Hi All
A question for those that are in Geek mode with PC setups:-
SATA controller choice/setup with W7 Pro ~ IDE is the default but AHCI is said to be the better choice but if you (eventually?) want to hot swap eSATA drives that can only be done with AHCI.
How is yours setup and if you have a SATA connected optical drive running under AHCI has it been trouble free???
TIA for your user feedback
PS For the record this is the kit to be setup:-
Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD4 rev2.0
Palit GTS 450 1024MB Sonic Platinum
8GB G.Skill RiPjaw Dual Channel RAM
LG Lightscribe Optical Drive
650W modular PSU
i5 760 processor
2 off 500GB Caviar Black
1 off 1TB Caviar Black
