How activate the default AHCI and NCQ for better performance of hard disk

Hi friends, this video tutorial will show you how to activate AHCI for windows vista ready 7 or install AHCI Advanced Host Controller Interface means, that more advanced management of your hard drive, with the AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface) NCQ is enabled and it does not work without AHCI after activation we have a faster hard drive and thus a more lively.
First of all you should find out if your motherboard supports AHCI, most new motherboards average bear it.
Enabling AHCI in the registry is, we change an entry, then you must restart the PC and enter the BIOS to enable AHCI basically the BIOS will change the way host controller works, he is the IDE, we're to choose AHCI.
In the tutorial I show the performance difference between AHCI and non-AHCI, while the ASA score SSD Benchmark to drive without AHCI was 240 to AHCI 370 amounted to an incredible difference I would say the test was done on a OCZ SSD Vertex2 of 60GB.
Managing hard drive with AHCI is more effective in multi tasking is a difference in the crushing and AHCI enabled, unfortunately not everyone can enjoy it, not all motherboards support AHCI.
Enjoy the performance!

  7. Hi. Interesting tutorial, however you had to benchmark an HDD not an SDD as most will start to benchmark the HDD and when it starts to "carry" the HDD :)) and you will notice that the result is not like yours!
    The tutorial had to be done "live", that is, with a video camera / where AHCI is activated from the bios, many will enter the bios year and will make another story!
    Very useful tutorialu 10 note!
    And maybe next year [2011] you will post assembly / benchmark tutorials and much more, something like "" tigerdirect "" // "Motherboards" "

      Because your motherboard or rather the chipset of your motherboard does not support such a thing or because you did not look where you should in the bios. Forget the tutorial head-on without scrolling. You can see that we also have a tutorial about "some brief explanations about the bios" that you can find with the search box on the top right.

  17. Hello I have a Mr. Cristi queries actually watched this tutorial are up to date with your tutorials have your site on favorite, I mean my probelma now:
    My motherboard supports or rather has AHCI I modified as you said there from the registers, I restarted and I entered the bios and in the bios I changed the AHCI from SATA to my base is on SATA. I want to specify that I have a Western Digital HDD 640Gb 32Mb Cavier Black. Do I have to have an SSD to work with this option? And please want to explain to me exactly where it is set in the bios. I set from the first interface of the bios what the bios look like when you enter there are a lot of Sata and under it it says SATA configuration and there I found it like this: SATAT, RAID, AHCI ,. And I put on AHCI and after that I came out of the bios and it doesn't install anything, it says like please reboting system that message appears as if you don't have Windows installed and you have to install windows, I hope you understand what I'm saying. And I went back to the bios and set it to SATA and it restarted the system. I want to say that I have an Asus M3A78 motherboard.
    Tell me please what to do should you install Windows or elsewhere should set it to AHCI BIOS function.
    My opinion had made this tutorial with all the steps together, because certainly not call myself are encountering problems, will definitely come mia all kinds of stuff and others.
    Now please tell me exactly where I go in the BIOS to do this, as I said if I am thence where I specified I told Mia goes and what comes up saying you have to reinstall Windows.
    Please send your very much exactly you. Please help me

I'd like a tutorial on AHCI if I put the IDE installed win going to fool with it but not see the AHCI blue or have a laptop that has only IDE can make its registry as you did and to grow performance? And in relation to RAID / AHCI, I saw that the Intel site a software + driver Intel Matrix Storage Console but improved it called Intel Rapid Storage technlogy that I am now in RAID and you say the difference is very greater between a safe and two identicee HDD in RAID 0. I about IDE + AHCI want to tell me if it works or if it's so handy to do a tutorial on Intel Rapid Storage from Intel and Microsoft to see what the difference is. Think! Have a good day!

      I do not understand that the motherboard must support AHCI? If the motherboard does not sporta so you can activate the BIOS and AHCI lu father, since you do not have one on the motherboard you think will happen? and even if you have AHCI on the motherboard since it's not enabled in the BIOS again you can activate Windows on AHCI lu fratesu it will not happen. The motherboard must support AHCI and NCQ hard drive. nothing you hard if you have AHCI with NCQ on the motherboard and nothing of AHCI on the motherboard if you have NCQ hard drive. Do not go one without the other. Not understand Romanian people? Why scroll tutorials, why not look head-tail? you really think so asi?

    Dear tutorialisti Cristi and Adrian,
    Track and are interested about 90% of your tutorials and I must admit that they are of great interest and well done. Observe that the presentation addresses a segm average PC user, so do not bore the advanced tutorials and quite enlightening for the middle class. The large number of comments from some tutorials belong to the fun and careless, or are not accustomed to consult documentation, as they say in the old days, engineering. There is also the category of those who possess knowledge about PC. ECAC intrigues me the contrast between very pedagogical and methodical in how they are made tutorials and how to address the responses to comments, completely devoid of condescension contariu and easy. This reminds me of a former professor of physics at school, which was very well prepared, but feel free teaching and more. Work only with the tips of the class and the rest of them treat jicniri. I would be glad if you think a little more on this issue, or pity for your excellent work!

