AHCI - DON'T Forget it!
I am planning a fresh install of W7 x64 to help clear the slate on some odd occasional issues that popped up on my system. In some of my reading, I learned a VERY LITTLE about AHCI. Setting it in the bios BEFORE installing the OS- as opposed to turning it on afterward an install can be kind of a pain in the butt. AHCI can increase performance on SSD drives and that's what brought it to my attention.
That, is the extent of what I know about Advanced Host Controller Interface.
So what do I need to know about AHCI? Why not turn it on for any computer with SATA drives before installing the OS? SSD or standard spinning drives...
