since ive posted a bunch of benches of highpoint rr3510 + 4x wd6400aaks..

i myself had 4 undetectable 6400s @ other controllers and have been asked on this matter..

note: bios 1.3 on the 3510 had no warning.. bios 1.4 includes warning



follow these steps to revert puis by writing zeros to drives

remove any drive that you have os/windows installed connected to the mobo

plug sata cables to mobos onboard native controller

start pc.. after all drives spin up.. disconnect cables @ drives from rr35x0

connect the cables from onboard to drives.. youve just hot-swapped

at this point have the hdd cd tools (ex: data lifeguard tools) loaded and run it

write zeros to drives.. restart pc.. detection inevitable



the proper way to enable puis is to jumper certain pins @ hdd per your manufacturer

make sure you jump the pins before enabling staggered spinup on any controller

that will save you from some headaches

this method works @ other controllers.. not just for the hpt rr35x0


if any Qs feel free..
