Do I need to change from RAID to ACHI in this system

[gentlejax]

I didnt realize it but when I got my ssd drive and cloned my old drive to it I didnt change it to ACHI.

I read that intel motherboards have ACHI enabled when using RAID so do I need to change it? the original setup is/was RAID and in the BIOS its still RAID. If I try to change it I get issues and it wont boot up..of course.

Just want to make sure ..dont really want to do a re-install..cause it was a fresh install on the old hard drive I just cloned.

You don't have an actual RAID array, do you? AHCI is a subset of RAID and drives connected to a SATA port in RAID mode will default to AHCI mode IF not part of an RAID array. I would imagine you are good to go, but you can always download HDTune (free trial) and do some benchmarking and speeds tests.

I am not running it in raid , just have one hard drive in it. I forgot about it when I cloned the old drive to the new drive. ive tried to change it in the bios but then the system wont load up it just keeps rebooting.

will try that hd tune
