📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses an issue with a user unable to get a Crucial MX500 SSD to be recognized on an ASUS P6X58D Premium motherboard, specifically related to the Marvell SATA ports not detecting the new drive. The original poster questions if a driver update is needed, and later a user suggests downloading and installing the Marvell drivers from the ASUS website in compatibility mode. However, subsequent comments indicate that installing these drivers didn't resolve the issue, leading to speculation that the problem might be related to BIOS settings, such as the SATA mode being set to IDE instead of AHCI. Overall, the thread reflects troubleshooting efforts with no definitive fix provided yet.

Running an ASUS P6X58D Premium MB. MB has a 6.0 GBs Marvell 9123 adapter with 2 ports. Also has 6 Intel SATA ports 3.0 GB. Bought a Crucial MX500 SSD 1TB drive. The controller does not recognize the Crucial SSD Drive. I was already running an older drive on the Marvell Adapter and it is working fine.

Looking at the Device Manager under Storage devices I see "Intel Chipset SATA Raid Controller" and "Microsoft Storage Spaces Controller". I do not see the Marvell adapter.

Scratching my head on what could be wrong. DO I need a special driver? Any thoughts?

Go to your mobo website and download the marvell driver. You'll need to download the windows 7 driver for it and then run it in compatibility mode.

Sorry to necro this thread, but is this still the 'fix' to this issue? Having exactly the same problem installing a Crucial MX500 on a Link Removed with 2 Marvell SE9128 SATA 3 ports. Any help would be amazing, thankyou!

I tried installing these drivers and it didn't fix the problem. I think the issue must be in the BIOS, seeing as the BIOS itself is not reading the SSD as SATA (but rather IDE). Any ideas?
