Just assembled on my parts for my new build but am getting stuck on this AHCI thing...need some advice...
i5 4670K
Z87X-UD3H
Samsung 840 EVO 250GB
2 x Seagate 7200 2tb drives
other parts just for reference and because i'm a proud owner ;-)
Corsair Vengeance 1600 2 x 8GB
XFX Pro 650W
Corsair H100i
Fractal Design Define R4
Saphire HD7790
As most people i want to use the SSD as OS drive only and as fast as possible so in AHCI
Then i have the two other drives for storage and prefer to run them in RAID1...
In the shiny Gigabyte bios in only get the options SATA, AHCI or RAID - i've tried installing OS in AHCI then switching to RAID but no luck and the other way around it seems the SSD is in SATA mode only...
The samsung SSD comes with samsung drive magician software which says it's not in AHCI and not performing at it's best...
So what can i do to get what i want - this is an awesome board and i think it's possible but am not seeing it...
it comes with 8 SATA ports, 6 should be intel and other two is called GSATA by marvell
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Cheers
