Amdir Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Hello! I recently bought a 120 GB Force-Series SSD. Everything is working fine but I am a bit confused about the whole Trim story. It seems like a good thing, and I'd like to enable it. So I've checked the CMD and apparently the Trim function is enabled etc. Though, I have no clue about the AHCI deal. I am using an AMD chipset motherboard, Asus M4A78T-E, and I heard the AMD AHCI drivers are bad (whatever that means). But I heard that you could enable windows AHCI drivers... How do I do this? I just want Trim to work on my SSD. If anyone could help me I would be very grateful. Best regards P.S. I am running in Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.

Synbios Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 You don't need AHCI for TRIM but if you want to enable AHCI you will have to perform the steps in the sticky: first a registry edit and then change the BIOS value. The next time windows boots it will install the microsoft AHCI drivers automatically which for all intents and purposes is a very good driver.

Amdir Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 I am currently running in IDE mode, and apparently according to some Trim actually works in IDE? There's so much talk and info about this - making me really confused... :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
