Setting at IDE or AHCI?
Just received a computer with a ASUS P6X58D-E motherboard, two SATA-III HDD, and two SATA RW Disk drives. The HDD are connected to the SATA-III ports on the motherboard. The BIOS indicates that it is set to IDE and the Marvell 9128 controller is also set to IDE. The first HDD is for programs and the second drive for data.
The Win7 performance showed the HDD @ 5.9 and my other machine with SATA-I @ 5.3. Though that these numbers would be higher for the SATA-III.
Is this setting correct at IDE or should these be set at AHCI?
Secondly, how can I tell if the HDD are operating as a SATA-III?
Win7 Pro is the OS
