Controller: Marvell 91xx SATA 6G Controller: driver v. 1.2.0.1003 (latest from ASRock website). Did anyone experience anything similar?
SMART enabled in UEFI.

Edit: Both SSDs have latest firmwares.
Hi Ket. I'm pulling this one out again as I still haven't found the way to solve it. I have noticed that the drives aren't even recognized in UEFI. They are both on Marvell controller. I saw one forum member had the same issue and he solved it with removing Intel RST. I didn't even use it but tried installing and checking for differences. Didn't help at all.

Also, why is ASRock suggesting putting boot devies on Intel controller (this is a recommendation in UEFI) if Marvell is supposed to be faster. I'm getting a new SATA II drive tomorrow and it's frustrating my old 775 MBO enabled me to use all SSD tools needed and this one doesn't even recignize the drives..

thx
