    I was under the impression that setting the controller to AHCI for an SSD would allow Windows 7 to properly identify and configure itself for the SSD.
    Nah, the installer checks for rotation. If it is zero rotation, it knows it is an SSD.

    You don't have an issue, unless you have more to post. I asked above what specific features or functions you felt you were missing out on, as in, why do you feel you need AHCI over IDE?

    Unless you really have a specific issue, and your choice is RAID or IDE, stick with IDE.

    There is every reason to switch to AHCI


    I am speaking from a Profesional POV / top of the line military grade workstations, AHCI mode, enables TRIM support. No TRIM, and the SSD drive is slowly dying everytime you use it. Very necessary. In win 7, 8 AND 10.
