Has anyone successfully ran HDDErase on a drive connected to the SATA port of this mainboard? I know HDDErase does not detect drives on some mainboard, for instance, my Asus P8P67. The problem is driving me nuts really

I made good erasing my hdd on this card you have to be careful is in Transmit speed hdd that if the hdd is 6GBs and connect it in a red colored sata port'll have many problems from the hdd detection to data formatting and Transmit

It depends on the sata port you are trying to use with the adapter. Mine did not work with an adapter (I have an old motherboard, apparently the on-board sata ports didn't like being used with an adapter), I got an esata card and it has been working great for nearly 2 years.

I don't know; I haven't tried it. I am using "regular" e-SATA drives which work fine. Suggest contacting the manufacturer directly since they would know.

Don't worry, it works... Back then all the hard drives had the EIDE configuration, it will work... For then, the industry switched to SATA...buy it, it will work as long as your laptop has the same EIDE connection...

i would say this is a really good brand and it works perfectly well however i am not sure if your device is an IDE connection or a SATA......so please check (as this is an IDE).

Supports Sata 3.0, Size of drive supported depends on what your Motherboard supports. I have used a 3TB without any issues. Reminder: This Drive bay cannot be used with Tool-less cases & requires you to use 4 screws to mount into case. Also does not work well with certain VelociRaptor drives such as the WD1000DHTZ.

I personally bought it specifically for usb 3.0 myself, though I really can't see much of a boost, even on hardcore downloads (GB in size). Then again, at some point it probably comes down to SATA write speed and buffer anyway. I did have some problems with powering it off the usb though, so make sure you have a solid motherboard(ports on back) and case (the ports on the front). If you start seeing it lose connection and have to replug it in, stop using that port immediately, because it ended up causing my device to fail. Which brings me to my next point, the warranty service was EXCELLENT. great customer support with amped.

Hi,I do not have idea about that. I need to make a research for that. However I advise you not to buy used, refurbished HDD from amazon. I bought two. one was noisy and mother board did not detect a HDD. another was working but very very slow. so both of them was waste of money for me.

It depends on what types of hard disk you use and what types of mount your board has for hard disk. Usually it will be SATA or IDE something. It has nothing to do with this adapter.

Your answer to both is yes because SATA is Serial ATA drive. Happy hunting.

Dear Erin, all hard drives i've installed, never they asked for drivers. Except when i use RAID systems or SCSI, iSCSI HD in some situations.Even if you're Unix, Linux, Mac OS or NetWare.I hope this has helped you.

I'm running it with a 4 TB drive right now. Works great. I'm running Linux. It all just worked "out of the box" without needing drivers, Disk Manager, patches, or anything like that. You just have to remember to format your drive with "gpt" partition table, because the default ("msdos") partition table maxed out at 2 TB and will no longer work.

Looking up the specs for this workstation on line, it gives the hard drive spec as:Hard Disk Drives*Up to 60GB/ 7,200 RPM or 80GB/ 5,400 RPM, EIDE/ATA-1. There is no mention of SATA, only EIDE and ATA.The spec sheet is dated 2005. This is an old computer. I have a feeling that this is not workable, but I can't prove it.

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.

Thanks for your information. I did also find out that there's a sata port intended for an optical drive. If so, then I can mount the SSD in that bay and still have all 4 bays for data. Now - does anybody know if the BIOS can handle 3TB drives without repartitioning?

I used it with WHS 2011 (now using 2012 Server) successfully by using software driven JBOD, specifically Stablebit. The hard drives on the controller are available just like, and in addition to, those connected to the motherboard SATA connections. I have also used this in a hardware driven RAID 5 array as a separate backup to Highpoint 2720 controller using software JBOD. Too complicated, but it did work.
