• Windows 7 64 bit and AHCI support on DC7800 convertible minitour?

  Hi guys.

  I have an old HP DC7800 (it actually says DC7900 on the box, but several said firmwares is a dc7800 for some odd reason...) minitour convertible that I use at home, running Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit.

  I put an SSD in this PC and when I went into the BIOS to find AHCI settings it shows only RAID and IDE.

  Now, I read about it in this forum and this guy is that he works with Intel Matrix Storage Manager (RAID drivers), but it was Windows Vista. However, I am on Windows 7.

  What I can find there are simply no drivers for this on Windows 7.

  Anyone have experience with this?

  Would be sweet to get this working...

  Thank you in advance.

  You are the very welcome.

  I did some basic research on SSDS and disk controller settings.

  I installed my first (and only) SSD in a HP Elitebook 6930p who owns the AHCI mode.

  I played with the idea of putting one in my dc7800 as you did and of course I would have had my speed on the RAID controller, but I found some interesting links I posted for your reading pleasure.

  Since you don't have the choice to choose AHCI, you would probably be OK in IDE mode if you find absolutely change the controller and reinstall the OS a real pain.

  Do some research on Google more.  There is a pretty good amount of links out there on this.

  For me, it would be more important to have a mechanical drive, set the RAID SSD RAID that supports native command queuing too, as far as I know.

  An SSD does not turn to find the data as a mechanical drive only.

  Here is an interesting link on the NCQ.

  And here are the articles on the differences between the controller disc in general settings.

• Z420 - RAID + AHCI problem

  Hello

  using z420, Firmware is up to date, Windows 8 - with the latest drivers from HP Homepage.

  Storage mode is set to RAID + AHCI.

  Samsung 840 PRO SSD attached to the SATA Port 0 (AHCI 6 GB/s)

  2 x Samsung Barracuda attached to 3 + 4 Port SATA (AHCI / 3 GB/s) running RAID 1

  The problem is that my SSD is NOT detected in Mode AHCI (detected as IDE) - and hence the Performance struggles.

  When I detach the 2 Barracuda and change the storage Mode in the BIOS to AHCI only (without RAID) and restart Windows (driver AHCI enabled in the registry) the SSD is correctly detected as AHCI and offers a desired speed.

  Back to the RAID + AHCI the SSD is again detected in IDE mode.

  Is there a problem with RAID + AHCI Mode that the SSD is detected as NO AHCI?

  Hope someone can help me with that.

  Thank you

  Andreas Schnederle-Wagner

  well - I was able to solve the performance problem now!

  I replaced the rest of iaStorA.sys with the iaStorA.sys RST version - and now the system SSD full speed...

  I have attached 2 Screenshots - "before.jpg" watch my setup with performance problems. "after.jpg" my current setup with maximum performance!

  Only problem left is the name of the SSD paralyzed device - but I hope that it is not a problem...? ! ?

• This laptop have AHCI support?

  Hi, I was looking for a laptop with good battery backup.

  Found this

  A user commented that he was not able to switch to some as 'Samsung 750 Evo and Evo SSD 850' SSD models, the installation of windows has not been a success.

  Q. can I switch to a SSD in this laptop?

  Q. have AHCI support?

  Q. can I switch to 8 GB of RAM?

  Q. it heat up? or the fan still works?

  In order, Yes, Yes, no (max 4G) and most probably, the fan will work if necessary - not all the time.

  Your questions indicate that you're looking for a high-end model that this one - it is a system very low end.  He's NOT going to serve your needs if you really need the 8 G of RAM ask you.  Looking for a high-end system.

• Mini210-1000 HP: HP Mini 210-1000 AHCI Support?

  Title says it all, to a degree...

  Nothing anywhere in the BIOS that indicates this thing supports AHCI, I so wanted to just take your brain...

  If I install an SSD to replace the disk HARD in it now, will it work? Will I have AHCI/TRIM support?

  Any contribution is appreciated. Thank you!

  What HP model year cell phone is yours?   What is the model number on the black serial number on the bottom?

  The one I have is quite old. I just checked and it's a HP mini 1000.

  @ChorusOfOne

  Do not leave immediately.

  I just watched a little more features. The manual may very well be wrong.

  The most recent mini 210-1000 with product number WA543UA #ABA ad product name HP Mini 210-1010NR has a disk hard Serial ATA II (SATA).  If it is indeed this than yours, it means that a SATA SSD would fit well and work.

