ASUS SABERTOOTH X58: I dont succeed to install new Chipset.
Paul and Rob,
I have just intalled this file: Nome file: iata_cd.exe Versione: 10.1.0.1008 Now in My Compuer/Controller Storage I see: Intel(R) Desktop/Workstation/Server Express Chipset SATA RAID Controller Why is there "Server Express Chipset " Is it the right driver for me? However it seems to work fine. Thanks a lot for your help! |

ASUS SABERTOOTH X58: I dont succeed to install new Chipset.
With that Update my PC now works very fine. A last question please:
in My Compuer/Storage Controller I'd like tu update another driver. On itI see "Marvell 91xx SATA 6G Controller" 25-12-2009 v. 1.0.0.1034 Can I update it with a newer driver? In ASUS SABERTOOTH X58 in SATA page I see: Marvell 91XX Controller Beta Driver V1.2.0.1002 for Windows 32/64bit Vista & 32/64bit Windows 7.(WHQL) and Marvell 9128 Controller Driver V1.0.0.1034 for 32/64bit Windows XP & Windows Vista & Windows 7.(WHQL) Are they the right driver for me? I inform you I have: 1 hardrive for OS 2 hardrives in RAID0 2 hardrives in RAID0 Can I install that driver? Thanks |

I inform you I have: 1 hardrive for OS 2 hardrives in RAID0 2 hardrives in RAID0 Can I install that driver? Thanks http://vip.asus.com/forum/view.aspx?...Language=en-us "The standard Marvell driver has issues, as many people have reported in this forum, just look at some older posts to see. Freezing is a common problem with that driver, I assume you are using that one. There is a new Beta driver that Marvell has released that works much better than the previous one, and is available now on the Download page for this board. It is an AHCI driver, but does not support RAID as the older driver does. It works much better and I have only heard good things about it. I use it on two PCs with Marvell chips and it works fine." So if you use the beta driver, it doesn't support RAID, and that may break whatever RAID configuration you have connected to the Marvell SATA 6G ports. Another thread here, mentions drives disappearing, after a large file transfer is attempted. http://vip.asus.com/forum/view.aspx?...age=2&count=17 Marvell does not offer support for storage drivers here, only their network chips. http://extranet.marvell.com/drivers/search.do If doesn't seem that the Marvell is a very good chip, as the users here discuss trying to work with driver issues. Playing with this, looks like it is more trouble than it is worth. Use the ICH10R ports, for all your RAID needs. http://forum.giga-byte.co.uk/index.php?topic=4236.0 At the very least, you should test the drives currently connected to the Marvell controller, and see whether the drive "disappears" or not. If it does, then you know that the Marvell is a poor choice. Paul |

more trouble than it is worth. Use the ICH10R ports, for all your RAID
needs. Will I need to change something on the BIOS? What is the file to install ICH10R ports for my motherboard? If it doesn't work fine, can I come back easily? thanks for your infinite patience |

ASUS SABERTOOTH X58: I dont succeed to install new Chipset.
In an earlier posting, you said you have two RAID arrays
connected. One of those arrays must be connected to ICH10R, so the interface must already be in RAID mode. Yes, it is ok. Do all of the drives work at the current time ? Is the system fully configured, or are you still working on it ? I can't tell, from this thread so far, whether you are just updating drivers, and all the drives work. Or, you are in the process of building the system from scratch, and nothing currently works. My PC is 3 mounths old and it works enough fine with every driver but my editing video software gives me some problems. For that problem I'd like to update "Marvell 91xx SATA 6G Controller" 25-12-2009 v. 1.0.0.1034 but I don't kow what is the right file.. A friend of mine have told me to download the new driver he http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Int...LUXE/#download It is the same of my ASUS SABERTOOTH X58. In your opinion will I have some problem with my RAID0 with it? |

In your opinion will I have some problem with my RAID0 with it? The information I put in the previous post, says the "Beta" driver doesn't support RAID. That is the issue, that not all the drivers are the same in nature. One driver type supports AHCI, the other supports RAID and has a RAID console for control and observation. Marvell does not offer drivers on their web site. The Asus site has limited driver options for 91xx. The 91xx (for 9128) drivers, are in this set of files. ftp://ftp.asus.com/pub/asus/misc/sata/ Marvell9123-9120_V1001042_XpVistaWin7.zip 4048 KB 8/25/2010 Marvell9123_V1001030_XpVistaWin7.zip 2233 KB 12/22/2009 Marvell9123_V1001032_XpVistaWin7-Beta.zip 692 KB 12/24/2009 Marvell9128_V1001034_XpVistaWin7.zip 4043 KB 3/26/2010 Marvell91XX_V1001045.zip 3116 KB 11/ 3/2010 Marvell91XX_V1201002_VistaWin7_WHQL.zip 2826 KB 4/ 7/2011 --- The one marked with the arrow, has the following file in it. mvs91xx.inf %mvs91xxDesc%=mvs91xx_Inst,PCI\VEN_1B4B&DEV_9128&C C_0106 %mvs91xxDesc%=mvs91xx_Inst,PCI\VEN_1B4B&DEV_91A8&C C_0101 As far as I know, the "Class Code" or CC value, can distinguish between a simple disk and a RAID hardware setting. When the BIOS configures the chip, it may set up the enumeration to indicate one or the other type. That tells me, that particular driver probably supports more than one option (AHCI and RAID). And this text, tells me what it supports. ; *******Localizable Strings******* Marvell= "Marvell Inc." Desc_x860= "Marvell 91xx SATA 6G Controller Driver" mvs91xxDesc= "Marvell 91xx SATA 6G Controller" mvs91xxrDesc= "Marvell 91xx SATA 6G RAID Controller" --- That tells me, the driver supports RAID. Before using a driver file, use your 7ZIP program to unzip the installer. Inspect each .INF file, and look to see if "RAID" is mentioned. Since Asus does not label them in a useful fashion, you have to do such identification yourself. They did not make this easy, either Marvell, or Asus. There are other sources of copies of Marvell files, such as when Gigabyte motherboard company sells motherboards with 9128 on it. So you can expand your driver search, to more sites than just Asus. Just be careful that the INF mentions "RAID" before doing the update. If it was my computer, I would back up the C: drive, before using the installer for the RAID. If something bad happens, you can restore from backup. When drivers don't have good looking installer packages, I frighten easily :-) Paul |

ASUS SABERTOOTH X58: I dont succeed to install new Chipset.
Paul, I have just installed "Marvell91XX_V1201002_VistaWin7_WHQL.zip"
2826 KB 4/ 7/2011 and it seems everithing is ok. Now in My Computer/Storage Controller I see: "Marvell 91xx SATA 6G Controller" v. 1.2.0.1002 07/03/2011 If I open My Compuer I see that every Volume are the same "C", "D" "E". Is there the right step to verify if that install is ok? Thanks a lot for your availability. In an earlier posting, you said you have two RAID arrays connected.

Do you have two RAID drives connected to the Marvell controller right now ? I can see some comments here about the Marvell chip, and it has some limitations. The users seem every bit as confused, as I am :-) http://communities.intel.com/message/118161 Paul |

Do you have two RAID drives connected to the Marvell controller
right now ? Can you tell me how can I check if there are two RAID0 connected to the Marvell controller right now? In Storage Controller I have: Intel(R) Desktop/Workstation/Server Express Chipset SATA RAID Controller v.10.1.0.1008 JMicron JMB36X Controller v.1.17.56.2 Marvell 91xx SATA 6G Controller v. 1.2.0.1002 |
