Someday I would like to put an SSD in, no hurry. But it is my understanding that is the only way to get above 5.9 on the hard disk. My machine = Dell Studio XPS 435MT & it also my understanding that I would have to enable RAID in the BIOS for AHCI (TRIM support) driver. This needs to be done before the fresh OS install or in my case I was planning on using the data transfer kit.
But the SATA II Barracuda & both Optical drives should still be using IDE & before they could be used I would have to change them thru the device manager to IDE/UDMA? Still a bit fuzzy on that part.
Is it as easy as just picking IDE thru a drop down window in the device manager after the OS is installed?
Thanks
