Disadvantages of not using ACHI?

[kmufc77]

Hi ive just decided to use my SSD on my 6GB sata on my mobo,im getting the speeds as advertised by Crucial ive also stop using ACHI what i was using when using 3GB sata with this drive.

The reason for not using ACHI is simply when booting up it takes a lot longer to go through the boot process screen compared to IDE.

When using IDE the computer boots to desktop in seconds ACHI takes a good minute.

So what disadvantages are there now that im not using ACHI and im using IDE with my SSD as im getting the advertised 6GB sata speeds?

Also i cannot see the Controller: Marvell 88SS9174 anyway when looking through device manager?

When clicking on "Storage Controllers:Gigabyte GBB36X controller appears which says Driver provider is JMicron Driver date:07/10/2009?

Standard AHCI ATA controller says the driver is Microsoft Driver Date :21/06/2006

Do i need to install any chipset drivers to update any of this or any other drivers ?

I have the UD3R which is essentially the same board as the UD5 for the most part and my board boots fast with an SSD with AHCI enabled, if you aren't using the JMicron controller than disable it in BIOS, this is speed up POST.

Hi how do i disable the Jmicron controller in the bios?
