I have what I believe to be a hitachi deskstar 1TB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822145167 thats running sata to my computer. but the device manager says that its hitachi HDS721010LKA SCSI disk device. Why does it say its SCSI when its connected by a sata wire (it also has a IDE port but its definitely not SCSI). Also I cannot get SMART information about my device(because of the above?). That means that it does not show up on speedfan and the everest hd utility. Anyone have the same problem and how did they solve it? Thanks for reading and any advice would be appreciated.

When connecting a SATA device in BIOS you hve two options:
__________________
SCSI mode IDE mode Both are SATA. IDE mode is used if you need to boot Windows XP. My System: FordyPC

Sorry, I got that wrong actually.
It's IDE and AHCPI modes. But it still doesn't matter that it's SCSI, it still "knows" it's SATA, SCSI is just a broader category extending beyond just SATA HDD's. |
