Gigabyte P35T DS3P does not recognize Sata III.

It may be a silly suggestion but have you tried putting the controller in SATA or AHCI mode in the bios? Since you have updated the bios, check all this;

-Do a Clear CMOS on the motherboard by removing the battery (Or by pressing the button, or by setting the jumper, see motherboard manual). The bios will be set to default values, you will have to configure it again.

-Check the power cable.

-Try connecting the drive to the external controller port on the motherboard, they are usually a different color or the last ones. Then remember to enable the controller in the bios.

well it's strange, it should work without problems
yesterday I put a 1T WD caviar blue sata 3 in my computer (the one from my company)
and it works without problems.
try with another cable or change the disk in case it's bad, because it should work

Hello.
The Sata in the bios is in Legacy mode and of the three modes it has (Sata, Raid, Ahci), I have it set to Sata.
Before updating I tried it with all three modes.
I will try again and do a reset to the bios. Now I will tell you.

Thanks to both of you for the comments.

Regards.

Hello again.

I have already reset the Bios (CMOS Clear jumper).
I have tried with IDE, Raid, AHCI and nothing. With the HDD jumper 5-6 and nothing. With the cables from the old hard drive. With all the power cables, etc...
I don't know what else to do. I'll leave you some screenshots to see.

In the 2nd image you can see how it recognizes the DVD burner that I had connected and the WD HDD, which appears blank.
It is strange that in two modern Gigabyte motherboards, this happens with the Sata III drives. I just have to plug it into a new computer with Sata III. If it works, I could already buy a PCI controller.

In the bios, take the opportunity to disable everything you don't use (If you have it, don't touch it);

In Standard CMOS Features;

-Floppy A >Disabled (Floppy disk drive)

In Integrated Peripherals;

-Onboard H/W 1394 >Disabled (Firewire port)
-Onboard Serial Port 1>Disabled (Old controller connector, industrial uses)
-Onboard Parallel Port>Disabled (Old printer connector, current ones are USB)

In this bios I am not clear which is the Intel chipset SATA and the additional one, which is used to add additional SATA ports, usually 2. It will always work better the Intel one, so if you only use one or two disks you will use the Intel one and disable the other. Try this configuration;

Integrated Periphericals:

-SATA RAID/AHCI Mode> AHCI (Intel controller)
-SATA Port0-3 Native Mode> Enable (Exclusive to Gigabyte motherboards, it seems that in XP systems or older it must be in Disabled to emulate IDE mode, in windows Vista or 7 it is indifferent)
-Onboard SATA/IDE Device >Disable (additional controller)
-Onboard SATA/IDE Ctrl Mode >SATA (It will probably be canceled when you disconnect the controller, but if not, put it in SATA)

And finally I would go to the WD website to download the testing utilities and installation of their disks. Normally you burn a CD or USB in bootable mode with this utility and start the computer from this drive. Follow the instructions on the website.

Edited; Thanks for the notice about the signature.

Hello.

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner, Raesan. Thanks for your time, I really appreciate it.
I have already disabled the Floppy, Firewire, Serial, Parallel, etc…
I have tried as you indicated, but only without the jumper on the HDD to limit it. It remains the same with all the options you mentioned.
If I select Onboard SATA/IDE Device as disable, the board does not recognize anything, that is, the device does not appear in white, like in the screenshot I showed you before.
When Onboard SATA/IDE Device is in enable, it does indeed show double the number of SATA ports. The odd thing is that it shows channel 0 Master and Slave, channel 1 Master and Slave, but in channel 2 only Master appears and there is no Slave and the same in channel 3.

I am going to try the WD utility, which is the only thing left I can try. I will post the result now.

Best regards!!.

Now it seems like I've really messed it up. The motherboard doesn't recognize anything, the HDD motor doesn't start or anything.
Diagnosis: Broken. Am I wrong??. I hope not, but it seems like I'll have to visit the store…

Greetings!!.

The only thing I've done is shut down the PC from the power button. I tried to start it with the power button and it wouldn't start. I turned it off and on from the power supply button and it still wouldn't start. I turned it off from the UPS and then it started, but the HDD didn't. I'm going to reset the BIOS.

reset the bios

I have already reset the bios and nothing. It just turns on the motor and you can't hear the needles move like before. Also, the recorder doesn't work now either. Was it a short circuit? Does it only affect SATA devices? The computer was lying on the floor. I don't know if it will affect it.
I'll take the recorder to work to test it tomorrow. X-Files

Hello everyone.

Sorry for the delay in responding.

Alright. I have tested the recorder at a friend's house and it works fine. My computer still does not recognize it and the other WD HDD. So far, I have only reset the Bios from the jumper, but now I will remove the battery for 10 seconds to see if things change.
I have read that it may be a problem with the power supply as well. I have a thermaltake 680W and I have never had problems of this type with the previous motherboard that powered it.

Regards.

EDIT: The recorder now works on my computer. Something is something.
