Should I enable AHCI when installing Windows?
I'm building a new system at the moment which has a SATA2 harddrive and I'm unclear as to whether I should install it in "AHCI mode" (via the BIOS).
I believe that this is something that can only be set at install time, and will provide native command queueing (NCQ) among other benefits.
The reason that I am asking this question is that I have also read a number of reports of issues with AHCI when transfering large files.
Does anyone have any hints on whether enabling this is going to benefit my system?
Thanks,
Andy B.
