[SOLVED] Asmedia 106X Sata expander: Can't find any device

[europa1]

Hello,

On my computer I have 6 sata ports. I've used all for hard drives but I still need more storage.
Because of this I purcased 2 Port PCI Express SATA 6 Gbps eSATA Controller Card - Dual Port PCIe SATA III Card - 2 Int/2 Ext.

I've installed in into my motherboard, but when I start my computer I get this message:

My computer:

"Can't find any device" is probably because there are no drives connected to it yet?

If you have connected a drive to it, make sure the on-board jumper is configured for using either the external SATA ports or internal SATA ports as appropriate.

Hello,
It was the on-board jumpers that had to be changed. I changed them and now it works.
Thanks for the help!

Congrats !

I have one that will not work in my Dell 9020 Desktop. Mine connets a Addonics box with 4 drives in it so it has a multiplier in it.
Do you go to 1 drive or multi.
I also see that mine works in Win 10x64 1903 but not in 1909,or the latest 2004.
What o/s do you use?

I use FreeNAS.

Okay.
Hadn't heard of that one before but will take a look.
We have 2 QNAP NAS' as well.
A 2 drive and a 4 drive, as well as that 4 drive mini tower.
Take care

Hello europa1

Can you tell me exactly where are those jumpers that need to be RESET in order to TURN OFF the annoying prompt: 'Can't Find Device'?

Thank You! 😳
