Some SATA AHCI drivers are available on the www.hp.com. Manager” driver After downloading the “Intel Matrix Storage. Includes SATA controller driver. This download record installs the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST) driver version 15.9.0.1015 with Intel® Optane™ Memory support.

So I just bought a new laptop (HP DV7t-7000) and a new SSD (120g OCZ Agility 3) to install in it as the boot drive because everyone here says it is the best ever and I cave to peer pressure. I'm about to begin the SSD install process, and I can't find an option to turn on AHCI mode in the bios settings, which everyone says is step 1. I went toHP support and the low-level tech support guy I talk to says 'Oh, HP Laptops can't do AHCI mode.' This seems odd to me, as when I purchased the laptop, one of the drive options was an SSD. So I imagine this rig could support an SSD if it really wanted to. How do I enable AHCI mode in bios if it doesn't appear to be a bios option?

Is there some fix somewhere I can download? And if AHCI 'isn't an option' for some insane reason, will the SSD still work or is it going to be less stable/dramatically slower? Am I just screwed? Sorry, but you can't enable AHCI mode if your motherboard's BIOS doesn't support it. Yes, your drive's performance will be slower but it will not be less stable.

You should still notice a difference in performance compared to using a hard drive. 1) Will trim still work?

And by slower will it be noticeably slower in the real world? Pelaksanaan Program Bk Karir Di Sekolah. Or just benchmark slOwer? 2) in doing some research it appears the problem may be that HP just locks down the bios options and some have found some bios hacks to turn on options including ahci.

How bad of an idea is it to try to mess with my bios using this method? 1.)Yes, TRIM will work. The drive will be real-world slower but it will be mainly benchmark slower. SSDs have access times (latency) that are 10 times faster than a hard drive, and access times are the same regardless of what SATA mode the SSD is in. 2.) BIOS hacks are not for novices. I personally wouldn't do it unless I had the disposable income to buy another laptop in case I mod my laptop incorrectly and brick it.
