SATA 6 being recognized as SCSI controller in Windows 7
« on: November 26, 2011, 03:39:21 PM »
Any ideas why my SATA6 HDD is being recognized as a SCSI device?  If memory serves me, I would rather it be SATA6 right?

is your SATA controller actually a SAS controller which uses SATA connectors and drives maybe?

I believe this is because the controller is Marvell (or JMicron eSATA or similar) external to the MB chipset. Its just how Windows deals with that device controllers BIOS.

I cant be sure of course. I think if you disable it you will likely lose access to your drive.

Neither of those are in the device manager...I didn't set up a RAID drive.  The only item in there is IDE controllers
