DX58S02 motherboard: Problems with SATA Port

[Piv0t]

The motherboard (DX58SO2) has n.6 (black) SATA (3.0 Gb) connectors and n2 (blue) SATA (6.0 Gb) connectors.

I wanted to link:

*on the blue ones: 1 DVD player and n.1 Boot disk (512GB).

*on the black ones: n 6 disks (4TB) in RAID 10 or in RAID5.

The motherboard only allows me a RAID with only 4 disks and never sees the other two.

Where am I wrong ??

Hhmmm, all six black SATA II ports are supported by the chipset, so all should be usable for RAID (I have never heard of any limitation).

Are you running the final BIOS release (SO0920p.BIO) for this board? If not, I suggest you try it (I can provide).

Are you using the RST BIOS OpROM support to create the RAID array? If not, I suggest you try it.

What O/S are you attempting to use this with?

Hello,
I don't think I have the latest BIOS version (could you share the download link for me) ?.
Are you using OpROM BIOS RST support to create RAID array?
I don't know how to activate it. I limited myself to managing the RAID through my old BIOS
What O/S are you attempting to use this with?
I then installed Win2016 Server

I have attached a ZIP file providing the latest (final) BIOS release for the SO2 board.

Let us know how its installation goes...
