Question FUJITSU Esprimo P400 Sata restriction?

[leejenson]

Hi,

I have a Fujitsu Esprimo P400 mini tower, but the four Sata sockets won't allow four decides, only three.

It's a mixture of behavior...

The forth device would not be recognized or the forth device would be recognized, but an existing Sata device would be made unavailable.

I'm wondering if I've hit a limit?

Board: FUJITSU D2990-A2 S26361-D2990-A2
Serial Number: B21DA6AC
Bus Clock: 100 megahertz
UEFI: FUJITSU // American Megatrends Inc. V4.6.5.3 R1.30.0 for D2990-A2x 04/22/2015

Thanks Lee

What PSU are you working with? How old is the unit? As for the storage devices, please include the make and models of all storage drives. Have you tried working with a replacement SATA cable...not swapping them with other known working cables from the existing build?