    I was patient to collect some of your answers (true, taken out of context, but still…):

    - "You have no idea how to navigate a site"

    - “Don't you understand that the motherboard has to support AHCI? If the motherboard does not support something like that, you can also activate AHCI's father from the bios, since you don't have something like that on the motherboard, what do you think will happen? and even if you have AHCI on the motherboard since it is not activated in the BIOS again you can activate it in Windows and on the brother of AHCI that nothing will happen. The motherboard must support AHCI and NCQ hard drive. in vain you have hard drive with NCQ if you do not have AHCI on the motherboard and in vain you have AHCI on the motherboard if you do not have NCQ on hard disk. I don't go without each other. Don't you understand Romanian, good people? Why do you run the tutorials, why not look head-to-tail? Do you really think so? ”

    __ ”You play and go to another room and listen, don't you watch the tutorial? It was clear that in the run box it was written regedit! ”

    All respect to arguments but not at school, we are not teachers.
    The tutorial should be monitored carefully because the information is highly concentrated.
    We do not like to repeat the same things shown in the tutorial.
    Who is careful chooses something, who does not…
    I do not know how many students are in a school, here come close 10.000 visitors per day, 2-3% of them ask questions in 80% of cases, the answer was in the tutorial, it means loss of time means less time tutorials less.

I 2 2 + hdd sata hdd ide on the 2 7 and I win xp. I did well or be as shown 2? Now these two hdd in bios SATA SCSI I appear. It's ok right?

  37. Hello there I am not msahci cristi nor princely pciide but somehow I have to defend my raid? I went in registry editor and start I have installed windowsu 3.Cand value I selected raid 0 which consists of HDD windowsu sites and keep him on ssd Ahac not to be activated?

  38. Hello videotutorial.M and I have faced a problem with a sata hard 2. I researched on the internet and saw that a SATA hard 2 running on a motherboard like mine that only separation from the other performance is 1 sata port. I tried to jump to other drives and the same (hard drives made by the same company) was not recognized. I managed to do it eventually to recognize raid somewhere I could not give as saying that more use should 1 hard. So I got to go back and HDD stay on ide. I would ask the team to make a nice tutorial on the subject sata compatibilities. Thank you!

  39. For I say that SSDs are worth activate HDD AHCI but no obs for a raise performance, I did a test a HDD:
    Active AHCI->

  40. Bravo Guys, super-tutorial… enlightening! In the time of XP I tried in countless ways to activate AHCI and it didn't let me, in Windows 7 it went like a although I was heartbroken like a flea, for fear that it would fail and in this way, but it didn't work, it took the drivers, asked for a restart and now I have AHCI.

    Respect.

  41. Any tutorial on SSDs and how performance can be improved computer settings. software, etc.. is welcome. From my sincere thanks. If not asking too much I would like to know more about ssd's behavior, if for example any utility can be run or if there are contraindications such defrag. c.cleaner etc.. Personally I bought a OCZ VERTEX 2 but I have not installed yet.

  42. I also tried bootmanager repair, but it says, "Startup Repair can't repair this computer automatically." So so far I have tried everything you say on the site.

Cristi tutorial please if you do not change AHCI drivers look like AMD's AHCI drivers, something that everyone noticed and tutorials uita.Am integration with nLite as referred to only as amd or intel exista.Toate not taken pictures on the net that claim they support AHCI and RAID had only intel.Nu can say that I managed to solve the problem with the introduction of the AMD drivers, but want to be remembered that AMD's AHCI support is required for the AMD branded laptops in general.

    I have an ASUS motherboard M2A-VM and I wanted to ask if you know, where I enable AHCI in the BIOS, as I have not found one, if you can please tell me and me. Dear!

  50. I really do not understand why the double set has one in BIOS and another in Windows (Vista or 7)!
    In my laptop, once the BIOS run in AHCI is activated, in Windows 7 there is no need to change anything! That value, in the registers, in Windows, running in AHCI already exists, without anyone having intervened after installation ?! Then, in which cases is it necessary to activate Windows as well, if, I suppose, the BIOS determines Windows, after installation to run with the AHCI activated ?! The tutorial is a bit incomplete, due to the lack of details above in my opinion.

