Waitt arr, I try to switch mine to AHCI
See if its really improve the disk score~

erm..noob here.. mind sharing how to change to AHCI? how to know myne is what system? i wanna improve also.

Enter the BIOS, look for the Storage Configuration. Select the AHCI mode, safe config. Thats all~

Btw, I cant boot into windows after i change mine to AHCI. Need to do fresh install ka?

gud luck..btw,i'm using AMD AHCI driver...

AHCI need special driver, that will be installed by default during intsllation.
(i dont really sure if you can install it on current windows installation).

AMD AHCI driver waaaay better than default Microsoft driver doesent it?

No wonder OS X running faster, coz they using AHCI mode~

where do u dload ur AMDAHCI driver?is it with catalyst?

woaah...seems AHCI is complicated

included with mobo driver(but ppl rarely install it coz it is non compulsory and need to do manual install).

can download here also
http://sites.amd.com/us/game/downloads/Pag..._win7-64.aspx#3
but i dont know what makes it goes around 70mb there, while actual driver supposed to be less than 1mb.

windows will automatically set the default configuration for you.

just in case here, I find that using AMD provided driver will result on better performance compared to using the default windows auto configured driver.

bro just wanna know, do we need to do some special thing before installing the amd ahci driver?

I just do format my PC. The disk score raise a bit, maybe coz my disk lauya ones From 5.5 upto 5.9

here is mine.
btw the hdd i use is Intel X18 converted.

already format? dat was fast!

it won't take long time anyway...

Alamak, why my hdd so slow one??

just a normal 500gb WD 7200rpm drive... on AHCI

I use USB method, very fast one lerr


Have you try update using ur offical board driver?
Mine still same, with MS driver or Asus it stuck at 5.9, maybe coz Im on 16Mb cache

This is pathetic! I just re-format my PC with Raid 0, guess what?? My disk score remain at 5.9. Unbelievable.. Zzz

To the rest, does your score with Raid 0 also 5.9??

balanced system. except for HDD.. lol. WD 320GB, way back from the time they didn't have the colour coding yet.
