How important is AHCI?
I've just loaded Win 7 on a new machine with the OS on an Intel X-25 SSD and two other Sammsung T1's for storage. I didn't know to activate the AHCI capability when I did the install. Intel support is telling me that the only way now to get AHCI is to reinstall the OS after selecting AHCI in BIOS. How valuable or important is it to have the AHCI capability? Is this only for the SSD, or will it also work with the rotating hard drives. Thanks for your thoughts!
