!!

    hi,
    i have only one hard drive connected to my mobo (MSI 875P NEO-FIS2R). it's a SATA hard drive (maxtor diamond 9 plus 80 GB SATA-150), i conneced it to SER1, wich means i use the ICH5R SATA controller, instead of the promise one... . when i was searching to find the drivers for the ICH5R SATA controller, i found out that only the promise controller SATA driver is included with my mobo, it looks like MSI only gives you the driver for the promise ones, they do include one for the ICH5R, but that's the SATA RAID controller, and i only need the SATA controller, because i don't want to put my SATA drive into RAID. Where can i find the drivers for the ICH5R SATA controller ?
    greetz

    Here is what MSI told me to due when I could not get my SATA to run as a serial drive. I still can't because my board is not supported due to the lack of the raid chip on my board.
    George,
    Please be sure to apply the latest Intel INF and Application Accelerator drivers for the board:

    http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=353&MODEL=MS-6533EG
    I've flashed BIOS to current 5.2 10-32-02, but it hasn't
    solved my problem yet.  :(
    TIA

     8) Subject summary.  The 6533 uses the 645 chip, 6533G uses the 650.  Those share drivers (AFAIK).  The 6533E is much different, having a 651 chipset.  I may be off a little on this so correct me, but it looks like:
    650 chipset = 400fsb
    651 = 533fsb
    If you look at the physical chips on the board, and see a 651, you'll also see a 962 media i/o chip.
    650, you'll see 961....
    If you have 650, then go with bios:
    http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/bios/bos/spt_bos_detail.php?UID=45&NAME=MS-6533
    651 users should have:

    and agp update:

    The IDE driver at:  http://download.msi.com.tw/support/dvr_exe/SiSide45.exe broke my 133 and I had to repeat above.  This appears to be for the 650 and NOT 651.
    I flashed, loaded xp generic ide detecting driver, then applied the agp driver, and voila mode 6 rock and roll!

  • Which SATA port on the K8N Neo2 Platinum?

    Hi! I recently got a 160GB Maxtor DiamondMax 9 Plus hard drive, but I have read somewhere (i forgot where I read it) that two S-ATA ports on the K8N Neo2 Platinum will corrupt your hard drive data if you overclock. I dont know if this is still true (I have BIOS ver 1.8) but please could someone tell me which port I should connect my S-ATA drive to? (the only drive I have at the moment is a 160GB IDE drive). I dont want RAID. Thanks!

    Quote from: Supershanks on 14-June-05, 18:46:14
    If u go over 230 sata 1/2 are liable to corruption.
    230GB i assume?

  • New internal SATA Drive can't access internet or e-mail

    I'm re-posting this since it never got resolved, but I've paraphrased to try keep it more concise:
    I recently added an internal 500GB SATA drive (and PCI card) to my G4 (partitioned 100GB for apps and remainder for storage). The old HD is running OS X 10.2.8, and I initialized the new HD with a fresh version of 10.3. I set up my Network settings exactly as they are on the old HD (at least I'm 99% sure), but I'm unable to access the Internet and set up e-mail from the new HD. In fact, the new HD doesn't seem to recognize any of my peripherals (DVD burner, printer, cable modem, etc.).
    At first I got an error claiming an IP address couldn't be found. So I changed the TCP/IP Config from DHCP to manual DHCP just to see if the status changed, which it did: "Built-in Ethernet is currently active and has the IP address [IP]. You are connected to the internet via Built-in Ethernet"; but it still didn't work.
    And when I tried to set up e-mail, I got this error:
    "The POP server “mail.[ISP].net” is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the “Incoming Mail Server” field. If it still doesn’t respond, the server might be temporarily unavailable. If you continue, you may not be able to receive any email."
    FYI - the IP address is in the 192.168.0.0 through 192.168.255.255 range, and both e-mail and internet access work fine on the original (10.2.8) drive.
    I know I'm doing something wrong, but can someone help me figure out what? Should I have installed 10.2.8 on the new HD first, and then upgraded it to 10.3?
    New HD: 500GB Maxtor MaXLine Pro 500 SATA II 3.0 Gb HD (16MB buffer, 7200 RPM)
    New PCI Card: OWC Serial ATA 2-Channel PCI/PCI-X Controller

    Resolved this issue by other means.

  • Single SATA Drive?

    Hi,
    I'm looking to get a new hard drive at present, I have 2 IDE hard disks, but one is IBM, and I think its going to die sometime soon (do NOT buy IBM hard disks - they suck - or at least the one I bought did as well as its replacement, which is dieing now!). Is it easy to just use 1 SATA hard disk? I don't want to use any raid stuff, and don't particularly want raid stuff enabled on my mobo, is this possible? And also use it as the main primary drive? Its just that I know someone that just got a new SATA for his Abit mobo, and he had all sorts of problems, and now its scared me off a bit from SATA drives. Please dispel these fears of mine

    Is it on a floppy disk that came with the mobo, or do i have to download it?
    Is SATA1 and SATA2 reverse for everybody? Thx for the F6 tip, will hopefully remember that when I get around to a fresh format  
    Also any recommendations on the following drives? I have a Maxtor IDE at the moment which I'm happy with so far, not sure if I should go for Maxtor again, but in SATA format, or one of these other three?

    Just use PATA IDE enabled and SATA IDE enabled, the Via drivers, there will be no raid.
    Maxtors are OK SATA drives, had no problems. At F6 load both via drivers,

  • SATA II verses Firewire 800 External Hard Drive

    I want to add a 500MB external disk to a 866MHz G4. I have bought LaCie products before and had no problems so I was looking at their offerings.
    The two main choices I see are:
    A. 500GB Big Disk that supports Firewire 800 + Firewire 800 PCI card.
    Issues
    1. I can connect the disk to my iBook using Firewire 400
    2. If I got a new Mac it will probably come with Firewire 800 so can be used.
    3. Available now.
    B. 500GB Two Big disk (shipping 2/1) that supports SATA II and comes with a SATA II PCI card.
    Issues
    1. Better access speed (looks like 115MB/s v 75-80MB/s)
    2. The SATA II card will not work in a new Mac as it is PCI/PCIX and not PCI Express.
    3. Cannot connect to my iBook.
    3. Shipping 2/1.
    The price difference is only $30 more for the SATA II.
    I am trying to figure out if the improved performance of the SATA II drive will be significant enough to be the deciding factor. Or is the performance difference not going to be that noticeable and the convenience of Firewire would be a better choice.
    Any experiences/thoughts?
    Thanks,
    -Tony
    866 G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

    Thanks for all the info:-)
    Both the LaCie external drives I was looking at are stripped RAIDs with two 250GB drives.
    The Firewire 800 drive also has a Firewire 400 and USB 2.0 port so I am assuming that means I can use a standard Firewire 400 cable.
    The LaCie SATA II card comes with the drive, has multiple ports and does claim to support booting.
    I will check on the deep sleep issue with regards to the LaCie 800 card.
    If I were to get a new Mac I would probably replace the desktop machine. I wondered if Apple would adopt SATA II in place of Firewire 800. I seemed to be getting the impression that Firewire 800 has not been very popular but external SATA drives are getting more popular. Plus SATA II seemes to offer better performance than Firewire 800.
    I was intending to use the drive for video editing DV material using FinalCut Pro so disk performance may be more noticeable. That is why I was looking at striped RAID drives.

Maybe you are looking for
