The 212 may or may not work with your VIA SATA Controller. Install the latest Hyperion Pro driver package from www.viaarena.com .
A semi off topic suggestion, try to refrain from using VIA based motherboards. They are absolutely the worst when it comes to stability and driver bugs. As an IT Manager with a 15 years experience, I tested all chipset manufacturers throughout the years. VIA are the cheapest for a good reason…
Either go for a basic nvidia chipset (the high end chipsets are quite costly) for AMD or Intel CPUs, or an a basic Intel chipset for an Intel CPU. Those may cost a little more than a VIA based solution, but the peace of mind is sure worth it. The motherboard is the main component of the computer, and effects everything.
