AHCI and Hybrid Sleep
Hi
I noticed that after resuming from (hybrid) sleep mode, I couldn't access my second HDD (Maxtor). sometimes it showed the root folder, sometimes not. anyway I had to restart by reset switch as Shutdown/Restart would stuck at "shutting down" message.
I removed all the USB devices and booted up windows and the problem was gone. The PC functioned properly after sleep mode. I connected a USB device (tried 2 different ones), put the PC into sleep and back on. The problem happened again. I also noticed that the HDD activity LED is solid on!
After searching the forum I noticed some people have problems regarding AHCI. Therefor I changed SATA mode in BIOS from "SATA->AHCI" to "Native IDE" and now I don't have the issue.
I don't know if disabling AHCI will have noticeable negative performance impacts.
Should I seek a solution for this or just keeping AHCI off is the only solution?
