February 8, 20197 yr Community Expert Never use the Marvell controller, the first 4 white ports, they are known for constantly dropping disks on those boards.
February 8, 20197 yr Author Okay that’s great to know. Thank you. When I get home later tonight I will remove them from these ports and put them in the other 3 open data ports. I only have 3 more available ports. I hope I can manage because I have 4 un cooperative drives Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
