2023年2月10日 · Compare AHCI, IDE & RAID differ, and discover which is the best option for your organization’s storge needs.

To actually use AHCI, the OS (whether that's Windows, Linux or even Ghost) has to have an AHCI driver. Windows Vista and 7 include the driver, but don't install it if the boot drive's controller doesn't have AHCI enabled. Similarly, the IDE driver doesn't get installed if …

2015年9月12日 · Hi, My bios was set to IDE mode for my SSD when I installed windows 10. Now I want to switch it to AHCI but when I do that in the bios, windows 10 doesn't boot. I know there is some registry fix for windows 7 and 8 but how about windows 10?

2022年2月14日 · There is absolutely NO difference in speed between IDE and AHCI mode. And, you cannot change the BIOS between modes without a complete wipe/reformat of the drive. Your problems stem from using a spinning drive, which is many times slower than an SSD of equivalent size (especially at 5400 RPM).

2013年4月7日 · Alright, I've got quite a problem. I'm trying to make Windows XP run in AHCI mode, as it is currently in IDE mode. I would have installed it with AHCI enabled in the bios, but nLite just didn't work. I got a whole host of problems from my computer refusing to boot from the USB drive I "mod'd"...

Therefor I would test with both AHCI enabled and with AHCI disabled. Note that if you run Windows 7 (or Linux or BSD), then you can change betyween AHCI and IDE-compatible mode without reinstalling.

Changing from IDE to AHCi would have rendered your current Windows unbootable so I suspect you have a secondary (non-Intel) controller on that board to which you've attached your drives. Possibly Marvell which was common in those years.

2016年12月19日 · AHCI vs IDE is a BIOS setting, so I don't think you can run the boot drive in IDE mode while the second drive is in AHCI mode. They both have to be AHCI or both IDE. It is well worth doing the registry fix so you can run both SSDs in AHCI mode. AHCI enables NCQ - native command queuing. This allows the computer to send multiple requests to the SSD simultaneously, and the SSD completes them as ...

2022年3月20日 · Heard that ssd needs AHCI to run at full whack, so into the bios I went (non-UEFI btw, just the good ol' legacy) and switched everything that can be switched to AHCI as such (SATA configuration and Marvell SATA 6G controller mode).

2017年1月12日 · I just installed a new copy of Windows 10 on my new SSD and just Killdisk (wiped) my previous HHD to use as secondary HDD and storage. My question: Is it important to change my SSD from IDE to AHCI mode in the BIOS? I haven't got to far with reinstalling programs and configuring my PC after the...
