Quote from: Sn00ks;303377Looking at the Gigabyte site, which is what my mobo is, I notice that there is a SATA2 AHCI/RAID driver. To install it I need to interrupt the Windows install and load the driver from a floppy. I don't have a floppy! (drive that is)
 
As Windows 7 is supposed to support AHCI do I need to install the Gigabyte drivers?
 
Or do I just not bother with AHCI and leave it as is?
windows 7 does natively support ACHI so drivers should not be needed...
just remember that you cant change to ACHI mode once windows is installed unless you follow the guide i posted ->here<-

well if disk is a somewhat new model, i strongly suggest you enable ACHI for NCQ and alike.. increased my drives performance by around 10% and more when multitasking

If your raiding them, there should be a Intel raid controller on the MB as well as the gigabyte one (as I have) but I use the Intel one as I can't see much benefit using Gigabytes :g: (Nothing that stood out to me anyway) and you don't need to mess around with drivers as W7 will pick it up automatically..........I say all this but by now you have probably already got it all installed :rolleyes:
​ Bring on the randomness!
Apparently I actually exist! Or maybe it was the drink?

I do exactly what the little voices tell me to.

PC Specs:- Black box with some fans that go whirrr, a few lights, things inside that get warm, headphones, keyboard (a clicky one), mouse (with buttons and no squeak), disks (2-off SSD and HDD) and a monitor of sufficient proportions.
