Re: MOBO won't recognize SATA drives - sometimes

Good Point (to a point), lol.

I too have Gigabyte Board and I too have an occasioinal issue with a cold boot causing drive failures with my raid which is SATA based and attached to the Gigabyte SATA controller and not the standalone SATA controllers. Personally I think it's a spin up issue live Chevy says. I just do and control alt delete and let it restart itself as a warm boot. Never a problem for me when I do that. I mentioned the power supply as being probably a null issue for me since it's a 600 watter, but at the same time. On top of the 2 SATA raid drives, I'm also powering up a 10K SCSI drive along with a Core2 Duo Overclocked and a 7600GT PCI-E card. Got over 100 extra watts to play with according the a PSu calculator but one never knows.
