I've read that the SB850 chipset mobos are incompatible with the Samsung F3 HDDs unless you flash the HDD with new firmware. To flash it, can I use the parts as they are (though I read that it would make an annoying sound) and then flash it or should I use a different computer to do so? i.e. is there any risk in using the HDD with the mobo before flashing it?
I have the Asus M4A89GTD PRO and a 500GB F3. It worked without any flashing. I have heard that it'll work okay if you disable the 6gbps option in the BIOS but I didn't have to do this.
Some BIOS updates have an update such as "Improved compatability with Samsung Hard drives". I'm unsure what this has done to the situation though.
I think the problem is that it doesn't recognise the drives in the BIOS, so you'll have to use a different computer to flash them.
Ah ok, so it would be fine for me to connect them and see what happens, right?Quote:
