Motherboards H61 AHCI and TRIM

Hi, just bought my mum the £199 system from ebuyer - I couldn't build one cheaper. It's a very basic system based on an H61 mobo - won't know exactly which one until it turns up.

Anyway, I've decided to upgrade this basic system with a 120gb SSD - just because.

However, one thing I'm worried about - I don't know if the H61 chipset supports either AHCI or TRIM - anyone know ?

 

Think it does.

 

yes it does , its under SATA config;

now if your adding the SSD you`ll want to flip the AHCI switch in windows first

follow that link and download the hotfix

run it and when finished , restart windows and then enable AHCI in bios.


if installing fresh then just enable AHCI first then go for windows

 

Nice one chaps - thanks

It'll be a fresh install, so simpler
