updated motherboard - msahci gone?

[Worthington]

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. 😛

Those are normal for the disk. The storage controller uses MSAHCI.sys (or other).

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.

And yes, you should install the latest Intel RST Drivers.

Do you have the controller running in AHCI or IDE emulation mode?

It's in ACHI mode