  See the first part of the next video. Of course, it looks like a SATA hard drive for me. Check out the connector.

• HPM9265: HPM9265 AHCI support for SSD

  Y at - it a reliable update for the 'Intel Matrix Storage manager Option ROM v 7.6.6.1002 ICH9R' which will allow my SSD running with AHCI?

  You are the very welcome.

  Trim is not supported in your PC, as it is.

  Unfortunately, I do not know what the consequences are for not having not TRIM support.

  I cannot say if adding a third party sata controller would be better than what you have now.

  There are several different cards to choose from, but which is the right one for the scenario that you are?

  I have seen that some say 'support for SSD.

  Who didn't tell me much.

  Some people say that the PCIe x 1 slot slows down the drive.  Others say it's faster.

• Alienware 17 - R3, RAID/AHCI

  Hello

  I noticed in the bios that the original for two HARD drives I have is set to RAID.

  PM951 NVME & Seagate HARD drive

  I'm a little confused, cause I thought that this laptop doesn't have any RAID function, and if she did, why are two hard drives so inconsistent and configured in RAID? If anyone has any information on this, please share, thanks!

  The operating mode default SATA for any type of disk configuration is called "RAID", but this does not automatically mean that your hard disks are in fact in a RAID situation, because it might suggest - it only means that the storage is controlled by "Intel Rapid Storage Technology" (TSRI).

  You can check the status of your two drives by clicking on "Intel Rapid Storage Technology" at the bottom of the section "Advanced", which will bring you to a screen where they are listed as "NO physical disks RAID". Here you can select one of them to see more details like the Port, model and serial number, size, status (RAID or NON-RAID) controller (AHCI or NVMe) Type and Controller Interface (SATA or PCIe).

  Since the FIRST includes AHCI drivers both NVMe, you won't have to set up or install drivers specific for disks, regardless of your hardware configuration, now or in the future, as long as you keep the default "RAID" value setting.

• RAID 1 support on Dell PowerEdge R730 with SSD and Perc H730 discs

  What are the risks?
  Suggestions for others / the best solutions?
  How the controller or the handle of the Garbage collection, Trim and other techniques SSD SSD?
  Are there solutions in place for Wear leveling and how do they work?
  What are the methods of protection for the I/O failures for these SSD drives and / or PERC controllers?

  Hello Arjan

  Yes, you can use SSDS in RAID 1.

  The controller supports the TRIM and cancel orders mapping. SSD MLC are grade consumer SSD which will not have the life expectancy of SLC.

• "Setup cannot find not all hard disks" on Dell PERC 6/1 RAID controller-supported?

  Hi team - I have a Dell R710 (physical host) PE server that uses the Dell PERC RAID controller 6/1.  Windows Server 2008 x 64 is the host operating system.  VMW Server 2.02 installs and works very well, and I need to install W2K8 x 32 (guest) server configuration, but windows can't see the virtual disk with the same error "Setup cannot find not all hard disks", you get the installation on Windows XP Home edition- but the documentation does not say it's controller RAID is not taken in charge should be... any ideas?

  This is not a problem of the underlying RAID/hardware controller.

  Virtual MACHINE on VMware Server just to see the virtual hardware that you have configured when creating the virtual machine, or through the settings.

  Be sure to select the correct target OS when you create a virtual machine. This configures the disk controller HARD virtual appropriate, which should be supported on the OS installation media.

  If you have selected the right OS and still have problems, please post the vmx file.

• New laptop... No support of the AHCI. Why?

  Hello.  I recently bought a HP ENVY dv6t-7300 Quad Edition.  It has an Intel i7 processor.

  From what I see in Device Manager, the command is set to RAID.  There is no option in bios to change to AHCI.  My Samsung magician software tells me that he that AHCI is not enabled and does not recognize the SATA controller.  The SSD drive works fine however.

  So, I wonder why HP would not offer this (the AHCI Support) on this new cell phone fully charged?

  So, here are my questions:

  Since I don't have AHCI support to take advantage of the increase in speed, is it still useful to keep this player?  Should I go back on the 1 TB hard drive that came with my laptop?

  The SSD I have is Samsung Electronics 840 Pro Series 2.5 inch 256 GB SATA 6 GB/s Solid State Drive MZ-7PD256BW.

  Thanks for any help or suggestions that you have to offer.

  Hello:

  The notebooks are configured this way because the models that come with these hybrid drives.

