All Drives being identified as SCSI instead of SATA

Well guys, why all my drives appear to be identified as SCSI and not SATA drives? Here a pic

I checked in BIOS and sata mode is set to AHCI as it should be. The problem is that no HDD software recognises them as SATA drives and can't get basic information. Any idea on how to fix this?

 

Edit:

All the latest Chipset drivers are installed as well as the latest version of BIOS.

Som’tin ain’ right.  Not sure if it’s the drive or the machine reading it.  In this situation I might pull a windows reinstall and see if it changes anything.  Might be a useless thing to do though. 

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

Only SeaTools finds them but shows me this:

No matter how many times i rescan as it suggests, i can't get health, temp and the other statuses.

 

Edit:

In Disk manager all of them appear and all as healthy.

Edit 2:

I'm using StoreMI to have one of my SSDs as a cache for the 2TB drive. It;s the only one that's not displayed anywhere except for the StoreMi Software.  Is it possible for that somehow to be the reason?

The only thing I can suggest is to check the storage controllers list in device manager to see if windows has screwed up and "updated" the SATA controller driver to a borked version that is identifying itself as a SCSI interface.

 

Also obtain the SATA controller drivers from the motherboard manufacturers website and install it to see if that helps and disable receiving driver updates through windows updates.

Well since it looks like another long detective work, i'll leave it for this weekend to check everything from start - storemi, update rerolls, driver rerolls, system restore and as an endmeasure - fresh install.
