Which SATA Ports For GA-X58A-UD3R Rev
May 1, 2011
I'm a newbie thru and thru, in need of advice.I have a GA-X58A-UD3R Rev.2 w/i7/12gb RAM and the following drives-120gb Vertex2 SSD (w/Windows 7-64bit)2-600gb DigiRaptors as RAID1 SATA DVD I originally plugged the SSD and DVD into GSATA2 and the RAID1 drives to GSATA3. I had BSOD once a week til I moved the SSD to SATA2 port.Where should I have these drives plugged in for best performance? also, is there any difference between using SATA2 Port 4 and SATA2 Port 0?

I have a Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R mobo with 2 WD 2terabyte bBlack Sata drives and Windows 7. My primary drive is a Corsair 80 gb SSD. My system has been runnig for about a year with no issues until 2 days ago when I tried to boot up and one of my WD drives would not show up in windows (computer). I reformatted the drive (lost all of my data and when I booted up the other WD was showing up in the post but not in Windows (computer). But in Disk Management as Unallocated.
I was using that drive as my storage (set-up programs, pictures, music, documents; you get the drift) and backup drive.
I don't know if my connections are wrong or if my configuation in Bios is incorrect or what. Can anyone point me in the "general" direction or do you know if WD has a service center in the Colorado Springs, CO area.

Very little, all the parts were shipped here about four days ago and I spent a couple of hours putting them together. I ran into a hiccup when Windows 7 Home Premium would not get past the extracting phase of the installation, kicking up the error in this thread. I began the first install on a 20GB partition, when that failed I tried just installing it on a single partition. When that failed I tried removing all the partitions and just installing on the unformatted drive, in it's entirety (seemed weird but others said they had luck with this).Testing Methodology:
At the end of each attempted solution I tried to install Windows again.My keyboard is a USB keyboard. All of my boot testing is done with a bootable USB that I have running MS-DOS 6.22. What I Have Tried:Solution 1: First I went into the bios and changed the SATA controller from AHCI to Raid SATA Result = FAILEDSolution 2: I tried burning OEM Windows disk from Microsoft to an iso at the lowest speed possible for my DVD burner (4x).Result = FAILEDSolution 3: At this point I had created and deleted so many partitions I was concerned it may be having an effect on the install. So I went to Samsung's website and grabbed their HDD utility tool. I figured let's kill two birds with one stone and test the drive while also restoring it to it's original state. So I did a low level format and then ran the HDD diagnostic. All came back with no errors. Result = FAILED
On to memory...Solution 4: I downloaded Microsoft's Memory Diagnostic Tool and let it run overnight. It returned no errors. So I decided to use MemTest86 4.1 and let it run for 10 passes, I did find errors then. As of now I am running each module of memory one by one to determine if it is a problem with them or the sockets on the motherboard. So far I have been unable to reproduce the errors I got when both modules were running together. As a precaution I double checked the motherboards specifications on the socket order for memory, all is to specs. Result = [PENDING]What's Next:After my current memory test ends, I plan on checking my BIOS to see if the correct memory speeds were detected in the auto detection. If at that point I'm still unable to reproduce the memory errors, I'll put both memory modules back into the system and run the testing again to see if I can reproduce the errors I got the first time.

Yesterday I had a PC technician around to see why my PC was not booting-up properly and also to change my SSD to a larger SSD. As I am visually challenged I cannot do hardware upgrades etc, so I got a Techie guy in. We used Zinstall HDD by-the-way and I would highly recommend this application for such a job plus, it is extremely fast.Anyway, while he was diagnosing my boot-up issue he discovered I had a malfunctioning network card; while removing this, he noticed all the SATA settings were set to SATA 2.When he reset these to SATA 3, the PC would not start-up! When he set them again to SATA 2 there was no problem and it worked fine?

