[edit] no real 'information'
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 dupe is gone now. I concur fully about the lack of information. I've moved this to the top since it's the most important issue with this atricle atm. --62.231.60.207 02:13, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] What is the advantage if AHCI mode was used in SATA?
Can anybody help and answer my queries? thanks —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 210.23.216.194 (talk) 06:03, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

-> This article should say! We really need someone who can explain + reference the advantages. --62.231.60.207 02:13, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Warning relevant?
Half of the article is a warning about Windows's blue screening when the BIOS is changed to use AHCI. Is this actually appropriate for a general purpose Encyclopedia? 67.166.242.232 04:32, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
This article helped me a lot. I think it is needed especially that sometimes some mainboards change the bios setting from ata to ahci by themself only, and then the Windows XP crashes on the boot.--Doxent 11:43, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
- That's nice, but it doesn't mean the information belongs here instead of a Windows help site. 67.166.242.232 12:07, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
-> I disagree: if this is a 'noteable' problem, then it should be mentioned. As per the above though - it's more important that more details be added than we argue over what's already there. I vote the we leave that section as-is. --62.231.60.207 02:13, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] add Linux support section?
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.
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...
-> Added. Renamed the "Limitations" section to reflect it's contents. --62.231.60.207 02:13, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] neutrality
linking to bsod is questionable at least. and no, i'm not a microsoft guy —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 85.182.127.134 (talk) 15:26, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
as a computer technician i have seen the bsod problems related to ahci.
