AMD AHCI vs MS AHCI - SSD Testing. What I find most interesting was how the write cache seems to get downgraded to a slower sata speed in ATTO under amd_sata.sys driver that is ultimately what is preventing my drive from running at a higher speed. Passing TRIM and NCQ commands to my SSD Boot volume right? 06:52 PM #10.
I’m running a Samsung SSD and it starts up Windows 7 pretty fast. Once the Windows logo comes up it takes maybe 5 or 10 seconds to display the login prompt. Then it jumped to 2-3 minutes. It took me awhile to figure out what happened but after trying many different things I found that it was the large data only drive that I had added shortly after the new Windows 7 install. If I unplug it I’m back to 5 or 10 seconds till the login.
What is the point of getting an SSD if you can’t add a large data drive? Any ideas?
It’s a new build with:
ASRock X79 Extreme 9 motherboard
Samsung 512MB 830 SSD
Seagate 4TB Hard Disk
The SSD and the larger disk drive are both on the only 2 Intel SATA3 ports. If I move it to any other port its a little slower. Indexing is not enabled for the drive. I have no virus scanning software at the moment. I tried disabling the other 2 SATA controllers.
