AHCI vs IDE Emulation for SATA

^whitey^ · 2006-12-08 14:45:15

If IDE Emulation is used (in the bios) as opposed to AHCI mode (which requires pre-install drivers or the mobo/windows wont see the sata drives AFAIK) is there much of a performance hit if any?

Extra bells and whistles like NCQ are only supported under AHCI, apparently.
