Clover and PCIe SATA3 expansion cards

[kissandtellMAC74]

I assure you two cards are plugged in, maybe the problem is just that: clover cannot even detect one of the two? (brands/model are different anyway)

 

[kissandtellMAC74]

yes

Only one SATA card is present according to the log. Is the second card working in windows or is it at least shown in windows device manager?

yes, both work in windows and with Chameleon too

take a look at this one

Same volumes detected in the latest log. You could try updating Clover to latest version it is possible there is/was an issue that has/hasn't been fixed. If that doesn't work i suggest connecting the drive that isn't being scanned to a free motherboard SATA port if possible, or continue using Chameleon if that is working for you.

I'll try updating Clover, but that's the point: either I have to get just SATA II speed, or no working Nvidia web drivers with Chameleon but SATA III working...

tried this too, I can't get to Clover menu, just a black screen with a non-blinking white cursor up on the left.

Maybe a replacement asmedia card from fleabay is the answer...

I fear you are right, but it's very strange that the more advanced Clover can't what Chameleon already does since some years....
Anyway, are you sure those asmedia based cards would be compatible? And which ones for example, could you please link some?

Your card in slot 3 - PCI (00|03:00.00) : 1B21 0612 class=010601 is asmedia 106x chipset, the card below will connect 2 drives, there are jumpers behind the internal ports to choose either internal/SATA3 or external/eSATA for each channel