A few days ago I installed a USB 3.0 card (to be precise, this one: 2-Port USB 3.0 SuperSpeed PCI-E Controller Card - Free Shipping - DealExtreme). It uses the very common NEC PD720200 USB 3.0 controller. I installed the required drivers for Windows 7, and the card worked fine for the first day or so. but not since. Whenever I plug in a USB 3.0 external hard drive, I get a false "This device can perform faster..." message, as if I had plugged the drive in a USB 2.0 port.
The external drive I am using is a Western Digital MyBook Essential 1130. It is definitely a USB 3.0 drive, and came with the required USB 3.0 cable. While the USB 3.0 card was working, I got full-speed transfers to the limit of the hard drive's ability, about 90-100 MB/s. Now I can only get USB 2.0 speeds (33-34 MB/s). Windows insists I have the drive plugged into a USB 2.0 port even though it is plugged directly into the USB 3.0 card.
Things I tried so far: -rebooting and complete power cycle. No difference. -plugging the drive into one port or the other. Also no difference. -Looked in Device manager.The controller is recognized as a USB 3.0 device is using the proper NEC drivers.
Other info that may be important:
-No overclocking settings in use.
-I made sure the cable was plugged in all the way. It's in as far as it can go, but the ports will still only act like USB 2.0 ports.
I might as well throw the card away if it is only going to act as a USB 2.0 device.

i purchased a Silicon SiI3512 SATA Raid Controller purely to have 2 extra SATA ports which I am using to connect to my case's external drive bays. I have flashed the bios of the controller and updated the driver to put it in "Base" mode so it is not using RAID. I did extensive research on this and it appears that I have this part right. For now, I am trying to connect a WD1600BEVT 2.5" SATA-II hard drive to one of these ports and am having some difficulty. I can see the drive, but when I try to format the drive in Windows, or a command prompt (using the windows recovery DVD) it hangs. I am wondering if this is a compatibility issue with a SATA-II drive on a SATA-I controller, however, most of the forums I have read state that if there is a compatibility issue, the controller won't even recognize the drive. I searched around to see if there was a way to force the HDD to SATA(150), but the jumpers on this drive are for SSC and RPS. Is there a way to fix this or do I need a drive that is capable of forcing SATA-I speeds? Perhaps even a controller capable of at least SATA-II since that is the minimum of all new HDDs?

My MB supports only SATA 2 but in my city, the HDD SATA 3 is more cheap than SATA 2. If I buy the HDD SATA 3 it will work with my MB SATA 2 controller?

i'm looking to upgrade from a HDD to SSD. I've been reading online about my board and apparently the marvell 9128 controller sucks speed wise. I was looking at the Corsair Force 3 because of the read/write speeds. Upon doing more digging though it looks like id be better off running a drive on the SATA 2 ports.

I recently bought a USB to RS232 adapter (it works fine). My question is: How can find out which com port it is using, except by trying all of them and then finding the one that works. I have a older Thunderbird GPS 10 MHz frequency standard thet requires a RS232 interface to talk to it (for setup purposes). The first thing it askes me is which com port I'm using(1-16).

My USB ports on this Gigabyte mobo are SUPPOSED to be all USB2.0
So, how come I still get "This device can run faster" messages in
my Windows 7 64 bit home premium installation?? I went to Gigabytes webpage and installed the chipset drivers for Windows 7 on there, but still get the same message when I plug in my Corsair 4GB jumpdrive.

First a little background:
System - Dell Inspiron 546, Windows 7 Home Premium x86 64 bit.
I'm an Engineer/Designer/Machinist and work with CAD/CAM programming. After I create the programs with the toolpaths for my CNC Macining Center I use a separate program to transfer the machine control data to the CNC.
Here is my dilemma - Win 7 is not compatable with the old 16 or 32 bit, file transfer program I had been using with XP and Vista. I have found 64 bit programs that are compatible but cannot get the computer and CNC to communicate.
The problem I'm having is, in the file transfer software I need to set the Parameters such a Comm Port, Baud Rate, etc. I cannot determine the port assignment for the usb connections. In XP and Vista they were Comm 4 and I could find that in Device Manager/Ports. Win 7 doesn't seem to have a listing for ports. How do I determine this.

So I installed some weird file and it like disabled ALL of my USB ports, hwo can I get them to work again?! Both my keyboard and mouse are USB and I don't have any regular ones, any way I can fix this through my 2nd partition using WinXP? im using the Win XP partition to ask this right now, my Win7 partition seems to run fine like when it happened I thought it froze but it didn't because the wifi signal went off from my USB wireless adapter and my mouse+keyboard adapter both light off as well as my DVC 80 capture device. The file I ran was 'libusb-win32-filter-bin-0.1.12.2.exe' from a package I downloaded in a zip called 'iHackintosh iRecovery Package for Windows & Mac' and I REALLY DONT want to restart my computer

I restarted my computer to return to the login screen and found i have no control of my mouse or keyboard.I have control before Windows loads (in Bios Settings).I have enabled and disabled in every combination possible for the settings of the USB in Bios Settings.I can not system restore. I have no control in safe mode.Basically if it deals with windows, i have no control. Only before windows loads.

