    DO NOT UPDATE to INTEL SATA AHCI from Microsoft's Standard SATA AHCI!!!


    Yup, you heard me... Microsoft's Standard SATA AHCI performs a lot better, and easy on the CPU fan than the Intel ACHI driver. I updated on two of my desktop pcs, one is stuck at startup diagnoses bootloop, and the other one is drying every bit of juice from the fan on radiator. MS Standard SATA ACHI performed way better. I will not revert back to Standard SATA AHCI, but I would like to get rid of it, not leave it in the system--so Microsoft updates it upon refreshing the system someday. Stick with the Microsoft drivers. And to be honest, leave these storage, pci and other criti

  2. Do I need to update my SATA AHCI driver to Intel's version of the driver when I upgrade to a SSD or I will simply use the Standard SATA AHCI Controller driver instead?

    I've just recently upgraded my laptop HDD to an SSD and clone the HDD contents to the new SSD. Do you think that I need to update my AHCI driver to Intel's AHCI driver or use the Standard SATA AHCI Controller Driver instead?
