S.M.A.R.T and SATA?

I have just installed a new SATA HDD on a KT6 Delta-LSR. The drive is identified correctly by the VIA SATA BIOS, however there are no messages that S.M.A.R.T is enabled and working (although it is enabled in the AMI BIOS). I have read in the motherboard manual that the SATA controller has ATA SMART function support, but in the VIA SATA BIOS I can not find anything related (everything seems to be related RAID configuration). Is S.M.A.R.T working or is there anything else i should do?

Really!?!? hmmm.... what does the bootscreen say? If SMART is enabled there should be a short list of alle SMART controlled devices and their status.

  • On my Macbook pro 15 2011, System Profiler is suggesting that it uses SATA III for the hard drive and SATA II for the Optical Drive.  Is that true?

    On my Macbook pro 15, 2011, System Profiler is suggesting that it uses SATA III for the hard drive and SATA II for the Optical Drive.  Is that true?

    That is correct. The tech specs indicate:
    Hard Drive Interface
    6.0 Gbps Serial ATA (SATA)
    Optical Drive Interface
    3.0 or 6.0 Gbps Serial ATA (SATA)

  • IMac G5 (pre-iSight) Hard Drive Removal: ATA and SATA advice please!

    I need to purchase a hard drive enclosure for the hard drive of my old 1st gen iMac. According to this article: http://www.welovemacs.com/ihaimg5whtyo.html - my iMac has an ATA drive, and is the only with that type. So my question is, before buying an enclosure, does it have to be specified for ATA hard drives only? I read some positive reviews about the miniStack v3 (http://www.newertech.com/products/ministackv3.php) and was considering it a good investment, but now I'm not sure if my stone age hard drive will actually run on it. I poked around their web site, but its a bit cluttered and couldn't find an answer, so I figured I'd turn to you guys; the experts!
    Thanks for any help in advance! You guys are great!

    Thanks for the speedy response. I'm looking through the website right now. But basically pretty much any recent enclosure holds both ATA and SATA hard drives? I got a little more information on my hard drive to clarify: Barracuda 7200.7 with 80GB. With that said, I'm probably just going to go ahead and order an enclosure and not worry too much about compatibility; however, I would feel better if someone could tell me if the miniStack v3 (link is above in the original post, says it can hold a max of 1 terabyte) is a definite "yes or no" given what I'm dealing with (and if anyone has had any personal experience with that enclosure, I would be glad to hear any general comments about it as well!) Thanks again

  • Boot problems with IDE HD and SATA HD on K7N2-Delta L

    I'll get right to the point.
    I have an PCI SATA Controller Card in my system (using a K7N2 Delta-L motherboard, BIOS v5.7 with an Athlon XP 2800+ and Corsair ValueSelect 512MB DDR400 RAM on a single stick).  My system works fine in it's original configuration of drives (CD-RW drive only drive on IDE bus, and SATA drive only hard drive).  However, upon installing my IDE hard drive from my old computer, the system will no longer boot right.  I am connecting the other IDE HD as Slave on the CD-RW's bus, as I'm reserving the second bus for bigger and better things such as a DVD burner, and speed isn't too important for this hard drive as it's just my MP3/data I don't need in a hurry drive.
    In the current configuration, all three drives are detected properly (CD-RW and HD detected on the IDE detection screen, and the SATA drive detected on the SATA card's detection screen).  However, after the SATA detection screen, the system just stops.  The cursor is still blinking, but nothing comes up.
    Both hard drives are Western Digitals (IDE is a ATA100 Western Digital 60GB at 5400 RPM, and the SATA is a Western Digital 36.7GB at 10,000 RPM), and the CD-RW is a HP CD-Writer 9100.  I have Windows XP installed on both hard drives (first partition of the IDE, which is divided into two), but considering the system doesn't even attempt to boot I don't think that's an issue.  I've gone through and tried enabling and disabling "Boot Other Device", but still no love.  My boot order is set to Floppy, CD-ROM, and SCSI, which works fine when the SATA drive is in there.
    Any idea what's up?  I can provide more information upon request, as I'm sure there's something I forgot to mention that's important.
    Thanks.

    Take a look at this link, https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threadid=71384, I think you both have the same problem. It seems that a sata drive doesn't like having an ide drive in the system that has an active partition.
    Do like Wonkanoby suggest, reformat the ide hard drive and make sure that it's not set to be the active partition in the system. Boot with a 98 boot floppy if you have to so you can format the ide drive to fat32, once you can boot up using the sata drive you can use xp disk manager to convert the ide drive to ntfs.

  • Possible to mix SAS and SATA in S10?

