Question: I shut down my Windows Server 2012, installed the card, and it will not boot up now. Windows says your PC ran into a problem and has to restart??
Document: Installed it on a Windows Server 2012 R2 system that already had Marvell drivers installed for a Marvell chip on the motherboard.
), fired up the PC and despite having to go into the Device Manager (this is on Windows 7) to manually trigger a driver install, which was better anyway since I had the driver disk included in the packaging, the card was recognized and I had four new SATA ports.Just bear that in mind. I'd expected it to be recognized by Windows on first boot (which I did without plugging in any drives first just to be safe).
Added this to a friend's machine so he could add a 3TB drive. Installed the card into an available 4x PCIe slot, put in the HDD, and connected them using a supplied sata cable before powering on... windows seemed to take longer to boot the first time, but then I realized it had detected the card and was installing the drivers. Afterwards, I was able to go into disk management and format the new drive.
I installed this card into a PCI-E X16 slot on a ASUS Sabertooth X58 motherboard. I plugged a 256 GB Plextor M5Pro Xtreme SSD drive into CN1 (You have to look real hard to determine connector 1, 2, 3, or 4) and a 500 GB Seagate mechanical SATA 6GBs drive into CN2. I am using this card to boot up my machine on the Windows 7 32 operating system from my SSD drive and it functions exactly like I expected it to.
I was booting off of this card into Windows 7, which may have been the problem. All problems ceased once I uninstalled the card. Now I'm returning for a refund.
Bought this to upgrade my sata to SATA-3. Installed card into Windows 8, added drives, configured Bios and started computer up. Blue Screen of Death. Moved drives back to motherboard and booted right up. Windows 8 detected it immediately. Shut down moved drives and restarted again. Blue Screen of death again. Did the HD shuffle one more time into Windows and noticed Windows installed a generic driver. Downloaded and installed the latest driver from the website and that fixed the issue. Been running perfectly ever since.
If you're just looking for JBOD SATA expansion, well this card does just fine. I don't speed test because it's installed on a file storage server with Western Digital Greens so it would be kind of silly (WD Greens sleep when not being used).I bought two of the IO Crest SATA III cards, and would highly recommend them if you need to add more storage. Can't comment on them for a RAID configuration, because for me RAID is a 4-letter word.
I have 2x 8 drive arrays in this server and I trust these with it's valuable information. So far there has been 100% uptime without the slightest hiccup or problem. For the price I don't think they can be beat. I had a couple HighPoint PCI cards, and after one of them died after only a couple years of use I just don't trust them anymore.
Using the onboard SATA 6GBs controller I could not see anywhere near these speeds because the controller had a marvell 9128 chip which really wasn't fully SATA 6 compliant. When I start up programs on the SSD drive using this controller they launch so fast that it is like the first time I installed a SSD drive. The speed simply blew me away.The documentation that came with the card is not adequate and trying to follow it might result in data corruption on your boot drive.
I installed this in a older Dell P490 workstation that only had SATA-2 ports and with AHCI enabled took forever to boot. I also got the &#34;Syba HyperDuo 4 Port PCI-e 2.0 x2 SATA III Card SD-PEX40054&#34; and these two seems to work about the same. I prefer the Syba HyperDuo since the option of using the e-SATA ports make it more useful and it has a connector for the HD activity light.
Answer: I had to return the first card I recieved. The 2nd worked fine. Could be faulty. You're not moving your boot drive are you?
