Subject: FM2A88X Pro3+ PCIe support for non-graphics cards
Posted: 03 Sep 2016 at 3:21am
UPDATE: I received another card from the seller and I'm getting the same result. The System browser did not see the card at all. On one of the myriad boot attempts I made, it tried to init the card, but then said that it could not communicate with the BIOS.
I am starting to think that there is some incompatibility between the UEFI bios on this motherboard and the 9650se. My google searches revealed that the 9650se doesn't allways re-init on soft boot on a UEFI machine.
Are any of you aware of an inexpensive SAS / Hardware raid card that is KNOWN to work with this motherboard?
I really don't need the hardware RAID for my application, but hardware RAID cards by the big makers are usually good cards and have battery backed caches for better performance and fault tolerance.
I can buy system-pull used boards on eBay for less than I can buy a simple 4-port SATA PCIe x1 card. So I figure why not get the better device ---- but I struck out on a compatibility issue with the 9650se.
