SSD Drive and Enabling ACHI

mrix · 15 Sep 2011 at 10:00

Hello all from what I read its best to enable ACHI in the bios if you have a SSD drive ?
I went to my bios settings and appear to have 2 sections related to ACHI....

ICH Sata Control Mode

and

Onboard Sata / IDE Control Mode

Do I enable both for ACHI ?????

Thanks

im sure its that the first one relates to the sata ports controlled by the chipset and the second one is for the gsata ports controlled by the other controller (marvel or whatever it is)

i'd just change the first one if you are running the ssd off the chipset controlled sata port.
