Hi guys,
I have set the bios to ahci now following those steps in the neowin guide worked fine. But i think my sata 2 drive is still running at ide speeds. On startup in bios its recognised as third ide master and when i benchmark it it doesnt go higher then 60mb/sec. Thats not right is it??
Im using bios 1305
Thnx

Are you using HDTACH? That will give you results for:
- Average read
- Burst speed
- Random access
Here's what I get for my SATA drive (Raptor 74GB), running in AHCI mode:
- Average read: 65 MB/sec
- Burst speed: 125.9 MB/sec
- Random access: 7.7 ms
These numbers are essentially identical to what I got when running the drive as Standard IDE.
