I'm planning to buy an Intel G2 SSD soon and have heard that it performs significantly better on AHCI mode (NCQ on). The problem is that my motherboard (Asus P5K SE EPU) is only ICH9 and bios doesn't support AHCI. (Only IDE option in bios)
My question is if I get a separate PCI Express adapter that supports AHCI and NCQ, would that enable me to use the SSD in AHCI mode? If not, is there any other way to get AHCI short of buying a new motherboard?