    The S10 I purchased has the 146GB SAS drive attached to the LSI controller.  I see in the hardware reference manual that there are spare SATA ports on the main board.  Can I mix SAS and SATA drives on this machine if I am *not* using them in a RAID array?  Does the fact that the SAS and SATA are likely to have different rotational speeds mean that I need to be worried about vibration/stability issues?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    SAS and SATA can definitely coexist.   rotational speeds won't matter as the drives are harmonically dampened in their trays.   in fact, i have three 15,000 RPM SAS drives sandwiching two 7200 RPM SAS drives in my D10 and can't feel any vibration in any of them.   i've also hot-plugged SATA hard drives onto the intel controller with no issues.

  • D20 now only available with Windows and SATA...??

    As of this morning, the Lenovo Thinkstation D20 on the US site is only available with Windows and SATA hard drives.  It used to have SAS drives and DOS available.
    They may just be low on inventory, or maybe... ?

    Kind of funny you mention this as a few of my team members and I were digging through the CTO site today.  Considering the crazy number of various parts/options that we have qualified for the S/C/D 20 platforms, there are a ton of omissions on the CTO site.  I know they pull some various options from time to time because of inventory or end of life concerns, but the configs that were showing up today as available really made no sense.  Unfortunately there's not a lot I can do from my side to get this resolved other than raise the complaint.  I'll see what I can do though.

    Back on topic to the OP's questions. Yes, the chipset 'is' capable of M.2 'and' SATA Express for that matter, which even some 8 series chipset mainboards have SATA Express. There are price points and features all within a manufacturer's lineup. It is always recommended to research before purchase of any product for the features you are looking for. The 'beep' question has been covered fairly well.

  • Both SAS and SATA RAID on same controller

    Can I install both SAS and SATA raid on an RD240 with 8708EM2 controller?
    I want to install first volume mirrored 600 GB SAS and second volume mirrored 2 TB SATA drives.

    welcome to the forum!
    both SAS and SATA arrays are supported simultaneously on the PHYs but it's not recommended to mix the two within an array (ie: creating a SAS+SATA disk RAID 1).   per your question you can have a SAS+SAS RAID 1 plus a SATA+SATA RAID 1 concurrently on the LSI 1078 chipset.

  • Re: Sat Pro A10 and Sat A10 - the difference - need new keyboard

    Hey all!
    New ID as i'm rubbish at remembering passwords/log on emails....
    I've got a Satellite Pro A10 that needs a new keyboard - there's loads floating around on ebay for the Satellite A10 - but not the Pro - now i'm almost 100% it'll be the same keyboard - right? the 'Pro' bit just usually denounces extras bits and qhizzy things - but basically they're the same hardware platform underneath - i.e. the same keyboard between the Sat A10 and Sat Pro A10
    Anyone?
    :D thanks in advance for letting me sleep at night!

    I agree with you. There is no much difference and the notebook construction is the same.
    I am 100% sure the keyboard is the same.

  • Serial ATA150 and SATA 3.0Gb/s

    Looking to purchase new internal drive for power mac G5...
    is there a difference between serial ATA150 and SATA 3.0GB/s??
    What is the difference, and will either work or only one kind?

    Either will work. SATA is backwards compatible. Your Mac will run either drive at SATA 150 speeds. Many of the SATA 3.o drives have a 16 MB cache though which will increase performance over an 8 MB model. Watch for the Seagate 7200.9 series drives though. They have SSC enabled and it's not compatible with the onboard SATA controller on Macs. Buy it at macsales.com and they'll turn it off for you. I prefer Seagate, just make sure SSC is off if you buy a 7200.9.

  • M.2 and Sata on pavilion x360 and ram

    Hello !
    I have choice betwen two models of Pavilion x360 13" :
    13-a202nj
    13-a201nj
    The 13-a202nj have a "ssd M.2" and the 13-a201nj have a sata SSHD. 
    I wanted to know if these two models have the same mother board with a slot M.2 and a slot Sata or if they have two diferents boards one only with M.2 slot and one with only sata slot ? 
    I also wanted to know if the memory ram is upgradable from 6 to 8 GB ?
    Thanks !!

    Zynalo wrote:  
    I don't find any explain of the M2 slot in the Service guide : 
    Me too.
    There is one slot for both, sata and M.2, and there is an adaptive flex for each one ? Or there is two different slot and space ? 
    The m2 SSD can go directly only into m2 socket in the board. Likewise SATA SSD can go directly only into SATA port connection.
    Now , there are adapters you would be able to buy to plug m2 SATA SSD into SATA socket.
    To explain myself, do you think that is possible to add a regular sata hard disck in the 13-a201 in addition to the M.2 SSD or to add a M.2 SSD to the 13-a201 in addition of the sata hard disk ? 
    This, I cannot confirm as I have seen feedbacks in here that m2 SSD and SATA drives won't work when put together .
    In fact i don't anderstand if the M.2 SSD take the place of the hard disk or if it's directly conected to the board with a empty hard disck place... (for the 13-a202)
    Regarding the specific two models you're concerned , I cannot confirm as I do not have those models with me. i.e., cannot confirm that m2 SATA SSD & SATA slots are present on the same board at a time as Manual don't illustrate it - only lists them compatible with the board.

