Ok, well in HDTune and Speedfan, none of my HDD's are identified in the SMART info. I remembered about a control mode for SATA drives in the BIOS, and see that there's an option called "Onboard SATA/IDE Control Mode." The choices are "IDE: SATA ports work as IDE mode," "AHCI: SATA ports work as AHCI mode," and "RAID/IDE: SATA ports work as RAID mode and IDE ports work as IDE mode."
It's currently set on IDE mode. Could this be the reason why my drives are not reporting back SMART data? If so, what should I change the option to?
There's also a couple other values I was wondering about. "SATA RAID/AHCI Mode" (options are Disabled, RAID, and AHCI) and "SATA Port0-3 Native Mode" are both disabled. Would it be one of these values instead or in combination with the other one I stated above?
Thanks for the help.
