Hello,

First, sorry for my english ( i m french )

I buy intel SSD 530 to install windows 7 64 bits.My motherboard is MSI GAMING Z87GD65 with intel 4770K processor.

I have big problem to install windows because windows installer say me controller not good in BIOS.

After lot of hours , i find good parameter of AHCI to install windows on it ( all IDE Mode )

The problem is i can't switch to AHCI mode, my SSD is on Z87 Sata port. Before SSD 530 , i have X-25M SSD and AHCI was OK.

Then i test the performance to SSD and i don't have good one. I have other SSD and HDD ( it s the same if i let only SSD 530 only ) then all the other DD cannot have AHCI because intel 530 cannot like it. When i put AHCI ( only with 530 ) windows cannot load and the screen was blocked

My motherboad, drivers, ssd firmware is update at last version. I have check on internet , i'm not the only guy with this problem.

How we do , please to have full AHCI function?

Thanks for your help

Tiff

Could it be the partition is not aligned? I have read few references of this happening in Windows* 7.

/thread/20042 https://communities.intel.com/thread/20042

I have test AS SSD soft and i have not problem of alignment and the performance is a same ; i will try to install windows on other ssd and see if intel ssd is also low performance

ok, after clonage the windows installation of intel 530 to samsung 830, the performance of intel 530 is the same. I test with new install now, but it very strange to have bad performance ( ahci ON, only SSD in line, i disconnect the no SSD HDD to be sure )

See you after new installation

Bye

You may contact http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/contactsupport Intel support but I wanted to ask some questions first:

Do you get the same result after optimizing the drive with https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=18455 Intel® SSD Toolbox?

Do you have another system you can use to test the Intel® SSD?
