AHCI mode

[Archfear]

---

Hello mga PC GURUs here...

I was trying to have my HDD run on AHCI mode.. I also downloaded drivers.. but everytime I tried to install it... mo prompt man dayon nga need daw ug catalyst e-install which I already had kay ATI baya akong card and I always have the latest one... Mao to didto ra sya kutob.. di jud ko ka run ug AHCI mode sa HDD... dili mo boot akong PC if akong e try ug AHCI mode.. Ako pud gi try ug AHCI mode daan before installing sa OS pero di gihapon mo boot.. Native IDE ra jud siya.. wa jud ko ani... wew... I googled for answers a lot of times before pero mao raman gihapon.. wa may klaro... I hope there's someone here who tried the actual AHCI mode..

By the way mao ni akong board ug HDD:

ASRock 990FX Extreme 4
WD 500gb Caviar Blue SATA III 6Gb/s

Basin dili supported sa akong components bah.. if so, is there somewhere to go around it?

I was also thinking if naa bay speed improvement pud if Im running on AHCI mode than on Native IDE...? Is there a difference? Kay murag gisayangan ko sa akong SATA 3 nga HDD nga parihas rag speed sa akong SATA II HDDs inig Windows Experience Index nako..

Thanks daan!! ^_^

Try daw ni bro: Error message when you start a Windows 7 or Windows Vista-based computer after you change the SATA mode of the boot drive: "STOP 0x0000007B INACCESSABLE_BOOT_DEVICE" and AHCI vs IDE

Depende na sa imong controller pud boss if supported cya and drivers pud.

any spindle-based HDD will always get a 5.9 WEI bisan unsa pa nga config...

SATA2 and SATA3 = no difference if you are using a mechanical hard drive.

SATA1 = 1.5Gps (187MB/s)
SATA2 = 3Gbps (375MB/s)
SATA3 = 6Gps (750MB/s)

Average 7200RPM hard drives can only do read/write 70-150MB/s. So even if you have the old SATA1, your drive can still work to its maximum transfer rate.

SATA2 and SATA3 upgrades works well with SSD drives. Average of 180-500MB/s.

pakapin: If anybody here naka gamit ug old ATA133 drives (before SATA). ATA 133 = 133MB/s. Even sa modern hard drives, 133MB/s is still high.
