What is the BIOS on this board ? Apparently UEFI is not compatible with drive formated with MBR.

Gigabyte still uses the Hybrid EFI. It uses the BIOS based on Award microcode, where only the support for hard disk drives with over 3 TB storage capacity is implemented with EFI technologies. It does allow MBR drives.

I have rev 1.1 and am running with WIN8. I just had 2 SATA ports go bad but Gigabyte was excellent doing fix with very quick turnaround.

If you have a PCI-E x16 slot on your mobo, you should be okay. However, I don't think this will fix a hard drive error. Can you describe your problem in a little more detail?

Strange. When it came in, I found the drive as being alone and empty. I partitionned it in three separate parts for work purposes, but it's supposed to be here! You should contact MSI!

Bought mine in October, 2013. It is Rev. 1.0. The bios, drivers and utilities need to be updated from the ones on the disk included with the Rev 1.0 MB. Just go to the ASUS website and compare the dates of the updated stuff with the dates on the disk files. You'll be good to go! Great board imho.

Yes, you can install windows through USB on this motherboard. That's how I installed windows 7. Also yes, the bios is a UEFI. It doesn't have any overclocking options, however.

It's the same connection as a 2tb, it's SATA3, any windows 7 or 8 will compatible, the major spec you have to look is your motherboard, it has to be a uefi compatible board to go beyond the 2tb limit, if it's a recent motherboard it probably is, just check your manufacturer and model to be 100%. Search for: 3tb and uefi motherboards. Hope this helps

It is recommended to download the latest BIOS, and latest Drivers. It works for me, but flash the BIOS !

You can boot into the familiar blue on gray American Megatrends (2011) BIOS (some variation or other of which I've been using for the past 25 years or so lol) by hitting the F2 key when the Vizio graphic displays on power-up (hitting the DEL key gets you to a DOS level boot options screen, where you see a Windows 7 choice, and at which point you can also choose to go into the more traditional F8 boot options if you wish ...like Safe Boot, for example). Interestingly though, in the BIOS boot option section, there's a UEFI boot choice, I'd never noticed before. So, I reset Boot Option 1 to UEFI, restarted ...and all that you could do - still - was go into BIOS, go to the boot option choice screen, or go directly to the Windows start up screen. So. No pretty UEFI to play with. Great question though.

My experience would say yes, what you're asking is certainly possible and that you should also contact Gigabyte and/or provide more info to be sure. In general what you're asking is a common setup. You should check to make sure your mSATA port is SATA 3 also, because I have the feeling it might not be.I'm back because I became curious and did some homework. I foresee no problems and that you'll likely just have to tell it to boot to mSATA in BIOS. It also appears that your mSATA is SATA 2, if that matters to you.

I dont see how the bios is relevant, if it is not posting something is dead. Start with memory, switch slots eventually try stick individually if there is more than one. If u are using a kaveri it should post with no bios update since the chipset is for kaveri, if using richland or trinity also

I had 10 HDDs connected and every time it boots one or two drives were missing, I RMA'd it and tried another one, same exact issue. This board is having serious SATA issues. Got rid of it and went with different board.

Server 2012 /2012R@ drivers are listed at http://www.highpoint-tech.com/USA_new/series_rr600-download.htm I believe I used this on a Server 2012 Storage Server build with no issues. It does NOT work well with some UEFI BIOSes, so that may be an issue for you. The first board I used was a UEFI and I could not select this card as a boot device. Hope this helps, and good luck.

I suggest you contact Crucial. If you were going to use it, I reccomend you to install a fresh build.

I have no experience. There are Windows Vista drivers on Gigabyte's website for this board...so I can only assume...

Thanks - trying to find out before purchasing, but I found some posts on Newegg that indicate they are SATA (maybe they changed from IDE to SATA and this is why it isn't in the specs).

UEFI but I had no issues when I installed Ubuntu Linux. Duel booting might be a problem but I do not intend to use this for anything other than Linux.
