Title: SATA 6 being recognized as SCSI controller in Windows 7
Post by: Changeup 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?

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