On the storage side, this motherboard has a total of six SATA-300 ports, four provided by the south bridge (ICH8) and two provided by a JMicron JMB363 chip. The ports controlled by the chipset do not support RAID, as the south bridge used is ICH8 and not ICH8R, however the two ports controlled by the JMicron chip supports RAID0, RAID1 and JBOD.
One of these two ports is located externally, for connecting an external drive. This port is different, as it is a port multiplier connector, so you can’t use a regular SATA cable on it.
// però qua sembra che una delle due sia uguale come plug ... e che sia gestita da un controller diverso tale JMicron (e potrebbe essere interessante provare a vedere cosa succede li e questo potrebbe fare al caso tuo ...)
// qua parla invece di un drive ottico ATA/133 che sarebbe riconosciuto da windows solo dopo aver messo il driver da floppo. Ecco perchè non si usa il cd rom... LOL
It is very important to notice that the single ATA/133 port available on this motherboard is controlled by the JMicron chip, not by the chipset. This means that if you still have a parallel IDE optical drive it will only be recognized on Windows after you install JMicron’s driver. The problem is that this driver comes on the motherboard CD-ROM, and you won’t be able to install it, as the system does not recognize your optical drive. You can download the driver from the net, however the driver for the on-board LAN port is also on the CD-ROM… The only option you have is to copy the JMicron driver from the CD to a floppy disk or a USB pen drive using another PC. This problem happens not only with this motherboard from ASUS, but also with all other motherboards based on Intel P965 chipset we’ve seen to date.
Of course if you have a SATA optical drive you won’t face this issue. // qua sembra che i problemi li hai se hai una unità IDE... ma se il driver del chip JMicron serve pure per il primo pezzo che c'è scritto su ...
// non mi ha convinto molto manco sta review ... però qualcosa di interessante è venuto fuori.
