Controller mode setting for SSD hard drives

[wpshooter]

Is there any hard and fast rule for which controller / bios mode setting to use for SSD hard drives, assuming there there is only one SSD (and no other) hard drive in the system.

Thanks.

No. Depends solely on the OS and RAID preference (assuming that's an option).

How about if OS is Linux Mint version 19 ? Thanks.

Use AHCI mode if possible, for widest compatiblity with modern OSes, and support for NCQ.

If your BIOS only shows IDE or RAID, I typically go with RAID but you don't have to configure any virtual disks (e.g. passthrough)

Choices are:

Raid autodetect / AHCI
Raid autodetect / ATA
Raid ON
Legacy
