Hi,
I can't seem to find much help on these models but am wondering about a few things:
1) Will they support SATA drives using the relevant cables?
2) Are they limited to certain machines only or should they work fine in any motherboard with an available PCI-E slot?
3) Do they require any specific settings in BIOS to work with UEFI, TPM and Secure boot?
4) What could cause one to prevent my computer from completing POST tests and make it freeze before it has even fully loaded the BIOS (can't even access BIOS with it in the board)?
And finally 5) Would my motherboard's onboard RAID conflict with the card and cause issues or should that not matter?
System Specs:
MSI X470 Gaming Pro Carbon
Ryzen 5 3600
16GB DDR4 2400
Various drives - total over 12 at present (8 RAID, the rest for standard system use using the onboard AMD RAID system - excluding boot drive)
Adaptec card has battery backup and cache module as well
I tried both the CPU direct slot and the chipset slot
I tried manually settings the slot(s) to PCI-e2 in BIOS
I tried clearing CMOS and fully powering down (mains cable out and hold power button for 30 secs) - this resulted in seeing half of the RAID card startup text but it still freezing up (with that text on screen).
The seller believes the card is faulty and has dispatched a replacement but I wanted to check somewhere before I install this one.
Any suggestions or theories welcome on this one.
Thanks in advance everyone!
