Activate the AHCI for Samsung SSD on Pavilion DV9910us

Updated DV9910us for Win7 64 bit, 4 GB RAM, installed Bios version F34, 830 SSD from Samsung.

It is a processor AMD Turion TL-60.

Samsung software magician said that AHCI is not enabled.  Device Manager shows no AHCI hardware or drivers installed.

I understand that a system with Intel would not have this problem, but is there a solution for this? My random reads are abiysmal (6008 IOPS / s).

Hello, @KipIsbell

Welcome to the HP Forums.

Unfortunately, what you're trying to do is not an available option in this notebook. Generally, you would change setting from the BIOS so it was an available setting.

If you have not updated your BIOS, you can try this but no guarantee that it will have this feature.

Sorry for the inconvenience that this may cause.
Thanks for posting on the HP Forums.

  • HP envy 14-2090eo: activate the ahci with new ssd on hp envy 14-2090eo

    Hi Hp experts...

    I just ordered a Samsung 850 evo 500 GB ssd, replace the drive hard seagate 750 GB original in my HP Envy 14-2090eo. I then took a peek in the Device Manager and found that when I click the menu ATA/ATAPI IDE controller, it shows a new field saying: Intel(r) Mobile Express Chipset SATA AHCI Controller. Does this mean that AHCI is enabled automatically when I install the Samsung 850 evo 500 GB ssd? Its because I don't have any options the normally settings in the BIOS to change to AHCI mode and then he hit me maybe its on automatically, or what I have to do to switch to AHCI mode, which I have heard is the best setting when installing SSD´s...

    Best regards to all

    Yes, he does.  AHCI is enabled and cannot be changed.

  • HP Envy 1540T H8: How can I activate the AHCI?

    I installed a new Pro 850 Samsung 1 TB SSD drive which replaced a Samsung 256 GB SSD.  However, I am unable to get the computer to start with I select AHCI mode in the BIOS of the reader.   I can only boot into RAID mode and magician then tells me to activate the AHCI for optimal performance.

    The following system information is provided:

    OS: Windows 8.1 64bits

    Chipset: Intel (R) C600/X 79 series chipset controller LPC - 1 41

    Storage controllers: Intel (r) Desktop/Workstation/Server Express Chipset SATA RAID Controller 12.8.2.1000

    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed?  Thanks in advance for your help.

    Mr President.

    Thank you very much!.  I tried to solve this problem for days.  I had already installed a new copy of Windows 8.1, so I've been worreid I need to start over, but I do not have.  All I had to do was follow you to start in safe mode.   I then rebooted in UEFI, changed the RAID on AHCI and disabled Secure Boot.  The system then finished the re-boot and is in AHCI mode.  I have not lost all data on my three internal drives (1 SSD and 2 hard drives).  For some reason, he did reformat a NAS attached, but I don't have something out there that was not saved.

    I really apprecitae your help!

    All the best,

  • G9 - 791 tried to activate the AHCI in the BIOS, killed for laptop

    Since I've upgraded to a SSD, I tried to activate the AHCI in the BIOS mode, just like I did with my Alienware laptop.  After changing the setting and restart, I was unable to boot the system (it's ok), but also unable to get into the BIOS to change it back to the RAID.

    Which led me to return the laptop to the place where I bought it and get a new, still under warranty.  Is there a reason any BIOS gets damaged when you change this setting?  I'd like to use the AHCI mode instead, but I can't afford another laptop brick.

    I got it! I actually downloaded and installed the most recent Intel (14.8.XXX), and then changed RST 4 setting in my registry to reflect the changes of the AHCI. Restarted without enabling AHCI in the BIOS, to make the site everything was still good. Perfect. Return restarted to the BIOS and activated ONLY AHCI. Does not all other parameters. Rebooted (twice), and everything works!

  • How to enable the AHCI for HP ENVY TouchSmart m6-k015dx Sleekbook

    Hello

    I upgraded my hard drive to an SSD and it's done. Laptop works very well.  The Samsung SSD software installed and it says that I need to enable AHCI to get the SSD running at full capacity.

    I searched the BIOS and don't see anywhere to change that.  I then went to the Device Manager in Windows 8.1and I don't see any ATA/SATA controller.  All I see is a RAID controller. RAID controller in a laptop?

    Can someone tell me how to activate the AHCI?

    Thank you.

    Hello:

    Because your laptop is a portable consumer there is no way to change the BIOS to AHCI setting.

    The BIOS is set by default for RAID on your model series because some models come with one of these drives covering with a SSD and for a technical reason, that those who must be configured in RAID 0 mode so that Setup work right.

    It is my understanding that if you install the latest driver Intel RST, which is supposed to support TRIM SSD starting with the Intel 7 series chipset, and yours has series 8, so he must have full support for one SSD usage even in RAID mode.

    If your bios allows, you can find passage to the raid (even if you have only a single boot drive) can put you in ahci mode. Before making the change in the bios, you will have to do some registry tweaks like just change the bios setting you will get a bsod when you start.

    To enable switching between RAID/AHCI/IDE mode, you will need to change the values 'Start' in these key 0

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Msahci\Start

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Pciide\Start

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\iaStorV\Start

    Once you make these changes, restart and set AHCI/raid in BIOS, save the changes and then restart.

  • ZBook 15u G2: is it possible to upgrade the G2 Zbook 15u from the 500 GB Samsung SSD 850 evo 500 GB SATA HARD disk?

    Turns out that the hard drive that I got this laptop when I bought it is not really meet my needs, and I'm looking to upgrade. I looked around, and the EVO of 850 SSD Samsung 500 GB seems a good choice for what I'm looking for.

    I just wanted to check if my cell phone is compatible with this ssd. My initial assumption is 'yes' but before I drop money I wanted to confirm this. For reference, I went to the start with the 500 GB SATA hard drive, and I'm looking to upgrade the 500 GB Samsung ssd 850 evo.

    I can provide the SN of my laptop for reference, if needed.

    Hello

    The simple answer is Yes you can. You can use a standard SSD 2.5 "to replace the current HARD drive. And the Samsung is a good choice.

  • G62 b31ee I need to activate the ahci on my laptop please help

    Essentially I would like someone to change (or teach me how to change) my BIOS so that I can activate the hidden options and so tell - activate the AHCI.

    Hello:

    There is no way to do what you want.

    AHCI is enabled by default, and there is absolutely no way to change this.

    If you want to install Windows XP, then you should read the guide at the link below, read the Intel section and then read the downloadable document to integrate all drivers.

  • Satellite P100: How to activate the AHCI mode?

    As all you know, some laptops P100 series are equipped with a controller Intel 82801GBM SATA natively supports the AHCI and with a Fujitsu HDD which takes in charge the NCQ.

    However, the disc is forced in compatibility mode, and therefore the NCQ is disabled, resulting in a loss of performance (which is certainly necessary that laptop hard drives are generally slower than those of office).

    Unfortunately, there is no option in the BIOS which activates the AHCI mode and no tool like HWUtility that can twist that (although it wouldn't work). As far as I know, newer laptops support AHCI mode and there is also an option in the BIOS to enable it.

    Is it possible to activate the AHCI mode in our laptops beloved and make the most of our hard drives?

    Hello

    Do you think that the AHCI is disabled?
    You can run the Intel Chipset ID utility to determine if the ICH7DH SATA controller is already running in AHCI or not.

    However, I studied a little more on other forums that are a little more specific and find this:
