I have a Gigabyte motherboard with the z68 chipset. I have used it for 1.5 years with a normal 1 Tb HDD. Then I have bought a Samsung EVO 840 SSD drive and problems started to arise...
I have a Windows 7 x64 and I use many manually configured applications (music related). Reinstalling everything is not an option.
Does my Samsung SSD support SATA 3Gb/s (SATA II) or SATA 1.5Gb/s (SATA I)? Where do I find the device drivers for my Samsung SSD?

I have a bunch of questions as I could not enable Smart Response (no Accelerate button).
The goal
I am a musician and many of the plugins I use uses samples (some times loading 1 Gb of samples).
Questions
What I did
I had enabled AHCI (through editing registry).
I removed the partition on the SSD as some people said it worked for them, but accelerate button did not show up. Then I made a partition as it worked for some folks. Not for me.

RAPID mode uses your RAM to boost the performance of the SSD. This is NOT the caching as in goal number 1. See also: http://www.tweaktown.com/articles/5628/samsung-840-evo-overview-new-ssds-with-interesting-rapid-mode-cache-tech/index3.html

I have switched to RAID and could finally fire up 'Smart response' mode. I still can use the rest of SSD as an additional disk. It solved the problem.

For some reason my motherboard comes with 4 SATA III 6G connections, but two are 'Controlled by Intel' and the other two are 'controlled by Marvell' (whatever the hell that means...).
The Marvell ones say they only work with hard disk drives and not ATAPI devices, so I was wondering if it is safe to plug in a 'Sandforce driven' SSD into a 'Marvell controlled' SATA port. First of all, I want to know if Marvell and Sandforce play the same role or if they are for different purposes. If they were for the same purpose and I plugged in my SSD into the Marvell port, will they conflict? How does one test if the SSD is being driven by the desired controller? asus p8z68 v pro kingston hyperx 3k 120Gb Comments are closed.
