Anyone using AHCI mode with Intel Matrix Storage Driver?

Title says it all. Tell me if anyone does. I need to confirm something.

I'm using it on my laptop

BTW it's vista...driver not allow me to enable HDD write cache

That's what i wanted to confirm. I think it's ok. Looks like it is taken care of by the driver automatically without the OS' intervention.

it will fix in the future driver

Really? AFAIK, it shouldn't even be shown on that properties window. Older Intel Matrix Storage drivers used to hide the whole write cache info and enable it by default.

I'm not seeing any performance issue. If any, I'm seeing an improvement in the hard disk. I was amazed how Firefox, with 20 addons, cold-started in 2 seconds!!! And it is reproducible.

You shouldn't anyway
Why would anyone deliborately design drivers to slow down operations?

A dumb Question
With AHCI enabled in BIOS and mobo and supported in HDD and features such as NCQ in the HDD ,cant they work without an OS interuption?like all the hardware talk?

That's what I'm trying to figure out.

In my old Intel mobo, it would run in AHCI with NCQ, but it will still let me play with the write cache in device manager. However, it would not let me install Intel Matrix Storage Driver. Maybe because it was ICH8, not the full ICH8R with RAID support. My on the P5B-E, it lets me install, and the end result is an umnodifiable write cache feature. I never checked it with the inbuilt Vista driver though. I wonder what the status of the JMicron SATA controller. But I don't want to open up the case and plug the HDD to that port. :S

Vista IDE mode allow to enable it..

OMG! How many storage controllers do you have there? I only have the Intel ICH8R controller and the IDE controller is the JMicron controller, which is listed under Storage Controllers in the bottom.

ATA Channel O for Blu-Ray Disk drive on my laptop.other one is extra port

Richo is built -in card readers it work as storage controllers and can work as a HDD with memory stiks

You guys on vista ne.I'm on XP.This is how it showed.Usually the nVIDIA controllers are weird.They identify SATA as removable devices
