ASATA ports or not working.

[KalebPi]

Hello, basically I finally got to getting my Diskdrive to work. Then figured out the real issue. The two ASATA ports that I have are not working. Disk Drive was plugged into one of them and when I swapped SATA cords with the Drisk Drive and one of my SSDs the Disk Drive worked, but and the SSD didn't show up because it was not plugged into the ASATA port.  I do not have an M.2 Drive so they should be working? Let me know if you want any other info. Thank you!

People just don't read manuals anymore.

 

See page 15 : https://download.gigabyte.com/FileList/Manual/mb_manual_ga-ax370-gaming3_e.pdf

 

I'll paste it if you're too lazy:

people just don't read posts anymore -.-

I do not have an M.2 Installed on to my motherboard. I have already looked at that page anyway.

My bad if I just misunderstood something on that page.
Regardless, you're a prick

I've not personally used an X370 based motherboard, but the top two SATA ports you reference (ASATA) are designated as APU connected SATA Express lanes. There should be an option in your BIOS under the Chipset page labeled "APU SATA Port Enable" - ensure that this is set to Enabled. Then, you should see two options immediately below which read "APU SATA Port0" and "APU SATA Port1" - this should display drive information for any connected and detected devices. If you have toggled the APU SATA Port Enable option, you'll need to restart first for the devices to be listed. If you're looking at the PDF manual from Gigabyte's site, the information for this section is on page 31.

 

Double check to ensure that the SATA Mode option is set to AHCI instead of RAID, as well. Some motherboards will limit active ports when a RAID mode is used, and on X370 it looks like RAID is only supported on the four chipset derived ports.

 

Hopefully it turns out to be something simple like a BIOS toggle!

Ill look into that and check back. thanks a bunch! I feel like that is most likely the issue.
