I assembled a new PC with a ASRock Z87 Extreme4 motherboard just because I needed an eSATA port available for my old WD My Book Studio II - it was my boot HD (working fine at the eSATA port on my old motherboard ASUS Rampage II Extreme).
I've supposedly already tried all combinations of settings related to eSATA in the BIOS software and the motherboard was not able to detect that HD. I can use it only connected to the USB port, but I really would like to get its full speed connecting to the eSATA port.
Nothing is connected to the internal SATA connector named SATA3_A0_A1 - I'm only using that one named: SATA3_0_1 and SATA3_2_3.
The only thing I can think is about a note that I found at the manual: "The eSATA connector supports SATA with cables within 1 meters".
My eSATA cable is 1.20m long. So, could this extra small length avoid me to get it working?
Is there anybody who has experienced something like that?
Thanks for any comment.
