February 18, 201016 yr Hi guys, I recently builded a 2nd unraid server using a Asus M3A76-CM motherboard and a AMD Sempron 140 cpu. Parity checking is superfast compared to my other server (75mb/sec) using the 6 onboard sata ports. Today I added a new green drive to sata port 5 on my mobo but it seems to be detected as and IDE drive. As of now unraid is clearing the drive but it seems to be much slower as i'm used to the other drives. Here are my drives: parity device: pci-0000:00:11.0-scsi-0:0:0:0 host0 (sda) WDC_WD15EADS-00R6B0_WD-WCAUP0004951 disk1 device: pci-0000:00:11.0-scsi-1:0:0:0 host1 (sdb) WDC_WD10EAVS-32D7B1_WD-WCAU46883755 disk2 device: pci-0000:00:11.0-scsi-2:0:0:0 host2 (sdc) WDC_WD10EAVS-00D7B1_WD-WCAU46640817 disk3 device: pci-0000:00:11.0-scsi-3:0:0:0 host3 (sdd) WDC_WD10EAVS-00D7B1_WD-WCAU46679795 disk4 device: pci-0000:00:14.1-ide-1:0 ide1 (hdc) WDC_WD10EADS-00L5B1_WD-WCAU48176712 Anyone know what could have caused the ide mode?

Easy... you've set it to emulate an IDE drive in your BIOS. See this post for someone else whose MB was also set to IDE mode: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=5229.msg48823#msg48823 If you have more than one SATA chipset on your MB, the AHCI option might need to be set for each separately.
February 18, 201016 yr Author I found what caused this: My sata ports were default at SATA mode, when I changed them to AHCI mode unraid sees it as a sata drive (odd thing about this board is that the bios only recognises drives on port 1-4 in AHCI mode, but unraid sees the other drives as well) parity device: pci-0000:00:11.0-scsi-0:0:0:0 host0 (sda) WDC_WD15EADS-00R6B0_WD-WCAUP0004951 disk1 device: pci-0000:00:11.0-scsi-1:0:0:0 host1 (sdb) WDC_WD10EAVS-32D7B1_WD-WCAU46883755 disk2 device: pci-0000:00:11.0-scsi-2:0:0:0 host2 (sdc) WDC_WD10EAVS-00D7B1_WD-WCAU46640817 disk3 device: pci-0000:00:11.0-scsi-3:0:0:0 host3 (sdd) WDC_WD10EAVS-00D7B1_WD-WCAU46679795 disk4 device: pci-0000:00:11.0-scsi-4:0:0:0 host4 (sde) WDC_WD10EADS-00L5B1_WD-WCAU48176712 I can recommend this board and CPU! it's really fast in parity checking and writing.
