I got an OCZ Vertex 4 SSD the other week and I've managed to install it and it's working, but I think it's still running in SATA mode instead of AHCI mode (which if I understand correctly is more efficient for SSDs). I've had a look in the BIOs and I can't spot anything which sets AHCI mode. I have a nasty suspicion that my motherboard doesn't support it. CrystalDiscInfo says that the transfer mode is SATA/600

Does anyone know if the ASUSTeK P5G41T-M LX2/GB motherboard supports AHCI mode and if it does, how to set an SSD connected to it to use AHCI mode.

I am not using this SSD as my main disk, I'm using it as an extra disk for putting some games and other applications on which I want to load more quickly.

Thanks in advance!

As far as I can find, that motherboard's chip-set does not provide AHCI.

Check for yourself in the Manual over at support.asus.com (no mention of AHCI).

Also, there's no drivers provided that relate to AHCI.

Usually a board that provides AHCI also provides basic RAID capabilities, as they are very much related.
