OK so here goes. I haven't had any luck so far. I've tried disabling some things, I've tried changing the settings on some things and my problem isn't solved. Now today I tried to completely uninstall my JMicron driver. I have a couple of questions to ask later on, but correct if I'm wrong about this. On the MIVE there are two different SATA 6.0 Gb/s connectors, one for Intel and one for Marvell. First, why would there even be a JMicron driver included with the MIVE software, hasn't this been replaced with Marvell? I uninstalled this because I am under the impression that this is for a RAID setup (which I do not use) and considering I already have an AHCI driver for the IDE/ATA controller I shouldn't even need JMicron installed at all. I haven't booted the computer enough yet to determine that this was the problem, but I have noticed my hard drive is running much less. It used to run all the time no matter what I was doing. Second, what are the differences in Marvel and Intel connections? Which one should I be using? Currently my HDD is plugged into the Intel connector. Third, why are there three drivers available (JMicron, Marvel and Intel) when there are only two types of connections? It was mentioned earlier in this post to disable Marvell to see if this problem would be solved. What difference would it make if I switched to the Marvell connector, re-enabled Marvell and disable Intel (not even sure that is an option)?
Sorry if this is off-topic but it was my next step along the lines of troubleshooting the original topic. Sorry for all the questions, I hope somebody has the patience to give me a brief answer. I consider myself pretty computer savvy but this is the first time I've really had to deal with HDD's and drivers. Most all of my builds in the past have been plug and play and forget. Thank you in advance!
