Sofatester Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 I have an 1124... Force 3 F120 and if i connect it to the Marvell 91xx SATA 6G Controller on my Asus P7P55D-E Board it rapidly reboots after initialasing the Controller. (Force 3 is shown by the Controller) If I connect my Seagate 3TB drive it works with same cable on same Port. On Intel Onboard 3GB/s Sata Port the Force is working fine but not with full speed. (Only 280 MB/s max) Is there any firmware update or trick to make it working on the marvel Controller ? BIOS is 1504 (latest ASUS BIOS for this Board) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted July 5, 2011 Corsair Employee Share Posted July 5, 2011 Try using a shorter Sata 3 cable (12 inch or shorter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sofatester Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 I tried now with shorter cable and the reboot loop is gone, but now it shows "Disk read Error" If i connect and boot from 3GB/s Intel SATA it works well but not at full speed... :[pouts: http://s3.imgimg.de/uploads/bootorder10993206jpg.jpg http://s3.imgimg.de/uploads/marvel6794e9adjpg.jpg http://s3.imgimg.de/uploads/diskreaderror719d0757jpg.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pslind Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 The truth is that the Marvell controller sucks it's a proven fact. It even says 91xx on its bios screen lol... Come on Marvell, you don't know whether it is 9123 or 9128? I would try using the Intel sata 2 controller instead, to see if it still gives an error. The Intel might be a bit slower on sequential reads/writes. But from what I have read, 4K operations are what matters in daily use. And the Marvel 912x doesn't pass trim commands with any driver - the intel does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
