Asus M2V-MX Motherboard AMD Socket AM2
Am I loosing the plot with SATA. This board comes with 2 SATA
connections. Older motherboards came with 2 IDEs. The IDEs had master and slave totaling 4 devices. I can only have 2 devices on this motherboard? Desmond. |

I can only have 2 devices on this motherboard? Desmond. Two on the PATA ribbon cable. Two via the two SATA connectors. A total of four devices. You paid $49 for a motherboard, and you got capability for four devices total. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131223 For $90, this one has two PATA (on one ribbon cable) and six SATA. The extra $40 buys you four more SATA ports. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131273 For $180, this one has two PATA, six SATA (Southbridge), two SATA (on a separate SIL3132 controller). http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131011 And you can always buy an add-in card with more storage interfaces, if you want to. For $20, you can get two extra SATA ports. This card is from Syba and uses a SIL3132 PCI Express x1 chip to make the two ports. (This would only work if you have the M2V-MX SE, as it has a PCI Express x1 slot. You can plug this into the PCI Express x16 slot, but that would be a terrible waste of a video card slot.) http://c1.neweggimages.com/NeweggIma...124-027-06.jpg If you connect one of these boxes to the SIL3132, it converts one SIL3132 port into five ports. Using two of these boxes (the boxes are $100 each), you could control up to ten disks from the SIL3132 chip. http://www.sataport.com/ And you can always use a USB2 to SATA or USB2 to IDE adapter, and connect disks that way (external enclosures or the bare adapter cable products).

I don't see this cable and no strange cable came with the board. I have 2 IDE coneectors suporting 4 IDE and 2 DATA connections. I paid £60 for this ($120) Desmond. |

The manual will have a list of the box contents. You can compare the list of the contents in the manual, against what actually shipped. You can also download the manual from Asus, before making a purchase decision. Then you will know what comes in the box, and can plan accordingly. It could be that the motherboard box has no SATA cables in it. This is an example of a SATA cable. http://www.satacables.com/assets/images/P72551603.jpg |
