I have a n40l ive put a ssd in the drive bay above the hdds bay...it works fine but for some reason its only running in ide mode not ahci mode, AHCI is enabled in the bios so i dont understand wht its showing up as ide...i sort of think its a driver issue but cant seem to find a driver on the hp site so not to sure...has anyone else came across this problem when using a ssd....i am using WHS 2011 thanks....
