Need Help Troubleshooting Z77 Extreme 4 Mobo

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi, All.
Picked up an Extreme 4 Mobo about 1.5 years ago and finally getting around to setting it up in a new case. Now that I've got all of the hardware, I'm running into a weird issue.  

I have the following drives installed:
Samsung 850 EVO SSD
Western Digital Velociraptor SATA 6
Western Digital Green WD20EZRX SATA 6
SATA DVD drive

When booting, the SSD is detected, but none of the other drives is detected when attached to the mobo.  I've tried:
Connecting the drives one at a time
Connecting them to different SATA ports on the mobo
Connecting them with different SATA and/or power cables

In each case, the SSD drive IS detected, while none of the other drives (including the DVD drive) are detected.

Ironically, an older drive (Western Digital WD5000AAKX) connected to the hot swap bay on my case (NZXT H2) IS detected.

Still doing further troubleshooting, but wondering if anyone may had similar experiences and/or if anyone might have some clues on this.

Thanks,

Michael
