So, I updated the motherboard in my Windows7-64 Rig from an X48 based Rampage to an X58 based P6X58D-E. Windows redetected everything fine. Been running on it for about a month now. Just the other day though I was looking at the drivers being used for my Intel X2-160GB SSD and I noticed that it's no longer using msachi.sys but instead disk.sys and partmgr.sys. Is there a reason I shouldn't just go in there and tell it to start using msahci. sys again?

Or for that matter just update to the lastest Intel storage driver, which if I remember actually supports TRIM?

Thanks for any insights. :p

Ok. I sorta remember the SSD itself using the msachi but I could be wrong. But I know for a fact the device I checked *only* had the msachi driver and no others.

Checking my storage controllers I see a list of 4 or 5, one of which is msachi. but it's not the only one.
