Are any of the sata ports bootable?

On these controller cards you need to do a fresh install of the operating system to install drivers during the O/S installation process. You cannot bring an existing bootable device and expect to boot off this controller card.

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

Yes it will boot to it. Just remember to set it as your boot drive in bios. You can also select it at boot up. Some motherboards it's the F12 key to choose which drive to boot from.

I am not sure, because I never try it. I think the problem will be in the bios and the SATA cable.

I don't see it listed among the compatible sata's on www.synology.com/en-global/support/hd/model/DS1513+

I have a 1TB drive in it currently hosting my VMware ESXi Server. And it has I believe 3 or 4 sata ports on the mother board if I remember correctly. Because I have an sata dvd drive and two hdds in it currently with one other sata port available if I remember correctly.

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.

Sorry, I never tried booting from it. It may depend on whether or not your BIOS sees it when it boots. I highly doubt you can do anything with this card before the OS loads.

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?

Yes, it is bootable. You need to format it appropriately though. Intel Mac: GUID partition. PPC: HFS+

Hmmm... I had the opposite problem when I put mine together. I found the data port (located in front left quadrant of mb), but discovered I needed to buy a molex to sata power conversion cable. to get power.

Standard SATA connectors, will work with any SATA port. May not be the cheapest drive you can buy for what you're describing, but that's your call.

Yes. The SATA ports are hot pluggable. The eSATA should be too but I haven't tested it.

It has a total of 22 SATA ports on the board, but 8 of them are only active if you add the Asus Pike add on RAID card.

The Ubuntu come perloaded for mine. It can boot both from SD and onboard nand.
