Hardware :: Can SATA 3 (SATA III) Hard Disk Be Run On Motherboard Which Only Support SATA II
Aug 13, 2010Can SATA 3 (SATA III) Hard disk be run on motherboard which only supports SATA II, except sacrificing the speed (throughput)?
View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: SATA II / Error "ata4: Limiting SATA Link Speed To 1.5 Gbps" - Allowing The SSD To Run At SATA II Speeds?
May 1, 2011I keep getting this error in my log viewer every 2 seconds: Code: ata4: limiting SATA link speed to 1.5 Gbps I have a dual boot SSD and I have run many SMART tests in windows and linux, (using smartmon tools and the disk utility) and the reports are all 100% healthy..... My research shows that this error represents one of the following:
1. Problem with SATA controller
2. Changing BIOS to allow SATA
3. Changing SATA mode to PATA or AHCI
4. Replacing the SATA cable
5. Allowing the SSD to run at SATA II speeds, i.e. 3 Gbps
- Does anyone know how to try number 5, i.e. allowing the SSD to run at SATA II speeds? I am lost here and this problem has caused my machine to crash twice when watching a movie in linux/ ubuntu. (It is worth noting that the crashes have only occurred in linux and I have never had an issue in windows, so it does seem to be a linux setting somewhere, hence why I think it is a "allowing SATA II to run at correct speeds issue")
Ubuntu :: SATA Libata Verses Silicom Images SATA Module
Jun 21, 2010I installed Ubuntu 10.04, and happened to have an Silicom Images PCXpress card plugged in, and it kindly added the sil_sata module.This is fine for this chip set.I think that my earlier installation of Ubuntu 9.04 used Libata, which does support NCQ and also has good legacy support for the Intel Intel ICH7 chipset I have inside my Sony Vaio SZ notebook. Also, libata also support Silicon Image chipsets as far as I can tell from URL...I wish to remove the Silicom Images SATA modules and replace this with libata and then test the performance between the two device drivers.

Jul 4, 2010My friend bought an old hard drive. He noticed something with the hard drive that it was just replaced with a SATA socket. So meaning, the SATA socket was soldered to the PATA hard disk to replace the PATA socket to SATA socket to make it a SATA.
Now the question is:
1. Does the Transfer Rate of the harddisk (that has been replaced from PATA socket to SATA socket) would be SATA transfer rate? OR would still be PATA transfer rate?

Ubuntu :: Sata HD Hot Swapping?
Sep 1, 2011I am using Ubuntu 10.04, 64 bits. I need to swap sata hard drives (they are installed in drawers). If I umount and remove a disk, and then put the same drive in it's place, I can mount it again with no problems. If I put another disk in place of the original, it says: mount: special device /dev/sdc1 does not exist. If I reboot, the new disk is mounted correctly (sdc1 is in fstab).

Is there a way that I can burn a CD that will just boot from a particular hard drive? I think some older Linux distros used to give you an option like that (maybe Slackware?)
Hardware :: Transfer From IDE Hdd To SATA Hdd?
Jan 25, 2010Is there a device that would allow me to transfer files from my old IDE hdd to a new SATA hdd?

Thus, I would like to get the current files on the IDE hdd and either transfer them to a SATA hdd or burn them to DVD.

Fedora Installation :: Can't Get SATA And IDE Drives
May 4, 2009I have a 500gig SATA drive and a 320gig IDE drive installed in an HP a6700y/9150e 1.8GHz Quad, 4 gig ram... The Fedora installer only sees the 500g SATA drive, and not the 320g IDE drive where I want to install Fedora. Now I know that I can't always get what I want, but in this case I am not willing to mess with the working Vista installation just to get Fedora installed.
Vista BTW sees the 320 just fine. I am clueless as to where to begin with this. I gave up in Fedora with my Celeron based machine because of speed issues.... But this new box should have more than enough horsepower to run F!
Fedora :: SATA DVD Burner Not Supported?
Feb 26, 2010I just got a new DVD burner and decided to get a cheapest burner (an LG SATA burner) I did not have much preferences on either IDE or SATA so I just got a serial ATA. K3B burns DVD's just fine, but the speed is pegged at 1x even though writing speed specified was 8x. Device buffer is fluctuating from 0 to 80% all the time, which seems to suggest that the data is not being fed into the drive at good sustained rate to write faster.
I tried:
hdparm -d /dev/sr0
which I got:
/dev/sr0:
HDIO_GET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device