    Aaaa… and let's not forget… to answer vicentiu (November 29, 2010 at 03:41):
    Is not just a legend and shows how ignorant you are away saying that there are major differences between running in AHCI and IDE emulation! Try the same computer on which you install, first in Win XP first and then try in IDE emulation mode AHCI, after that, try any other OS after Win XP (obviously, all with the original operating system, not cracks look otherwise it is more than obvious where your frustration comes to you!) and you will definitely see big differences!

A little tutorial to incomplete due to lack of the foregoing ... mea.Aaaa opinion ... and not to forget ... i respond too vicentiu (November 29 2010 to 03: 41) is not just a legend and shows far how ignorant you are saying that there are major differences between running in AHCI and IDE emulation!

      If you have enabled AHCI in the BIOS and want to install an operating system, if you use Windows XP you will not be able to install it (in most cases, because Windows XP did not know when it was made by AHCI and so it has no AHCI drivers) if you have activated it and you want to install vista or windows 7, they know about AHCI and have several drivers for some chipsets (there are also cases when some motherboards use more "delicate" chipsets and drivers what comes into view or 7 are not enough and still will not allow you to install AHCI) In this case all you have to do is look for the drivers for that chipset and include them in the ISO image or disable AHCI. What was shown in the tutorial with activating from the registers is valid only if you stopped the AHCI when installing the windows in the BIOS and then you change your mind and want to install / use the AHCI.

      If installing Win Vista 7 and had AHCI enabled in BIOS, no need to do that showed Cristi registry.

      The reason that many thought before the laptop was not working vista install than the AHCI, because Vista knows to see him and he has included drivers and xp does not. Even today in many laptop models can not install XP just because of this (laptops come with AHCI enabled in the BIOS by default, especially if they have pre-installed on a Vista or Windows 7), but if I disable AHCI or include the AHCI drivers in the ISO image, you will not have this problem and you can install XP without any problem

      I will answer short:
      1) I have done that for a long time, I have learned from this site AHCI.
      2) no longer use XP 3 years. Use Windows 2 7 years, 2 years ago I bet you never knew existed.

        You lose the bet! I use Vista and longer and Win 7 currently, which is why I knew the AHCI. Starting with Win Vista and for Win Vista ripe native S-ATA HDDs!

          I understand very well. I said years ago you did not know the Windows 2 7 and not AHCI. I had the IDE and AHCI am a very long time. And there is no difference. Considering that the tutorial is on the SSD test, this test is totally irrelevant. How owning this? Considering that tutorials are designed for beginners mainly test should be done on a HDD. I tell you that many of those who want to learn on this site do not know CEW's that SSD.

      Yes, and Ubuntu or Linux in general knows about AHCI and NCQ (if the hard drive supports it) through the "libata" library. Maybe I'll do a tutorial on how to enable NCQ in Linux depending on how many will ask for this…

  52. very good tutorial!! I've got two questions, namely:
    1.ne can make a tutorial about RAID?
    2. I have a sata / raid array enabled in the BIOS on RAID… does that mean it has AHCI set by default?
    Thanks for understanding! gigel

  53. Thanks for the tutorial, now expect similar one for Windows XP.

      Buga Viorel: I 7 ultimate windows and I can not manage to enable AHCI in the BIOS. Someone help me? Thank you.  

      It was clearly stated in the tutorial where you need to enter and what you need to do. If you do not have such a thing in the BIOS, it means that your motherboard does not have AHCI support and that is enough. I recommend you watch the tutorial with "some brief explanations about the BIOS" that you can find with the search box on the top right

  55. very interesting and instructive is what I found
    I have a problem and do not know how to fix it VAM found
    unleptop asus and when I go to check if I give the microphone goes ok
    but when it get on yahoo to make video called or called name go
    gives me every time he could not find link at the microphone
    I did ferificarea at Yahoo for audio and vidio and there just is not giving me the microphone. nustiu what to do expect a sfat.tin to say that I scimabat and microphones and the same problem thank you in advance

  56. I forgot to specify that I have a window vista

    • carmen: I forgot to specify that I have a window vista  Cite me

      My opinion is that the audio driver is not installed correctly or completely (forget if you have the audio manager installed)… usually, when you can hear others and they not you, that's the problem… good luck!

    I recently bought an SSD similar to the tutorial just lower it later version 1 Solid State Drive (SSD) OCZ OCZSSD2-1VTX60G, 60GB, SATA II Reading Writing 230 135

      Your opinions  

      These SSDs are also of many kinds !! if you got an SSD it does not mean that you will fly. Just like on normal HDDs you beat your wife waiting for a 32 M Buffer WD Caviar Green Hard Disk (which should normally be scribble to read reading) to write and read and another 16 M Buffer Hard Disk takes out a much higher speed for writing and reading for SSDs as well, not everything that is written on it SSD will have the same speeds that it took out cr it matters a lot about the type of chips used, the technologies used. we have several tutorials on what SSD means. One that really explained what an SSD is, how does it work… did you look at it?
      Search this tutorial search box top right: What is an SSD and you can do compared to a standard Hard Disk

  58. Plus I have the following errors and Results of tests
    http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/5389/erorcopy.jpg

    Is the fact their hardu I formatted?

