April 20, 201214 yr Hey. I'm in the process of building my new UNRAID box. This is my first DIY box. I've bought the asus M5A78L-M for my motherboardm because its cheap and has 6XSATA. When i plug 6 drives (3X3TB WD GREEN / 2X1TB Seagate / 1X1TB WD GREEN) the Bios only recognizes the drives connected to SATA3_1 to SATA3_4. The drives connect to SATA3_5 and SATA3_6 (which are located a bit further physicaly on the mobo), are not seen my the bios. This occurs with both IDE/AHCI settings. The only way to BIOS seen all 6 drives, is if i set the SATA controller to RAID. Should that pose a problem with unraid? am i doing something wrong? PS: all the drives, cables are working and there is sufficient wattage also. Thanks.
