Sam 440ep multiple hard drives

Hi,

I have a 3 hard drives and DVD drive connected to sata ports.

Problem is that SSD drives that I have gives time out and doesn't appear to Hd install utility. Mounter tells time out. I have tested with two SSD drives and one mechanical which seems to work righ a way.

BUT if I just keep it connected it might just appear as drive and after that it just works.

Any ideas? I tried to find if there is something for a uboot shell?

Hi Utri007,

Is this a Sam440mini? Is it possibly your power supply isn't
putting out enough power to drive all those drives?

You could try pulling a few drives and seeing if the other ones
work correctly. Then alternate to the others and try again.

With my Sam440mini I ended up replacing the original power
supply from ACube with a higher wattage mini-ITX model.

I think this might be the one I got:

Maybe that might help you?

Good luck!!

Thanks, but no. This is Flex version and it has a 550W PSU.

Mechanical drives seems to work, but not SSD. It also has Radeon HD7750 graphics cards, so if there is not enough juice, I ques it would freeze first.

My conclusion is that some reason some SSD hard drives just doesn't work with Sam 440ep Flex.

Mounting them end up to time out.
