Assuming thats a Samsung drive that is correct
Your card will also appear as scsi/raid controler

Yes I installed the SATA II controller card's drivers. Yes the drive is a
Samsung and the model number is correct, but I don't see why Device
Manager's 'Disk Drives' section lists the drive as 'Samsung HD103UJ SCSI
Disk Device' when the drive is a SATA II drive and not a SCSI drive.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Hi,

Yesterday I installed a new 1TB SATA II hard disk and a PCI-Express x1
SATA II controller card to connect it to.

In 'Disk Management' I made it a 'Basic' disk, made one partition of the
whole disk, and quick formatted it. It appears to be working fine.

However... in 'Device Manager' under 'Disk Drives' it lists the new
drive as 'Samsung HD103UJ SCSI Disk Device'. As I already stated it is a
SATA II disk drive. When I bring up the disk's properties in 'Device
Manager' it has the same tabs as my other SATA II disks but it also has
a 'SCSI Properties' tab.

I don't really understand this and am concerned that the wrong drivers
have been installed. The controller card that I installed also has an
entry in 'Device Manager' under 'SCSI and RAID controllers'. I am not
using the RAID facility of the controller card but it does have RAID
capabilities.

I don't want to start using the new disk until I know it's been
installed correctly and the controller card and drivers are all
operating as they should be and not set-up wrong.

Can someone advise me on this please?

Many thanks and regards, etc.,

Matt

To add to what DL posted:

The info you are getting comes from the controller card.
The controller card accepts SCSI commands and converts them to SATA
Hencs, as far as Windows knows, you have inserted a SCSI card which reports
its identification as you see it.
