My motherboard is Intel DG41TY and it does not support AHCI. How much would IDE mode + SATA 2 be slower comparing to ideal case AHCI+SATA 3? If it is much slower for SDD case, then would it be a good idea for me to get SSHDsince it is little bit more expensive than HDD but still can give me a good speed improvement even though not as good as SDD?
