Windows 10: 3 different SATA controllers on my m/board. How do I ...

I have an old ASUS P9 motherboard (which I may need to replace soon.) The ASUS manual lists 8 SATA ports. 6 with an Intel controller, and 2 with a Marvell controller which is for data drives only. I think I know my own system, and there are no ports beyond the ones on the motherboard.

In Device Manager, I found 3 different Standard SATA AHCI Controllers. Using the Details tab under Properties, I found the Hardware ID of each. That hardware ID includes the PCI Vendor ID, so I determined that I have controllers by

• Intel
• Marvell
• ASMedia

So what is this ASMedia controller doing?

Is there any way to create a list of controllers and the drives they control?

How to install PCIE SATA 3 board


I just tried your suggestion but I still can't see the device. I've attached screen shots of what I'm seeing in HWiNFO for reference.







I discovered last night that the installer seemed to have an error and was not copying the files from the CD to the place the installer was looking for them at. I copied the files manually and restarted the process. No error, but it still doesn't work or show up in Device Manager.

 

Missing SATA controller?

While in the midst of helping RTW with a problem, I was looking through my device manager, and noticed that I have no SATA controllers listed. There are 3x Primary/Secondary IDE and 3x Standard Dual PCI Controller listed under IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers.

Performance and stability wise, there is no issue. My hard disk is plugged in as usual with the SATA cable, and functions fine.

Yet I remember on an older board, I had SATA controllers, that reported my 1.5gb transfer rate and similar SATA specs.


Are there separate drivers for some modern boards?


I just got really curious when I saw this.

 

Storagespace, want to change SATA Controller for Devices

Hi all,

i've running a parity storage pool of 3 x 4TB Sata HDD's on two different 2 Port SATA Controller.

1. Could i switch thoose drives without loose of data to an other 4 Port SATA Controller?

For example:

1 x 3 x TB HDD on SATA Controller 1 Port 1

1 x 3 x TB HDD on SATA Controller 2 Port 0

1 x 3 x TB HDD on SATA Controller 2 Port 1

Swtiched to...

1 x 3 x TB HDD on SATA Controller 3 Port 0

1 x 3 x TB HDD on SATA Controller 3 Port 1

1 x 3 x TB HDD on SATA Controller 3 Port 2

2. What happens when i switch the assignment between the Controllers and the HDDs?

For example:

1 x 3 x TB HDD on SATA Controller 1 Port 1

1 x 3 x TB HDD on SATA Controller 2 Port 0

1 x 3 x TB HDD on SATA Controller 2 Port 1

Switched to...

1 x 3 x TB HDD on SATA Controller 2 Port 1

1 x 3 x TB HDD on SATA Controller 1 Port 1

1 x 3 x TB HDD on SATA Controller 2 Port 0

Please help me to figure out what happens in the two szenario's. I won't test this on my livesystem and there is no testsystem given.

Many thanks
