Hello there,
after few years with WHS1 I decided to "upgrade" my HP Media Smart Server EX490 to WHS2011. I performed unnatended installation (all worked OK).
Now I want to connect my back-up e-SATA drive to rear connector. However the drive is not recognised by WHS2011 and I have Mass Storage Controller among my devices having no driver.
I installed Intel SATA AHCI driver as per this post: http://forum.wegotserved.com/index.php?/files/file/251-lights-management-for-windows-home-server-2011/ (although I don't care about LEDs right now).
My Intel Rapid Storage Technology application shows External Empty port 5 even if I connect the drive.
See screenshot of devices attached. I assume that this mysterious storage controller is the reason why I don't see the e-Sata drive.
Let me point our that the very same external HDD was working OK under WHS1.
Any idea what this second storage controller is and what driver to install?
Thanks, Jiri
