    And is AHCI mandatory for SSD ?

    Where in Win-7 do I find the control setting for AHCI ? (I'm still very much finding my way around this OS, which I only began using fairly recently. Of course, Microsoft's propensity for renaming and relocating a lot of UI things keeps this a challenge.)

    An SSD will work in IDE mode, but it's better to run it in AHCI mode. AHCI supports TRIM.

    AHCI is a BIOS option, assuming the mobo is not too old. Supported by Vista and later Windows operating systems.
