QUOTE(wiraone @ Nov 24 2012, 04:01 PM) Hi all, just bought 128GB Samsung SSD from someone here, everything seems to work perfectly, OS installation, boot up etc. Just one thing, I'm using DELL 990SSF, before adding the SSD, the RAID screen never came up during boot, just an annoyance since it is working great. Couldn't seem to switch to AHCI, whenever I switch the BIOS, it just wouldn't boot. Did few tricks, fixing the BCD etc but won't budge. Anyway, TRIM is enabled when I checked, so all is okay I guess (or is it not?). Hi. It is highly possible that you installed your OS with a different mode that is why you can't boot into AHCI mode now. I had this problem too and fixed it just a few hours ago lol. Not to worry , there's of course a fix. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « QUOTE How to enable AHCI in Windows 7 after Instalation:
There is one way to fix this, although you need to have knowledge of registry editing. The detailed steps from Microsoft are as follows:
1.Exit all Windows-based programs.
2.Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.
3.If you receive the User Account Control dialog box, click Continue.
4.Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetServicesMsahci
5.In the right pane, right-click Start in the Name column, and then click Modify.
6.In the Value data box, type 0, and then click OK.
7.On the File menu, click Exit to close Registry Editor.
After this you’ll have to restart your computer, go to BIOS and enable AHCI. When you log in to Windows again, you’ll notice the installation of drivers for AHCI. Another restart will be required to finish the driver installation. |

QUOTE(wiraone @ Nov 25 2012, 09:52 PM) Just rechecked the registry, the value is already set to 0. So, I believe AHCI has been set correctly. So you should be able to boot using AHCI mode , choose in your bios. I believe previously booting in this mode will cause it to restart the second it reaches the windows boot logo. |

QUOTE(lostintransition @ Jan 4 2013, 08:14 AM) Hi All; Just a few questions here... I managed to get an Intel 330 SSD (120GB)  Now, Intel has included both the (1): Data Migration Software, and (2): Intel SOlid State Drive Toolbox software as part of the SSD purchase package. Question is, I do not not know whether both the software above is compatible with Windows 8. The soft copy of the guide can be found here ------> http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Des...Y&DwnldID=19324Has anyone used this data migration software on Windows 8? Does it work? I've use the migration software to transfer my Windows 8 from HDD to SSD within 15 minutes or so. It works. QUOTE(Neux Gabux @ Jan 4 2013, 10:56 AM) why no 120GB? only 80, 180 and 240GB for Intel SSD 335? huhuhu..  180 is better i guess.. More space for apps! |

QUOTE(-kytz- @ Jan 23 2013, 07:59 PM) If Corsair Force 120GB vs Intel 330 series 120GB vs Sandisk Extreme 120GB? Let's just put aside reliability and warranty support aside first  Any which would do perfectly fine actually. Boot time win8 <10secs  Or maybe more than that , didn't time it but definitely a lotttttttt snappier than hdd Even GTA4 loads a lot more faster , 2 pics change and then finished loading . Let the poison begin!  Edit : Okay , just timed it for the sake of you , 7 secs! Not full boot tho , win8 shutdown. If restart (Full shutdown) it takes just about 10-11 secs. All timed after post.
