thread_title:  No mention of what AHCI enables NCQ, Hotswap 

message: ...that is BEFORE you install Windows, choose what you want: AHCI or IDE. If you want AHCI then prepare the floppy disk that came with the motherboard (or make it with the motherboard CD) OR slipstream it onto Windows installation disk. 
Then install Windows normally.
The only real danger here is if you install Windows in AHCI mode and later change it to IDE and vice versa. That causes BSODs and problems.

replies: text: The problem is you get a board that came set up for IDE mode or you set it to IDE mode to avoid the need to use a floppy or slipstream or to use an older linux distro or whatever. Then sometime later you come to add a hard drive or or optical drive and find that half your disk controller ports are unusable without switching to ahci mode.

thread_title:  Why is AHCI problem? You just have to follow a specific install procedure... 

message: This article doesn't really talk about what AHCI is, and how it is different from the legacy compatible mode. Added to that, the same information (same word-to-word information) is available in another page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AHCI). Probably, the article can continue to exist in the other page (AHCI is more popular name, than its full acronym), and this page can be deleted. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 12.7.85.90 (talk • contribs) 21:24, January 24, 2007 (UTC)

text: Afaict early sata controllers (and many seperate cards still do today) used vendor specific interfaces (like most scsi controllers). This made life easy for hardware designers but was a nightmare for operating system vendors and system builders. Some motherboard vendors wen't for emulating IDE but that limited the drives to the IDE feature set and generally limited the motherboard to four drives total (often 2 IDE 2 SATA though some boards offered other configurations as well). So a new standard interface was needed. Plugwash (talk) 20:16, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Warning relevant? 

message: AHCI is fully supported in Linux. Kernel 2.6.18 has limited support, but 2.6.19 (due out soon) will have full support. Some distributions (such as Fedora Core) already include the 2.6.19 patches in 2.6.18. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.67.98.193 (talk • contribs) 15:57, November 27, 2006 (UTC)
I use fc6 and can confirm I have installed on a linux software raid across 3 disks in AHCI mode. Certainly leaves windows in it's wake... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.206.56.233 (talk • contribs) 05:18, December 29, 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  add Linux support section? 

message: Someone mentioned that MSI needs to be disabled on certain AMD/ATI chipsets under Linux, reverting the PCIe to work as a faster PCI bus. According to the MSI article, they exist in the PCI 2.2 standard, so MSI is valid on Parallel PCI as well. What difference does MSI make? Can it be further explained in the MSI article?

message: This article is way too Windows and Linux centric.  Information concerning AHCI and other operating systems must be added for fairness.  HOWEVER, most of that information is not relevent to AHCI itself anyway.  I hesitate to prune a ton of information without discussing first.  --Afed 20:28, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think you're confusing neutrality with a lack of content.  Yes, the information here is mainly limited to Windows and Linux OS,s but that alone doesn't make the article non-neutral; it just means that we need to add more information regarding AHCI and other OSs.  I replaced the npov article with the missing info template, as I think this one better reflects your concerns. — EagleOne\Talk 22:45, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

message: "Support for AHCI is also featured in Windows XP Media Center Edition (the only version of XP to support it), prompting many manufacturers to ship with this version despite the hardware not supporting the multimedia features of this version (an example being the Dell Dimension 5150C)."
This is not correct. While Dell machines do come with discs which have Intel's AHCI driver bundled, the disc is modified by Dell for this purpose. Generic MCE discs do not include AHCI support. Karsini (talk) 21:24, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  AHCI  

message: My mainboard supports SATA but has neither RAID nor AHCI support in its BIOS. It has an Intel chipset though, and I use an Intel SSD with it, under Windows XP. So can I somehow enable it to work with NCQ? Which driver would be needed?

If so how can I check?

message: "AHCI is supported out of the box on Windows Vista (and later versions of Windows), ... ... ... Windows 7 also does not provide support out of the box"
Is this self-contradictory, or inaccurate,or misleading, or just ambiguous?
Isn't Windows 7 a "later version of Windows"?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jimberry36 (talk • contribs) 06:04, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
