Unraid newbie: asus M5A78L-M LX SATA error.


Recommended Posts

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.
