AFAIK yes. TRIM requires AHCI to work.

Wonder if there's any way to run a wiper tool on Intel drives?

I am assuming you mean on an intel G1?
you would have to custom create one from scratch... and hack the drive firmware as well which I doubt will be doable...
My motherboard is an old ASUS A8N-SLI Premium without AHCI support.
For SINGLE file copy or for multiple concurrent file reads and writes?I know I had it enabled because drive performance was actually worse with AHCI enabled and I disabled it.

so that will be the totally irrelevant "MB/s sequential single file only"
aka, the figure according to which jmicron drives are the fastest drives in the world

i am saying, try resting and paying careful attention to what is being tested.
NCQ should be slower on single file sequential, but faster at multiple concurrent files (sequential or random, especially random)... which are what really matters in the end.
NCQ performance also greatly varies depending on the quality of the firmware in the drive that you use

So you're saying that the HD testing utilities avaliable for the consumer aren't any good for real world desktop use?

that is EXACTLY what I am saying... and I got that bit from anandtechs recent article about SSDs...

Not on this page... somewhere in there it said that (IIRC)
Let's hear a suggestion for the average consumer so we can compare with the "Big Boys", who BTW, use the same tests as I did.follow the testing methology used by anand, or pcper, or someone else who knows their stuff.
Gimme a break....When exactly have i exalted the G2 based on canned benchmarks from "testing suites"?
has been answered by a resounding "NO".So you're saying that the HD testing utilities avaliable for the consumer aren't any good for real world desktop use?

It's clear to anyone that's been here awhile and read your posts that an Intel drive was your choice from reading reviews
