It is recommended that SSD should be using AHCI.
I have a Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD4 in which I have a OCZ Agility 3 120gb SSD as a boot drive, Velociraptor 160GB for apps plus 1tb drive and 2tb drive for data. I have by ignorance installed my SSD on one of the eSATA3 6 gb/s ports as IDE. There are 2 parameters in the F5 BIOS for the mobo that i can change IDE to AHCI. Which one do I change "PCH SATA Control Mode" (does this parameter affect all the drives?) or "eSATA 3 Ctrl Mode" or do I change both?
Also if I make this change, will I lose my data on the drives?
Before I make this BIOS change I have go into the registry to make a driver change from 3 to 0 is this correct?
Yes... I will do a backup, just in case.
