Anyone using AHCI mode with Intel Matrix Storage Driver?

[Anusha]

They handle it independently for some reason.What about me disabling things?

when you disable those unwanted controllers, it should speed up the booting process because those drivers are not loaded. Other than that, it might not do anything drastic.

Hey AND,do those ICH s enable NCQ autoly if it is present?

No. You have to turn on AHCI. SATA drives are, by default, configured to run as IDE. It is easier because for example, in XP, you don't have to load a driver from floppy when you install the OS. Vista has inbuilt AHCI driver, so this is not applicable. When AHCI mode is turned off, NCQ and SATA Hotplug features don't work.

Yes It will enable automatically

No it doesn't. Default BIOS settings on any motherboard disables AHCI features.

Load BIOS defaults and see.

Most people without knowing this AHCI feature installs the OS and once they find out about it, they go into much trouble to switch to AHCI. In Vista, this is easy if you have only one SATA controller (eg: ICH8), but a little difficult if there are two (eg: JMicron controller with Intel ICH8)

Both of those Flagship models set the SATA mode to IDE by default.

My P5B-E is and Intel DG965RY was like that.
