My first solid state.

If you boot into windows, go to device manager and expand IDE/ATA/ATAPI Controllers and tell me the entries at the bottom. You should have one that has AHCI in it's name.

I think that if it is working it should be left alone assuming that it is already running in AHCI mode because of the second setting and I use windows backup for my ssd

Yes pooch i also now use windows image but,is that reliable?

Btw give me a minute to check in bios.

 

[panais]

Here how is exactly now,
And is working fine,(for now)
As i said if i enable the Onboard SATA/IDE Ctrl to AHCI, on the POST it will looking for drivers.

 

[pooch]

It works OK for me, but I always try to keep more than one image on different disks just in case. There is also no reason why you cannot use more than one backup method

I am also interested to hear the answer to essenbe's post #161

Ok give me a minute...

Do you see anything wrong?

 

[pooch]

Another thing you could do to find out is to see if trim is working
type (as admin) in a command prompt

fsutil behavior query DisableDeleteNotify

If the result is '0' TRIM is enabled.

Right click on the ICH9R, go to properties, click the details tab, click the drop down box, scroll down to children and tell us what it says.

 

[essenbe]

While you are in the command prompt, after doing as Pooch suggested, type powercfg -h off That will disable Hibernate and save you 8 GB of space on your SSD. But you won't have hibernate in your shut down options.

It is looking good to me I have to go now need to sleep I will look in again tomorrow

Here all the views guys,

 

[essenbe]

OK that looks good. That means you are in AHCI mode. Now do the command prompts from Pooch and the one I posted above. The one Pooch gave will tell you if trim is enabled.

 

[panais]

pooch,essenbe

 

[essenbe]

That looks good. now turn off hibernate. Then click the start button and type defrag in the search box, click on disk defragmenter, if you see schedule click on that, as I recall there is a check box in the top left about schedule, un check that, save and leave that screen, now it should say schedule defragmentation is off. You will have to do your other hard drives manually. Never defragment the SSD.

Good job, Panais

 

[panais]

Done???

 

[essenbe]

That looks good. If you haven't already go to gigabyte's site and update all of your drivers. Then, enjoy your new SSD. You've done a good job. Congratulations.

Ok i will work,play as usual and see what happens.

Thanks again,EVERYBODY,i will post back with news,(good news i hope).

 

[essenbe]

Panais, Those are pretty good numbers too. I'm glad you are set up and it is running well. The WEI numbers for the SSD are right on what hey should be. In fact, my Intel runs 7.6, so yours is doing good. If you have any problems, let me know. Good job.
