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.

  • How to enable the AHCI for SSD on M6-1010TX laptop computer HP

    HELO

    Have tried to install an EVO of 840 Samsung 240 GB SSD on my laptop of M6-1010TX with WIN7x64 i5/4 GB and running.

    The SSD seems to work OK, but I when I run Samsung magician this is a warning that it must be set to AHCI.

    Also, most of the menu items are grayed out and unavailable in Wizard, so I can't see or adjust all parameters. I don't even know if the TRIM work.

    There is no possibility of setting to AHCI in the BIOS. (In fact there is no provision for seting pretty much anything in the BIOS)

    I've seen a remedy to a similar problem on this forum under 'How to enable AHCI for HP ENVY TouchSmart m6-k015dx Sleekbook' which offers to upgrade to the latest version of Intel RST, which is supposed to give favor SSD attitude to go with the 7 series Intel chipset.

    I already have the updated HP version of installed RST (2012-05-04 11.1.0.1006), but the Intel site has versions up to 13.1.0.1058 in date 27-05-2014.

    Anyone know if these later versions of Intel are safe to install?

    PS - I 840 Samsung SSD EVO running on 2 HP ProBooks's a little older, and they run like lightning.

    A simple setting in the BIOS to enable the AHCI is available on these. Why not in the new M6?

    Thank you

    OK Hüffer---> we have a update

    I had the opportunity to re - install the SSD drive this morning.

    It seems that you were mostly correct, but there is also a bit of a conflict between the Samsung software and HP hardware.

    When I re-installed this time I connected the SSD in USB BEFORE installing the software (Samsung instructions say to connect AFTER insalling software). This has resulted in much better recognition of the SSD and all the options are now available in Sasung magician.

    EXCEPT - 1. He always warns AHCI mode being "Deactivated (IDE or RAID).

    2. it does not recognize the SATA 3 Interface

    HOWEVER - it seems to work quite fantasmagorically FAAAAAAST

    Samsung Benchmark gives random read/write speeds about 30% above their maximum rate quotes

    These reference speeds are about double what I get from the above, 2 HP ProBooks who have SATA 2 interfaces, so it seems that the SATA3 interface actually works correctly.

    I am now very happy with this performance (but I wish that AHCI warnings were not there)

    So the secret seems to be to connect the SSD drive first and do believe not all alerts when the evidence says it actually works OK.

    Thank you once again to Hüffer,

  • How to enable the AHCI in HP pavilion dv6700t?

    Hello

    I was wondering if it was possible to enable the AHCI on my pavilion dv6700t.  Chipset intel is a much older model, P965 of 2008 but still works fine.

    In Manager devices, under IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers, he says that the ich8m-e/m sata AHCI is enabled.  It is reasonable to assume that AHCI is therefore already activated? I have no way to do it via the BIOS, which limited configuration options. It's the PhoenixBIOS l58.

    I am considering installing a SSD as my boot (and only) and I read that the AHCI is important for functions such as the NCQ, etc..

    Thanks for your wisdom!

    Jason

    Hi, Jason:

    Yes, that's correct.

    AHCI is enabled by default.

    This is why everyone struggled to install XP on laptops. AHCI drivers must be loaded before installing XP at the prompt F6 or slipstreamed into a copy of the XP Setup disk.

    Now... you can do whatever you want, but I don't know of anyone on this forum who has installed an SSD in any model dv6000/dv9000 Series notebook.

    If you know it's possible, thanks for posting back after installing a SSD and let us know how you did.

    To my knowledge, the Satellite P300 series BIOS doesn t contain the ability to switch the AHCI compatible mode.

    I don t think that even after updating the BIOS such option would be available in the BIOS.

    I see on the first screenshot of the BIOS, the SSD drive is connected to the second controller.
    I recommend you connect the SSD to the first controller (instead of the HARD disk).
    Maybe then you could get better performance.

    Just for the note: portable computers with a graphics card ATI supports the AMD chipset, and in this case the ATI graphics card driver contains the SATA driver files.

    However, I guess the HARD disk controller specification allows the use of better performance of SSD drive.

    Sorry, but you cannot use an internal hard drive for ReadyBoost. Indeed, an SSD can not use ReadyBoost.
