Windows 10: I / O device error HDD

Good evening,

This is my system:
i7 2600k
1050Ti
Samsung EVO 256GB
Fatal1ty P67 Performance (Bios 1.3)
BeQuiet E8 680W
16GB Ram
W10 64

I bought a WD Red 8.0 TB (WD80EFAX). It shows up in the Bios with the correct size when i plug the hdd on any SATA Port on the mainboard. So far so good. When i enter windows to initialise the hdd (GPT/MBR) i receive an I / Odevice error (in german it shows E/A Gerätefehler).First of all i thought the hdd is damaged and ordered a new one from a different brand. But i got the same error.Then i decided to order a PCIe Card with Marvell 88SE9215 Controller. I picked a driver what i found in this board and plugged the HDD to the PCIe Card. After then i tried to initialise the hdd and it worked like a charm.

I also tried to find help in a german computer board but didnt find the answers i was looking for. I also contacted the ASRock Support. They send me a new Bios Version 2.25b and said "Try this." I havent tried it yet because with the PCIe card my "problem" is solved and also with a new Bios version maybe new problems could araise. The ASRock support also did not give me any changelog information.

My question is why can my mainboard not handle 8 TB hdds? Ive already a 4 TB in the system for a very long time and never had any problems.

This is how my device manager looks like:

I/O Device Error

First off: Can you see this diskdrive in EXPLORER.EXE?

Secondly: Does this device say it is 'working properly', in the HDD sections of devmgmt.msc (run it from Start -> Run, & see)...

*Smile

* Thanks, because it matters to an extent, on those parts... imo @ least!
