Z87X-UD3H eSata Issues

Re: Z87X-UD3H eSata Issues

Glad to hear that you're making progress.
It looks like I was wrong about IRST not affecting the GSata3/eSata performance, at least with the 12.7.1.1000 version.
I think I've seen in other threads where the 12.6.x versions might be better in some cases.

Thanks profJim. Yeah, I really didn't think it would be a cause. I believe I already tried the previous version 12.6.x when I reverted after noticing the problem with 12.7.1.1000, and it had the same problem. Hope they replicate the issue and a new version solves it.

I have another issue, but I'll just create a new thread.

Thanks Boondokcs. Yeah, took me so many iterations, w/o thinking iRST would be an option, as I was thinking it was one of the necessary technologies like the Intel chipset. Only after further reading did I think of trying to uninstall it.

Can you elaborate a bit more, what issues did you encounter? Are you still using it now (12.7... or 12.6...?), or have it uninstalled already and just using the msahci driver? Though we may have different setups since I my drives are not in RAID (just individual drives). I also had another issue with iRST, when copying large files (videos) to other devices, it would slow down (like from around 150MB/s to ??KB/s), forcing me to stop the transfer. Prior to copying, iRST would report the drives Transmission Rate as 6Gb/s but when it slows down, it would then report 1.5Gb/s. Without iRST, it works fine, even copying files totalling to 40GB at one time. I wish the issue with iRST would be resolved though, because the initial transfer rates were great. Same with the benchmarks of my SSD, they were higher with iRST.

I'm using 12.7 now with no problems...but everything that has been posted here between this one and 12.6.0.1033 has been trouble for me....everything from not booting to some SATA ports not working.

I transferred about 2GB of files from another machine to this one on my home network and it went pretty smooth and quick, although I broke it up into 200MB chunks.

Now if I could just get this thing to sleep.......

I see. Just to clarify the version you're currently using, when you say 12.7, is it the same as 12.7.1.1000, or it it a different, previous release than the 12.7.1.1000?

Though booting and SATA ports have never been an issue, so far, my other problem has to do with my boot SSD disappearing in the BIOS after a shutdown. Stays visible though if only a reboot.