General :: Boot From Disk With Both USB And SATA
Aug 17, 2010I have a SSD Harddisk with both an usb and Sata connection, and I want to be able to boot both from usb and sata but I can't make it work. When the disk is connected with sata anything works fine but when I connect it with usb instead, Fedora seems to boot but then it gives me an "No root device found" error and just sleep forever. This happens even if I install fedora 13 while the disk is connected with usb. I am running Fedora Core 13. I changed my fstab to
/dev/sda2 / ext4 defaults 1 1
And the disk is still booting when connected to the sata controller. So far so good. But if I boot from the usb connection, it still give me the same "No root device found" message. Even more odd is it that if I boot my fedora core 13 dvd, and choose "rescue installed system" it can't detect the harddisk when connected to usb. And there is no /dev/sd* or anything similarly which could look like a blockdevice. Did redhat forget to include usb drivers in their rescue image for Fedora core? I just tried the disk on an other system, with exactly the same problems.
I have now added the LABEL=myroot line to fstab(I guess it have to be uppercase to work) and the harddisk still boot fine when using sata, but it still can't boot using usb. I begin to guess that redhat forgot some usb drivers In fedora Core 13, because the system can't see the harddisk when booting the dvd and entering rescue mode. blkid don't show any harddisks at all and there are no block devices in /dev/ which might be my usb disk. Is it possible to find the uuid of partitions if id add the usb harddisk to a windows computer, and more important: will this be the same uuid as linux will se.

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Booting The USB2 And E-SATA?
Mar 20, 2010I've been using a 2GB flash drive with Ubuntu on it for the last few weeks, instead of a full install as my main laptop is down with hardware failure. I'm finding that it works so well, that I'm tempted to go this way permanently. I really like having the same setup on whatever machine I happen to be using. Anyway, If I was to do this I'd need a drive with more space and I've come across portable SSD drives that support connections over both USB & E-Sata.
If I had Ubuntu installed on such a drive would it be able to boot over both kinds of connections or would I be limited to whatever connection I did the install over? My work laptop supports e-sata, so I'd like to use that mainly but I would like to be able to use USB when e-sata isn't available.

Jul 16, 2010Just built a new machine, 500gb SATA hard disk and IDE DVD writer, all installed fine, did the updates, then on reboot the system hangs on detecting the IDE optical, wont boot unless I select safe mode. If I choose safe mode all works fine. If I unplug the optical drive everything works perfectly. I've changed everything in BIOS I can think of, Ive even tried putting another IDE device in and juggling master & slave on the IDE channel, no joy. I'm thinking the only way round this is to fit a SATA optical drive. It seems its getting confused when detecting the IDE device which device to boot from & ignoring SATA 0. In the post it detects the SATA devices, front panel USB's and SD card slots, then does a dercond detect for IDE devices where it hangs.

Ubuntu :: Installing Sata Card On 10.04?
May 2, 2010I purchased a new Sata Card today so I can install multiple harddrives on my system, but It appears as though I am missing the drivers for the card, because it is simply not recognizing it. how to obtain drivers for these cards and install them?
Edit - Just in case you were wondering, the Sata Card is Generic, and I have no idea who the manufacturer is. It literally says 'Sata Card' on the box and has no company information, but I did buy it at a reputable business, so I have no doubt that it should work fine. It is most likely this card: Newegg.com - SYBA SD-SATA-4P PCI SATA Controller Card

Aug 27, 2010I have Ubuntu 10.04 LTS just installed on my IDE 41Gb HDD. After installation, I plugged in a SATA 320 Gb HDD. I ran gparted, I partitioned the HDD in 3. It was recognized as sda1... I could see the 3 partitions in my "Places" renamed as I wanted, could see my IDE HDD and my external 1TB HDD. But after one day, computer was not turned off, I come back to it and... couldn't see what I previously had done (my 3 partitions on SATA just vanished?). I reset the PC and go in BIOS - nothing there. Turn off PC, reboot>BIOS> HDD SATA 2 recognized. Press F10 save, Ubuntu is up, but still no SATA hard disk. I go to gparted... no option with SATA. What can I do to have it back? I didn't mount anything since during partition I didn't have this option. This is what shows up now: (the 41 Gb HDD is now sda, before was sdb - I guess because it is smaller?)

Hardware :: Choosing Between Two SATA PCI Controllers?
Jan 10, 2011I would like to buy PCI to SATA II controller for my machine. I'd like to use them on Debian Lenny stable (2.6.26-2 kernel). So I'm choosing between noname (Logilink ?) card with Sil3124 chip and HighPoint 1720 card. Functionality basically is the same for both cards or at least it is enough for my needs. I will run mdadm anyway. So the question is should I really pay 3 times more for HighPoint ? Is there any reason for that or Sil3124 will do the same ? What about compatibility ? As I know both cards are supported on thet kernel.