I noticed recently that for some reason,my USB ports aren't being identified as 2.0 ports, but I know they are. My computer is an ASUS CG5270, Specs: Core 2 Quad @ 2.4 GHZ,8 gigs ram, 750GB hard drive. I tried going into the device manager and uninstalling everything under "USB", and then restarting and replugging everything in..no luck. I found some Fix for Windows 7 SP1...no luck. Whenever I go into the Device Manager, there are two ports ( I think they're ports) listed as "Enhanced", with the rest as "Universal". I keep getting errors when I plug in my external HD that "this device could perform faster". (I also get another message telling me that the drive needs to be formatted, but it works anyway). I also get a "this device could perform faster" with my webcam, as well...

first of all i would like to excuse for my rusty english... passed some time since i last wrote something completely in english ;-)
i'm using the x86 version of build 7000 and i'm very fascinated of how it works already in this beta-stage. but i have a strange crashing-issue from time to time that does not allow me further testing.
from time to time all of my usb-ports seem to block everything: my usb-soundcard stops working, my wireless-adapter, my external hd, everything that's plugged-in into an usb-port stops working.
it happens when i'm using my soundcard, videocard or both of them: playing games, watching dvds, browsing Internet, listening to music, etc.
when i'm trying to reboot, the os will stuck in the logging-off-screen 'cause it's trying to play the logoff-sound over my soundcard..

On my Dell Vostro laptop, Up until today I never had a problem but now when I plug in my energy monitor to a USB port I do.. I have a mouse plugged in one port. If I plug in my energy monitor into any of the other 3 USB ports it installs a USB to serial port at the next higher com number. Its up to com 18 now. If I unplug and replug it in again it will find USB to serial com 19. It just keeps going up. How can I reset it back to 3 or 4.

I am not going to tell my problem or trouble but rather to tell what I had done based on what I found out from other responses to "related issues" subjected above.I just thought that I must do this for the sake of others, brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ wanted to go back to the threads that his but I am not that fond of using the search fields and somehow my google search results on this lappy is quite differ from the one i got on the usb-troubled lappy that i used to log into sevenforums. i have read through just about 10 of the related result on sevenforums but not one of them is the one i found out earlier.anyways, what i did was: uninstalled all usb listings in device manager and then just shut down the lappy, unplug all cables including power cable and went out for a smoke. a few minutes later, came back and plugged the power cord and turned on the lappy. and somehow, windows auto-install everything and since the lappy is wirelessly connected to the internet like always, it also download and install everything.then i plug the main cause of the problem (microsoft 5-button intelligent mouse) and wait for the driver update wizard to complete; and now everything not only seems working fine, BUT actually working fine now.

I just installed Windows 7 tonight and thus have moved from the Vista forums to here
But of course if everything were going smoothly I wouldn't be here. Now here's my problem, I'm trying to open ports for some of my programs but I havn't been able to. I've done it many times before in Vista with no trouble. I've tried disabling the firewall to see if that worked but it didn't.
Now here's where it gets weird. When I was in Vista I'd use Open Port Check Tool to check if my ports were opened correctly, it always worked. But now when I try it it tells me that my ports are closed, even basic ports like 80 and 21 keep getting:
Error: I could not see your service on 76.68.106.153 on port (80)
Reason: Connection timed out

Im using windows 7 RTM x86
I want to close some opened ports.These ports are 135 and 445.
So, I try to close/block these ports using Windows Firewall. ( with advanced settings )
I created inbound rule for closing port 135(TCP) (as you can see attached screenshot )
Also I applied same step for UDP.
but, when I scan my pc's opened ports using Net Tools 5 program ( open port scanner tool ) , it found port 135 as open.
I created rule and blocked/closed port 135 but Net Tools says : Port 135 still open.
This is risky for me.
How can I close this port correctly ?
Note : Im using MSE for Antivirus security.
