Hi. :)
I have a Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD3H motherboard and I purchased a WD HC310 (0B35948 HUS726T4TALN6L4) HDD.
After I created a 4 TB NTFS volume, the PC cannot pass the POST (just freezes).
If I detach the new HDD, start the PC and then hotplug the new HDD, it's working fine. But it's not really convenient to uplug/replug the HDD each time the PC starts.
If I choose "IDE" mode of the SATA controller, PC starts OK, but the performance is worse.
How do I use the new HDD with 4TB NTFS volume in AHCI mode?
P.S. Found similar issue, not solved: SATA HDD freezes BIOS POST - Works fine Hot Swap after | Tom's Hardware Forum
UPDATE1: neither MBR or GPT without any created volumes work, still freezes on POST. Only uninitialized disk can pass the POST.
UPDATE2: PC can pass the POST in RAID mode. Doesn't seem like a solution.
UPDATE3: SOLVED after 4 months by Mateusz from superuser.com and Gigabyte support, who modified the BIOS. T2:
