Changing IDE/RAID to AHCI
Reference
You should be using ACHI instead of IDE or RAID.
- Run
bcdedit /set {current} safeboot minimalin a cmd prompt with admin - Change to ACHI in UEFI
- Run
bcdedit /deletevalue {current} safeboot
- Reasons not to use Intel Raid
- It is a fake raid managed by the Intel driver.
- It will not be recognized in Linux. It is better to use software RAID on both Windows and Linux.
- See Archwiki: RAID
- You typically run into problems when changing motherboards, and sometimes even just after updating the bios.
- On consumer Intel boards (Z370, Z390), your M.2 slots are wired to your chipset which only has a PCIe x4 connction to your CPU.
- This means you won't receive a significant performance boost if you use RAID 0 on 2 higher-end NVMe SSDs.
