Quick Link:
Q: Does MB992SK-B support the new SATA 3.3 Power Disable feature (PWDIS)?
A: The MB992SK-B does not support the SATA 3.3 PWDIS feature. If you install the SATA HDD/SSD with PWDIS in MB992SK-B , the drive will not spin, and the system won't detect the drive. See the list below for known SATA HDD/SSD with the PWDIS feature.
Known SATA HDD/SSD with Power Disable Feature (PWDIS)
WD | Ultrastar C15K600
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
Samsung | PM883
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
Seagate | EXOS 15E900
|
Note: the SAS hard drive or SSD does not use the Pin 3 of SATA power connector for PWDIS feature and compatible with MB992SK-B .
While we recommend to avoid using the SATA HDD/SSD with PWDIS, you can use the methods below to disable the PWDIS feature physically if you already purchased the drive:
Method 1 – Using the Molex to SATA adapter or cable to disconnect the power to Pin 3 of the SATA power connector.
