Hi. recently installed a new samsung SSD, and then decided to test it using AS SSD benchmark device.
It read "pciide - Bad"
I looked at some forums that suggested I go into BIOS -integrated peripherals - onchip - PATA/SATA devices, and change the SATA setting from IDE to AHCI
there was no option to do so, only and "enable/disable" option.
But there was a AHCI option on the RAID mode just beneath it.
I changed the RAID option top AHCI from IDE, figuring I don't have a raid array and it might adjust the whole system, so what the hell, and restarted and rebooted at instructed.
Just re-tested my speeds using AS SSD benchmark again, and got the same "pciide - BAD" message.
Am I not getting best speeds? does all this mean nothing? What should I do?
Thanks!
The entire results are as follows:
