Using the tool Intel Rapid Storage Technology (IRST) v9.6.61001 the current status shows the several disks that are connected to the W701 Model 4323 on Port 0, Port 1, Port 2 and Port 5.
Port 4 shows empty and Port 3 - well that one I have never ever seen.
The device-name says that there are 6 ports on the
Intel AHCI controller: Intel(R) 5 Series 6 Port SATA AHCI ControllerBut the report says there are only 5 ports.
Number of SATA ports: 5The status windows and the report assigns disks to ports numbered from 0-5. That would result in 6 ports but that is not the case (according to Intel and the report).
So how comes there is a port numbered with 5 (that port corresponds to the eSATA port) even though that port should be numbered as 4 (ports 0 - 4 >> 5 ports).
And where are the connectors for Port 3 and/or Port 4?
Anybody knows?
I occupied each available port with either a USB- , eSATA or 1394- device, I can access them all and still port 4 remains empty and port 3 remains to not show up at all.
I puzzled and hope someone can shed light on this.
