You'd just be limited to 6 total SATA connected drives with it (including your optical drive, as I'm assuming it has one, unless you wanted to yank it and go with a USB attached optical drive so you could use it's SATA port for another hard drive). Of course, you can buy cheap adapters so you can also use 2.5"or 3.5" drives in the three 5.25" bays and buy cheap adapters to use 2.5" versus 3.5" drives as desired the four 3.5" bays. But, since you only have 6 SATA ports, you couldn't use all 7 bays at once (unless you were using the optional card reader in one of the optical bays since it's USB attached). It's got three Optical Drive bays (5.25") and four 3.5" Drive Bays.

The user manual for the Aurora R4 with the X79 chipset based motherboard shows a motherboard layout with 6 SATA Ports on it. Gotta love Dell Outlet from my perspective (as you can find some good deals if you're a good shopper, and they have the same warranty as a new machine). I've bought 7 refurbished Dell computers over the past 10 years or so for me and my wife (multiple desktops and multiple laptops/netbooks), so I'm pretty familiar with where to find stuff on their support site. With a specific system, it's even easier (since you can plug in the service tag number and see downloads for the exact way your system is equipped like the graphics card, etc.).

Ditto for downloads (where you can select a model and get to the pages for a system).

I'd be very reluctant to buy any PC where I didn't know its specifications in detail.ĭell has manuals online for all of their systems. The few Alienware PCs I've seen were pretty noisy, but I don't know about that model in particular. Some PCs add extra ports with third-party chipsets, but I'd rather go native. If you want more ports, you might look for a PC using the X99 chipset I think that i7-4960X uses the older X79. might be up to the task for video editing as well as photo editing and for the price seems to be reasonable value. Not much difference from custom building a machine using either an i7-4790K or an i7-5820K here in the UK.Īlthough this is primarily a gaming machine I think that the spec. I can find no information as to how many SATA connections are available on the motherboard. As far as I can gather from Dell's site this model is very limited on the number of USB ports that are available.

Sometimes something as seemingly harmless as a Windows Update could cause this if it makes a change to Windows that alters the way the driver you had was communicating with the operating system. When did this problem first show up? If it's recent and had been working prior to this with no system changes, then it COULD be a sign of failing hardware (don't worry, this probably isn't the case). If it's a custom machine, go to the motherboard manufacturer's site or contact the motherboard manufacturer. Is it a pre-built OEM machine? If so, take a look on the manufacturer's website. To get the necessary drivers, you'd want to take a look at your system. Is there an error number or message that goes along with this or do you just get a generic "Device is not working properly" message? Try a Google search for the error message to get a clearer picture, or post it here and we'll take a look. I always recommend working out ALL hardware issues on your system to avoid random crashes, system slowdown, odd errors or possible hardware failures that can cascade. It's possible to have multiple controllers and if they're responsible for ports you are NOT using, then you may not have any issues but even if a device is not in use you can end up with system crashes and instability. The Serial ATA Controller, or SATA controller, is a component of your motherboard that allows the computer to make use of SATA devices (IE: HDDs, optical drives, etc).
