sata

I just installed Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and my hard drives are running slowly. My hard drives all have a negotiated link speed of 1.5 Gb/s when they are capable of 3 Gb/s. My motherboard is an Asus P8Z77-V Pro, and I've tried connecting all of my drives to both SATA 2 and SATA 3 ports on the...

I'm actually looking to add more drives to my hackintosh. But I'm out of slots. Does anyone know of a SATA card that would be compatible? Or better yet, I'd like to raid 5 my new drives. Does anyone know of a hardware raid card that would work? Thanks!

Hello, I'm thinking of buying a 32GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive and install on it the Mountain Lion flavor. The reason I'm thinking of doing this is because of my HDD's speed (slow enough) but my OS X responds fast (or if you want: 1000% faster than m$ window$). So, what if my usb 3.0 is faster? How...

Hi everyone, I have a gigabyte GA-Z77-DS3H motherboard and it only has 4 SATA ports. I would like to add some more, and I have a Rosewill RC-216 RAID card with 2 internal and 2 external SATA ports. It is recognized by the BIOS along with drives I connect to it, but they don't show up in OSX...

Need some help...I have a GA-Z77-UP5-TH build that runs great. Just picked up a Rocket 640L (not RAID) card to support (3) hot-swap bays and have been trying to get it spun up. Each time I install the card, I get a boot failure...asks for me to select a boot drive and reboot. Everything runs...

Hello, I just recently ordered the Highpoint RocketRAID 2720SGL to go in my new Hackintosh build, but I'm struggling to wrap my head around SAS and how it plays with SATA. What I want ti inevitably do is hook up two SATA III SSDs to the card, but it only has two SAS ports. I keep seeing cables...

Has anyone be able to get chameleon/chimera to boot off this card? It is a Marvell 88SE9130 chipset and is ACHI compliant. It should not require any special drivers. http://www.highpoint-tech.com/USA_new/RH122X_arch.htm My system tries to start booting from it in HyperDuo mode but it...

Hi, I am looking for a compatible internal card reader, but that would connect to my motherboard via a SATA port and not one of the USB port of the motherboard, since they are both taken by the USB port of the front panel of my case (Corsair 600T) Does this kind of internal reader exist indeed...

Okay, so I downloaded and installed unibeast to a usb drive. The ahci equivalent is set in the bios and then I then boot into the drive without any problems and the install screen appears with no problem. However, when I come to select which hardrive to install on, it doesn't show me the...

Hello everyone I have Mountain Lion working wonderfully on my Probook 4530s XU015ut thanks to this great forum. I just bought an OCZ agility 3 SATA III SSD, and that's where I have my ML installation. I read before on these forums that the probook has SATA III support, so that's why I went...

Hoping to contribute as I get tons of info from here. I don't know if it applies to other Z77 series board but at least it worked for me. I have GA-Z77-DS3H and know many of users with this board SATA controller is shown as unknown AHCI controller. I know it is purely cosmetic but I...

I have a Velociraptor 600GB SATA 6 drive. It has been working perfectly in my Hack at SATA 3 speeds for a year. I read on this board that I could get a PCIe card and get SATA 6 speeds. I ordered one from Amazon and had it next day. I did a little testing before I installed the card and my...