  59. I know practically Tutotialul thence I started iteresez of ssduri.
    Mine is vertex 1 and crystal has vertex2. I personally seem much difference between tests so I asked here what.
    Suspected to be not in fact their not I formatted before installation.

    Thank you

    Thank you from the bottom of my heart to Cristian for the tutorial on activating AHCI on an already installed windows. Finally, through the tutorial, I managed to do what many "specialists" have not been able to do for 2 years since I try to solve this problem. Their answer, like many others found on the forums. it was that this was not possible with windows installed. But I still have some doubts that I'm not 100% sure yet. I have 2 hard drives (a WDC WD3000GLFS-01F8U0 on which the OS is installed and a WDC WD6400AAKS-00A7B0, both with NCQ) and a M3N-HT Deluxe Mempipe motherboard that has SATA II.
    My questions are:
    1). After enabling AHCI in the BIOS's have NCQ enabled separately from somewhere else or he's automatically activates AHCI enabled site itself?
    2). What is the connection between AHCI and SATA? Before activating the AHCI in Bios I was on IDE, now that I have changed on AHCI, to understand that I am on SATA?… Or do I have to do something else for that, or to look for and install SATA drivers ?. The moment I restarted, I saw that win automatically searched for and installed a series of drivers. Do I understand that he took everything he needed and I don't have to do anything?
    I ask those who know how to forgive my ignorance. Thanks in advance for answers.

  62. Cristian said

    I did not msahci registry probably not support my board, I have no idea. My card is gigabyte 73PVM-S2H, I looked on the site but it shows nothing plaque details about AHCI, yet in the book motherboard am so in addition after you install Windows startup always greets me something like: if I want to set BIOS SATA to AHCI. Once I gave yes and no on has me only after I changed the bios back to ide, that after searching information on the net.
    Who I reveal the mystery?

      First you have to determine what browser you want to watch tutorials? Then you tell me what operating system you have? Windows 32 64 bits or bytes? You find this by right-clicking My Computers and then choose from the context menu choose Properties.
      Basically Flash Player must be installed by 2 times there are two versions of the flash player. One used only by Internet Explorer browser and another version of flash player used by other browsers have.
      Flash player for Internet Explorer downloads from HERE (Click on Download Latest Version written in blue on the right page above)
      Flash player for other browsers have a download from HERE
      Now close browsers and uninstall flash player that you have installed. Then install the downloaded version, and only then start the browser. Very important during uninstall or install flash player, browsers must be closed not only minimized in the taskbar.

After enabling AHCI in the BIOS I do not see Windws XP only two SATA HDDs connected on-jacks purple and ATA HDD. SATA HDD connected on yellow jacks are not seen. In Windws 7 are all seen. It can solve the problem of Windws XP? (I found on google some ways it does not work either).

I enabled AHCI just like in the tutorial, and in AIDA64 at * Storage - ATA - ATA device features * Native Command Queuing is checked, and it looks SUPPORTED, but it doesn't look supported-enabled or supported-disabled like other features, it's normal or NCQ does it still need to be activated somewhere?

In device manager I looked and are on IDE controller and the BIOS is set to IDE. 100 times I searched the registry and found no msahci (and please do not tell me to get another look) is certainly another problem and please help me I do not want to reinstall the operating system if it is possible to make windows.
    Thank you!

    if you use windows as you wrote 8 then msahci not find registry on win8 is storahci (in the same section where you were looking msahci).

  86. Hi Cristi, I appreciate your work and the way you present your work. You are the only one in Romania and the first in this field. I have a question… .is the activation of AHCI done only on SSDs? Or also on normal HDDs? Thanks in advance, I'm waiting for a quick response please.

      Install Windows IDE after installation apply what was shown in the tutorial video above then you restart (only after applying what was shown in the tutorial) and not let Windows to boot, enter the BIOS and move controller acquis on AHCI, save and leave Windows to boot normally. that's about all you need to do

  90. I did as in the tutorial but the windows don't load anymore… a blackscreen remains without a cursor without anything…

  91. And no light showing that the processor works not only when to start flashing ..

  94. Hi Cristi !!! I have an Asus x54c laptop and I just don't know what to do with it! I installed windows 7 home premium on 32 bits from scratch with drivers with everything (I mention that the setting from the bios to the village controller I set on AHCI) and after some time one day I don't know for sure, I wanted to start it and it didn't start… that is, the logo with Asus appears and the dash in the upper left corner, from there it doesn't go on… I want some advice what could I do to them?
