Gringo Vermelho Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 PC hardware RAID does not work in OS X. Drivers that are written for Windows will not work on OS X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmnardone Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 but, you said that for pc hardware, but, you know what hakingstosh is? but if i do not use RAID, why when i connect the sata HD in sas connector, dont appeare on the finder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 1. You don't understand. PC "hardware RAID" is partly managed by your motherboard BIOS. OS X doesn't work with that because that's not how real Macs work. Enabling RAID in your BIOS (AKA PC "Hardware RAID") means nothing to OS X. Unless you have some kind of RAID capable expansion card that has specific OS X drivers for it, all you can do is software RAID. This can be built from Disk Utility. Of course it will not be visible when you're running Windows! 2. Probably because there is no driver loaded for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampage Dev Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Please read the spec of your motherboard because it is evident that you did not. You need a Xeon CPU to use those SATA/SAS ports. Failure to have a Xeon CPU installed means the ports will not work. This is very clear in the spec of the motherboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I didn't know that the ECC Memory limitation due to the absence of a Xeon processor could affect also the SAS functionality... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
