Windows 10: Samsung SSD 850 EVO

Thanks Word Man, My PC seems to be about 10 times faster and quiet now.

 

You will love your SSD!!! *Thumbs

 

You should use AHCI in case of any SSD to run optimally and support TRIM operations NCQ(Native Command Queuing), as it will also help the performance of the SSD. Possible do not have AHCI drivers installed.IRST, SATA AHCI Controller drivers. 5 years old it should be there though as i had system that old that did . It will run fine without it, but not optimally and loose some features as shown.

 

I still think Gary is trying to use AHCI but is having boot problems....with it....

Good point on updating the drivers thou

 

Yep, just looked here at his board, older drivers only up to Windows 7, but found the AHCI Drivers.Might not even have them installed was my thought.

I do, it is the best thing since sliced bread as they used to say.

 

Are you in AHCI mode Gary??

 

You do what, have those drivers installed ? Look over the rest even though older drivers ? Possible Windows 10 installed them

 

Hehehe....like a little kid in a candy store.....chuckle...

 

Hey Gary, I'll catch up with you later, got to finish my movie.. listen to jds63, he has some ideas.....

 

Thanks, i need watch the NY Mets finish the CUBS off in NLCS *Biggrin
Should see this in Device manager.

 

I tried it won't boot and it is using Trim.

 

Strange, might be another setting unless BIOS needs updating, not sure always risky, usually not these days to.You have SATA controller drivers installed as shown from your motherboard site ?

 

See here, need drivers in place before can switch modes similar topic http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/...ahci-mode.html

 

No I only have Sata II. I set it in the Bios but it would not boot. Macrium Reported that Trim was installed. MSI has no more updates for my MOBO.
