Sorry im not comfortable to copy n paste here using my phone.
U may refer to my thread HERE for tips to enable ACHI in win7.
Or google as well.

i did follow the tips in ur thread last time...then i gave it up...then i saw ppl discuss it in this thread, so i think i shld give it a try again~thx anyway bro

I found the root cause of the SSD and adapter problem.

1) adapter detect the SSD for 1st time before intialize
2) adapter detect the SSD after intialized and formatted, copy files all ok
3) adapter failed to detect the SSD the 2nd time plug in to SATA or USB external.
4) The adapter failed to ocnvert voltage. SSD still ok. (tested with Caddy 2.5 converter).

Summary,

Cap ayam adapter doesnt convert voltage to 3.3v instead to 5v. Some said it will affect the SSD, no, SSD are durable, tested with correct adapter and it works.

Just ordered 5 Unit of Caddy 2.5 adapter. Can be used for desktop and laptop as (internal and external). Make ur orders now price :RM125 only.

Is this different from the one you're bringing in?

I have 20 units of this converter... and it gives alot of trouble for me... some of the notebook cannot even get detected. Notebook that having trouble

Notebook that having trouble
---------------------------------
Macbook/Macbook Pro
Aspire TimelineX
Toshiba Satellite Pro
Fujitsu S6520
Acer Netbook

Notebook that tested okay
------------------------------
Lenovo Thinkpad x60 / X200
Alienware 15x
HP Netbook (Not too sure which model)


There's only 1 2.5" caddy converter on the market... I believe we are getting the same converter... so just a friendly reminder.. beware of this converter...

Thanks for sharing bro. I was about to pull the trigger to pay 20pcs until i saw this. If not, RM3k wasted like that.

Hmm, its working okay in my Inspiron 9400 at least.

Yea, I'd realised Dell notebook seems fine. I will test out Dell XPS notebook soon... will report in my result...

guys..new SSD user here.

It's blazing fast after 1 week plus of usage. Then couple of days ago. I noticed some noticeable delay @ the screen where windows logo is pulsing.

(previously, once those 4 colored orbs combined, it'll go straight to windows logon page and straight into desktop without even pulsing)

So its around 5-10 secs extra of pulsing on that screen. So I went into the delete temporary files/cache on the drive and cleared it.

After that no more problem. Wanna ask if this is normal ?

I have finally got my ssd and install with w7hp, but after i set from ide to ahci mode, everytime i restart my computer, it will stuck very long or more than 5 minutes waiting time at bios screen (detecting ide drives), is it something wrong?

did u do the registry tweak?

can u pass error checking and benchmark with Crystaldiskmark and HDTune?

yes i have follow exactly what u mentioned, [Start] value set from [3]>[0], then restart and set from IDE>AHCI, then restart and it stuck at the [Detecting IDE Drives] for around 10 minutes. After i revert the settings, the boot up back to normal again (no stuck at detecting drives screen) i will post the error checking and benchmarking result later
and i noticed the restart time is almost same compare to mt previous WD HDD (56 Seconds with games and apps installed) and SSD now (55 Seconds without games and apps)

this is odd, boot time wont take that long unless ur storage device is partially faulty it will drag the IDE detection longer until recognition successful.
change back to AHCI again but this time unplug any other HDDs and see. just to error out any placebo effects.

It might be due to its drive is not updated too.. You can always check back your motherboard update. O ya, and apply this forumer's suggestion above as well.. I also did the same way when I'm having problem turning to AHCI mode. XD

Guys, if I want to buy a SSD for my desktop as a booting disk, which brand you guys recommend?

below are my ssd test report, is it normal???

OCZ for performance, Intel for reliability and Kingston for cheaper capacity.

Looks quite ordinary for an Intel G2 160GB.

The problem is, the boot up time does not as fast as it should be, the windows welcome screen is still loading long. And if i switch to ahci mode, it is more worst now trying to reinstall windows.

after reinstall windows how is it? still slow booting?
hv u tried unplugging other optical devices and let the SSD alone booting?
