AHCI

I have a new Dell Vostro 260.  I just installed a 128 GB SSD and wanted to switch to AHCI before migrating my OS Win 7 Pro to it.  I could not find any option in my BIOS for this.  How can I set up my new drive on AHCI?

Hello

It would be best to contact Dell technical support to find out how to change to AHCI in the BIOS.

    Hello

    I recently updated my old 3.1 latest 5.1. I also bought a m2 lycom til pciE card and a Samsung SM951 ssd. HOWEVER, I am not able to see the ssd in the finder or disk utility. I bought the NVME version. I think maybe I should have ordered the AHCI version.

  • Cannot set in AHCI mode for disc SSD NB300

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba NB300 netbook, running Windows 8 Pro 32 bit, very happy with it!
    I have a Corsair 3 112 GB Force SSD drive is installed, and everything seems to work fine!

    Read on the SSDS, I see that a better performance for executing the SSD in AHCI mode.
    So I went to menu configuration of startup and changed compatibility in AHCI mode.
    I actually tried a few times, always with the same result, failure!

    When the system is trying to start I get a message saying that there was a problem and that
    the system is trying to gather information.

    The only solution is to go back in the program installation and handed to the compatibility mode.

    The BIOS is up to date, and I just don't see any way to solve the problem.
    I really want to get best performance with this net book as possible.
    I have a screenshot of the details of Speccy SSD drive, but I don't see a way of fixing?

    If anyone can advise me on how to get mounted AHCI mode and go that I would be really grateful!

    Thank you

    Unfortunately on this forum we don t have reports on the use of the DSS on NBs I have NB520 and I would use the SSD for, but so far I didn't find the right.

    As far as I know by default BIOS is set to AHCI mode. What operating system you have installed? The original that you got with your laptop or your own version? Have you installed the s Intel Storage Manager of the Toshiba download page?

    I have to update the BIOS? Where can I get the update and how can I update?

    As I know the BIOS update does not offer some additional options. Please check the settings of the BIOS again. In the BIOS options there SATA advanced option and there you can change between compatibility and AHCI mode.

  • Qosmio G50 change IDE to AHCI controller

    Hello
    I recently bought an SSD
    and the wand to increase its performance and the Firmware upgrade by changing the IDE SATA AHCI controller
    How can I change from AHCI? through the BIOS, I don't see any indication in the BIOS
    I read all disks to increase performance by changing the IDE SATA AHCI controller

    > wand to increase its performance and the Firmware upgrade by changing the IDE SATA AHCI controller
    May I ask if you are sure that something like this exists? I've never heard any update firmware for the IDE controller.

    Of course, you can update the BIOS and can install the SATA drivers that control the HARD disk controller, but you won't find any update of the firmware.

    > I read all disks to increase performance by changing the IDE SATA AHCI controller
    I know such option is available, not for all laptops and it is available only with the Phoenix BIOS.
    The G50 supports Toshiba BIOS and the HARD drive controller is always to SATA (AHCI).
    This means that you can not change it to IDE, and so the performance can be reduced or increased.

    In order to install a new OS, you must eat of storage which includes SATA drivers.

  • Can Equium L40 - I change hard drive SATA to AHCI Mode?

    Hello

    Anyone know if it is possible to change the hard drive to SATA AHCI (or same IDE) mode in the BIOS?

    I see the hard drive in the BIOS but I can't select to make changes as long as it is "gray".

    I installed the latest version of the BIOS, but that made no difference.
    Thank you very much.

    I put t have this model of laptop, but usually the controller SATA in BIOS mode options are AHCI or compatibility.
    I presume that it is set to AHCI.

    Your laptop's SATA HDD so I put t understand why you want to change anything. Using the AHCI mode HARD drive can operate at full speed.

    Hello.

    XP and Seven is installed in dual-boot on my laptop and I use EasyBCD to choose which system I want to start.

    To start XP, I need to enable "Compatibility" (Controller SATA in BIOS mode) and seven is "AHCI" must be activated.

    Is there a way for my two OS was started without making changes in the bios?
    Y at - it an update to correct this problem (or alternative)?

    Thank you in advance.

    Yes you can do it but I'm afraid, you must reinstall Windows XP Home edition m.
    Why? Because before beginning to install Windows XP Home edition, you must change it to AHCI mode, launch the installation of Windows XP Home edition and before you start you need to load the SATA driver (via F6 I think).

    Long time ago, we have discussed a lot about this on this forum then use the advanced search anc check options other postings on this subject.

    Could someone, please, tell me, why there is no driver SATA AHCI controller for Compaq 610 for Win 7 PRO SP1 RUS x 64 in the download section of HP support for Compaq 610?

    (02) the original Intel (r) Matrix Storage Manager V8.9.0. 1023 will replace the ' Standart controller SATA AHCI 1.0 (Microsoft) "(v. 21.06.2006 6.1.7601.18231) with the more recent/latest version?

    (03) will be the upgrade of the SATA AHCI driver improve the speed of read/write of my any percentage HARD drives or this idea is nonsense and absolutely useless?

    I'll be very grateful for any useful info! Respectfully, Tianuchka))

    Regarding the 3rd, I don't know whether or not you notice an improvement.

    If you want to update the driver, you can also install the last utility Intel chipset installation from the link below.

    Download, unzip and run the setup.exe file.  Then restart the PC.
