GSATA Port - how to get them working?
I've got this Gigabyte Motherboard:
http://www.gigabyte.com/products/produc ... 456#manual
It comes with 4 SATA and 2 GSATA Ports.
I've just added a 5th SATA Device (3TB internal SATA drive), so my only ports left to use are the GSATA one's. I've tried both, but the drive acts like it simply isn't there (ie. no detection of it at all).
I've gone through the BIOS setup and I don't see anything in there that references "GSATA". I've looked through the manual and I don't see what needs to be done either.
I've googled it and nothing I have setup seems incorrect.
Clearly, I must be missing something OR the drive is dead. I'd like to proceed with the assumption that the drive is good (brand new and I can feel it spinning). I've tried a different power connector nonetheless and I will grab a different SATA cable tomorrow from work.
I'm reach out to see if anyone might have any experience with using a GSATA port (for standard SATA drive, not RAID) that may be able to give me some tips.
Thanks!
