F8M is unbalanced in Gigabyte Motherboard C300 SATA3 SSD

[Ticod]

I am using Crucial C300 SATA3 SSD. Attached to Marvell SATA3 port when I updated it to F8M BIOS, the POST monitor remain constant for approx 20 sec for the period of "Detecting IDE Drives". The entire IDE drives are before now detached. The Crucial C300 SSD was vanished from CMOS menu. As a result the the process of booting is failed. I tried it lots of time but nothings resolved. The main thing is this problem only occurs in Marvell SATA3 port.

the SATAII 3Gb/s 4K processes very good, with that also the ports are more stable. the main thing is F8 BIOS is not launched yet . I am having UD7 and C300.actully marvell is not suitable for C300 , it will be better if you use 4K speeds with the Intel controller. I have modification with F8m, and with latest RAID ROM and with LAN also without changing the Marvell Firmware . I have experienced C300 and Marvell with the connected F8m BIOS and everything is working nicely with out having any kind of bug or error.

the best thing what you can do is let the remain drive on the Intel port connection, with SATAII_0 initial SATA port, that is the perfect port connection for the C300. Marvell controller are generally unsteady, frequently they keep on freezing, as a result at some time it is not detect what you are you are considering with some other BIOS.

The Marvell 1.31 drivers seems to pass TRIM, i did not check the performance stays great with the Marvell controller. and about the performance among Marvell and ICH10R. I got both are near to same, but for some reason the Marvell is quicker, and for rest of ICH10R is a little faster.
