This Silicon Image 3132 controller has a software problem, it picks up my Samsung HD160JJ in RAID BIOS but the driver won't show it in Windows. I tried the RAID application, but it just goes by the driver. I tried the latest drivers and BIOS for the controller. I even tried setting the HD160JJ with the SATA 1.5gb jumper on.
It picks up every other SATA drive just fine. And every other controller I have picks up the HD160JJ just fine.
The HD160JJ is a newer version of the SP1614 Serial ATA drive, with the SATA 3gb controller change. I've been able to RAID the SP1614 with the HD160JJ on other controllers, it works perfectly to do so. But the 3132 won't pick up the HD160JJ even in single mode, from within Windows.
The SP1614 works fine in Windows, by itself, on the 3132 controller.
Now that I've pre-rebutted all the ignorant responses, I have a question for the better informed: What's the deal with Silicon Image and Samsung's SATA 3gb drives?
