Windows 10: How to install PCIE SATA 3 board

I have had good luck with this Marvel Driven card on Win 7, 8.1, and 10, during BIOS Boot up you can access the card by hitting the M key, I do this and just assign the drives I'm using single drives not RAID. With Window 7 I had to use the F6 install drivers, but for some reason with 8.1 and 10 the driver were just there. I use one of the eSATA ports for daily back up routine the other for Hot Swap drive set up. the two internal ports for DVD drives I use two. No issues for several years now and one MB CPU upgrade.

 

I have pcie 2 x internal sata card with marvell chipset. I cannot find the way to enter it's configuration during the boot. Ctrl M or M don't do anything. And my 2 raid disks recognised as 2 separate disks. Any idea how can I get into marvell configuration screen?

 

You have to wait during the boot cycle you'll see the card come up showing your 2 single drives. On mine I only have like a second or two at most it usually take me a few tries being ready as soon as it comes up.

 

Ok. resolved.

first of all - there is no prompt whatsoever not even for 1 sec let alone 2.

so I have to press Ctrl M in blind mode several times.

second - I had to press Ctrl key and then M and then again Ctrl M, repeating the whole sequence.

Because if I press Ctrl and then repeatedly press M - it wont work for some reason.

this is why I thought Marvell doesn't present during the boot. Just no way to know its there until you dance the magic shaman dance with a small tambourine

 

Yes amazing how fast these boot times are now days, Glad you sorted it out. I've been using mine for about 2 years now still working great.
