WD Green 2TB HD (partly) not recognized by MSI Z170A-PC-MATE

[videox]

Hi guys... As said, my problem is this: I have just connected four drives to this new mobo (haven't installed OS yet, Windows 7 x64 to come). In slot 1 is the system drive, in slot 2 biggest drive (a year old, from the title) and couple more drives in slots 3 & 4. Everthing was recognized but slot 2. I have then switched drive from slot 4 (10 years old drive) to slot 2 and WD drive to slot 4 and now all is recognized. But why it doesn't recognize when WD is in slot 2?

Hi there videox,

That is strange.
Have you tried to attach the WD Green drive to slot 2 once again? Probably it wasn't properly seated/connected the first time.
All of these ports are SATA 3 ones right? (you can check that out in the manual) See if there's any difference between those.

Keep in mind that it is always a good idea to back up the data stored on the drives. One of them is quite old.

Cheers,

Thanks D_Know, that was it, I tried one more time both sides and it worked.
