This behavior should be normal and acts as just a reminder only. I don't think it is a warning. FYI, SSD also acts like a HDD. The bios will feel that they are running a HDD.
Anyway, can you still use your SSD after enable AHCI.

Bare in mind that there is new crucial disti in the country already

thats's why they come with 5 years warranty?

I have issues to bring here. Firstly i'm using the ancient motherboard ASUS P6T collaboration with i7 920.
Secondly my hard disk is already dead. So i want to try using SSD to my desktop. I know it can't fit with the new tech of SSD nowadays.
So i need help from all sifu here to recommending to me what the worth SSD that can fit and reliable to my motherboard.

Your P6T ancient?
Any SSDs out there could be installed on your PC.
The only limitation is your SATA 2, which will bottleneck your SSD.
But nonetheless, it will still be fast when running on SATA 2.
The favorite SSD on this thread goes to Crucial M4.

hehe..it could be ancient as well. Because 1366 is very rare to see in market right know.
Crucial M4 going to be sifu's favorite..Where to get that stuff in Ipoh?

Search for them in garage sales. There are few sellers there selling this. I doubt you will find them in retail stores.

Anyway you don't have to limit yourself to the crucial m4. There are also intel, corsair, ocz. But the crucial m4 is the best bang for the buck right now.

Had the same delema as you did but at the end decided paying extra RM50 is worth the money if it reduces the odds significantly that a RMA is required. OCZ has the highest failure rate whilie Intel has the lowest. That was enough to convice me to pay the premium.

you had to know if your P6T has SATA 3 port first... many 1366 doesn't own SATA 3 / USB 3 ports

is it possible for ssd convert to external disk?
like 120gb ssd into 2.5" capalang usb 3.0 external casing?
im always on the go so i always carry my work inside a pendrive..
but sometimes its not fast enough for copying within the pendrive itself

may i know how can i know my motherboard is running at sata 2 or 3 ?

based on specification, all ports operates in sata2.

What's your motherboard brand and model?

i must go for it (crucial m4) ..anyways thanks

my system cant! every time i installed n formatted the ssd in AHCI mode, when i shutdown it takes forever. and then switch back on while in the windows it doesnt wanna detect my vertex4 or it will hang. i resetted my system n in windows device manager i cant detect it anymore.. asked me to chkdsk. then i try switch back to IDE and vertex4 detected n run without problem/ no hang
