Ports SATA are not functioning properly.
Hi, I'm dealing with an issue where some SATA ports aren't functioning properly. My system runs an older i7-2600 processor on an Intel DH67GD board, and there are six SATA ports in total—two 6Gbps, two 3Gbps, and two eSATA. The two 6Gbps ports are active, but the 3Gbps ones (and eSATA) aren't showing up in disk management tools like HWiNFO or BIOS. When I connect another drive or drives usually in the 6Gbps ports, they disappear from the list. I've confirmed all ports are enabled in BIOS, tested various cables and power supplies, and even swapped out different drives without success. I'm only considering future upgrades now. Thanks ahead. Edit: The board doesn't have any M.2 slots. Updated August 2, 2022 by Matttaj69
This reminds me of my high school days. The article discusses how the chipset might be outdated or physically damaged.
You can locate a PCIe SATA card when additional connections are required.