  • SATA Drivers and SATA AHCI Drivers for Zen 4.01 ir7 Boot CD

    Our Zenworks Server is Zen 4.01 ir7 and we use Zen 4.01 ir7 Boot CD at our schools to install the Zen Parition which uses Linux Kernel 2.4.31.
    I have no problem finding and compiling drivers for our Zen 4 boot cd and putting the correct information (.o file) in the NET folder under the DRIVERS folder and modify the DRIVER.CONF correctly as well.
    Our only issue is that newer computers are coming out with SATA drives and some of the newer computers are coming out with SATA drives that support AHCI.
    Are there SATA drivers and SATA drivers that support AHCI that we can put into our Zen 4.01 ir7 (Linux Kernel 2.4.31) and if so is there a link you can send me too and basically how do you put these drivers into the Zen 4.01 ir7 bootcd?
    Thanks!

    You may want to see if you can download and use a ZDM7 boot disk.
    I've never tried it, but it may work.

  • SATA and SATA II what is the difference?

    Dear Forum,
    Just a quick question.
    I'm deciding on a new 3.5" Internal Hard Drive for my G5 DP.
    They are listed as SATA and SATA II. Are both specifications compatible?
    Any other prerequisites for the G5 Internal Hard Drive?
    Thanks,

    SATA II is commonly assumed to mean it supports 3Gb (300MB/sec) but is more about specs.
    I don't think anyone would be making SATA 1.0 which came out 7 yrs ago and which the PowerMac G5s up until the dual-core/PCI Express supported.
    Most drives then are SATA II and backward compatible. And now we are seeing drives with SATA III specifications and 6Gbps.
    If you want to know about a drive, visit the vendor and look it up.

  • Shopping for new HD: Difference between SATA and SATA II? / Compatibility?

    I'm looking for a new HD to replace the original, now failing Maxtor drive in my G5 tower (1.8 Ghz dual processor, purchased in Aug. 2004), and have just about settled on the Western Digital Caviar SE16 series. It seems there are two types -- SATA and SATA II -- and I'm not sure about how to make a decision on which particular WD model to buy.
    Will either type work in my machine? Or would the SATA II have potential compatibility problems? I read somewhere in these forums that someone with a G5 had bought an SATA II drive, and it wouldn't run with his system. (He said he had to reset some jumper switches to reduce the transfer rate of the drive [??], but now I'm told elsewhere that SATA drives don't have jumper switches.)
    Kinda confusing trying to choose the right drive, so any help is appreciated.
    Also, am wondering if there are any connectivity parts (power cable, SATA cable, screws, etc.) in particular that wouldn't come supplied with the drive. (I'll be ordering a retail drive, not OEM or refurb, so hoping it might come with everything I need.)
    TIA,
    Steve

    Tom,
    Thanks for the info. I don't see the 250GB w/ 16MB cache drive that I was looking for, but OWC has a very good price on the 500 GB drive. A few questions for clarification:
    - Re: +"The later model SATA II drives often have a jumper to limit transfer rates to 150."+ -- Any tips on finding out if these jumper switches are present in a particular drive? OWC doesn't specify this, and this info seems to be generally hard to find.
    - Re: +"...some are SATA I/II which are designed to work on both types."+ -- Same problem here... I'm not finding any info in the various drives' specs on this. To make this easier on myself, I'd rather get a drive that I don't have to mess with jumper switches, or at least be able to determine if a particular drive will present SATA I / II issues. Any additional info you (or others) can provide may be helpful.
    - Will upgrading to a drive with 16MB cache give me an improvement in performance? And are there any compatibility issues with my particular G5? (I'm assuming a 16MB cache drive will work fine with my machine, and based on my reading they do provide a speed boost.)
    Thanks for any info...

  • Sun Ultra 40 M2 SAS and SATA compatibility

    Is the Sun Ultra 40 M2 SAS backplane compatible with SATA HDD's? Can I mix SAS and SATA hard disks connected to the same backplane, or can I only use SAS HDD's with the SAS backplane?
    Thanks

    Hello All,
    I just wanted to follow up with an update on my progress.
    I put the 2TB drive back in and I did a green field build from media and everything went fine.
    I went into the bios and flushed the device configurations.  Some of the documentation that I was able to find suggest that you need to perform a low level format but I did not have to do that.
    The data channel speed will not go past 1.5GB but the drive that I have is a 6 GB SATA drive.  I only hoped to get 3 GB like the SAS drive.
    The  system with the SATA drive seems to be slower to boot and sluggish. I will try to take some timings and post as I think I want to try to run this machine with mixed disk.  If the SAS drives are going to give me faster boots, I will populate slots 1 and 2 with SAS and the rest with SATA for data.
