Has anyone else experienced issues mounting spare HD's with the maximus IV (z68)?
Here's my current drive config:
Boot - Connected to one of the Intel 6gb/s controllers is a 120gb kingston SSD booting windows 7 x64. (Works Fine)
Data - Connected to the Marvel 6gb/s controller are 2 WD Caviar Black HDs, configured RAID 0 w/ the Marvel util. (Works Fine)
Data2 - Seagate 500GB, I've tried connecting this on the 2nd Intel 6gb/s port and on all 4 of the 3gb/s ports. In each case the HD is not detected in the BIOS or in windows regardless of whether I enabled the hotplug bios setting for the drive socket.
I know the HD itself is good as it can be connected and used with a usb sata bridge. I will also note that the hd was recognized by both the BIOS and OS prior to configuring the Marvel RAID.
I am using the Thermaltake Lvl10GT case which has the 5 hot swappable HD bays. Needless to say, not being able to use all of the bays is a bit irritating.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
System Setup:
Intel Core I7 2600k @ 4.7ghz (O.C.), Asus Maximus IV Extreme-Z68 (BIOS 0403), Corsair Vengance 16GB @ 1600mhz, EVGA GTX 580, Kingston HyperX 120GB SSD, 2x WD Black 1TB 7200 64MB cache, Corsair 850AX PSU, Windows 7 64-bit, Thermaltake L10-GT Case
