hi my sata drive shows up in bios as a smart event! this is suppose to be a sata strip member but says smart event but the other drive says member disk. Im not sure if its a error or not but i know that windows does not pick up the drive to put a o/s on it.

S.M.A.R.T. = Acronym for Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology, an open standard for developing disk drives and software systems that automatically monitor a disk drive's health and report potential problems. Ideally, this should allow you to take proactive actions to prevent impending disk crashes.