  The drive should be configured in RAID mode for the system of hybrid drive for optimal operation.

  Starting with the Intel 7 series chipset that has your model, there is full support SSD if you download and install the Intel RST drvier and the software on the page of the driver and support for your laptop.

  See the discussion of this issue at the link below.

  You can see this forum member SSD works in ahci mode.

• Changing to AHCI RAID

  Hello

  my Dell E6510 I have my hard drive put in RAID mode. I have problems using the eSata port, so I want to switch to AHCI. I followed the instructions here:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922976. However, when I start my system after setting the drive in AHCI mode in the BIOS, I see the logo of Windows (with Win7 x 64) and a few seconds later, I get a blue screen with a message that I can not read because the system is restarted. Put back the BIOS on RAID brings the system again...

  Anything I can do to work AHCI?

  Thank you

  Thomas Pagel

  Hi Thomas,

  Thank you for your message.

  I think I have the solution to your problem and I checked it against a machine Dell which is equipped with a similar controller with your machine. Changing to AHCI, RAID,http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922976 fix will work.

  Changing to AHCI RAID, you need a little more. Msahci driver requires Atapi.sys miniport driver to load during startup as well. If you must change the value ofStart at 0 for the following two entries in your registry. You can use regedit.exe utility.

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetServicesMsahci\\\
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\atapi

  Or alternatively, you can run the command lines below in a high window.

  REG ADD HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\msahci /v start d 0 /f /t REG_DWORD
  REG ADD HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\atapi /v start d 0 /f /t REG_DWORD

• HP Elite Book 840 g1: change the RAID on AHCI on Elitebook 840 g 1

  I have an Elite book 840 g1. I'm changing to AHCI RAID and cannot get it done. I tried everything on the web regarding the registry settings and changes to the bios. Nothing has worked. Any suggestions?

  Solution to change RAID AHCI on an HP EliteBook 840g 1

  My EliteBook 840 g 1 does not have a CD/DVD drive, so I put my software available on a USB stick and this worked great.

  1. back up your PC or important documents.

  2 put the software available on CD/DVD or USB depending on one you plan to use.

  3. close all programs and restart your PC.

  -C' is where it gets difficult.

  4. enter in the Bios by pressing the ESC key

  5. make sure you change your boot order / put USB or CD/DVD first in order - depending on what you are going to use

  6. once in the BIOS go to the 'Advanced tab' and then 'Device Configurations '.

  7. go to RAID/AHCI and switch to AHCI

  8 save the settings and exit.

  -C' is where it gets trickier.

  9. THIS CRITICISM IS - after save and exit the BIOS of the PC will start start - don't let it throw - back in the BIOS before it starts

  10. once in the BIOS, go to the boot options and select the option that you put your software available.

  11. now booting from USB or CD/DVD, you have your software available on

  12. your PC will now go through the re-imaging process and when it's done, you'll be in AHCI.

  13. you can check by going to "Device Manager" > double-click on ' controllers IDE ATA/ATAPI "and below you see"Intel 8 Series Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller '.

  14. He verifies that you are in AHCI

  15 take advantage of the improved performance

  The extent of the change RAID on AHCI by using registry settings I couldn't get it work. I changed the starting value of several channels (msahci, istorA, istorV, etc.) and couldn't make the change happen. From my experience, I had to reimage my PC for that change to AHCI RAID. If someone has a proven solution, changing to AHCI RAID in registry settings without having to do a reimage would be what they please report them.  Thank you and I hope that all this information is useful.

• Inspiron 620 SSD upgrade is no longer support AHCI with Windows 10

  Hi all

  I had installed a Crucial SSD of CT256MX100 when you use Windows 7 without properly checking the parameters of AHCI and TRIM. This seemed to be working very well and providing very high throughput, however, upgrade to Windows 10 (from one day to the next... :/) there was a significant slowdown (20 second power to 4 minutes). After having looked around for a way to remedy this, I was unable to find the option AHCI in the BIOS for my Inspiron 620. It says in the manual of the system it is an option, an idea on how to activate it? Reinstall the OS?

  To all those who can offer constructive help, thanks in advance!

  I think you'll find these (which were the first latitude to support SATA) used a SATA to PATA Bridge chip - the controller is actually PATA, using a bridge to the SATA drive.  There is therefore, no AHCI option on them.

  The Dx30 models were the first with native SATA (and AHCI) support.
