I've got the following installed:
Gigabyte Z68A-D3H motherboard
Corsair Force GT SSD (main drive)
WD Caviar Black 1.5TB (media drive)
EVGA Superclocked Nvidia GeForce GTX 560
Kingston HyperX DDR3 4 x 4GB (16GB total) RAM 1.65v
When my computer boots up, I see it calling the drives "IDE", which I understand is the old protocol? I'm fighting the learning curve here and this machine is my first home build. Now, I guess there's an option to put the computer in AHCI mode on the motherboard. Is this beneficial at all? My system is pretty stable so far and boot time is under 30 seconds. So, just looking for some advice.
Mahalo!
