Hello,
I am going to buy a new PC and I am wondering.
Gonna get Crucial 256 GB SSD disc for system only and 3TB Baracuda from Seagate for data.
Before installation of Windows 7, I shall go into BIOS and change the SATA controller from IDE to AHCI since SSDs "like it". But my question is, will it change the controller to AHCI for that HDD aswell? Will it collide somehow or it's OK for HDD to work with AHCI even though it doesn't have NCQ. I know SSDs like AHCI cuz of TRIM.
Also after I change the controller to AHCI, my next step is put inside a DVD with Windows and install it, but should I disconnect my HDD and leave it as that during the installation and install the system on SSD? I read some stuff about GPT and that the things could go wrong if I won't disconnect the HDD during instalation (Cuz I want the system to get installed on SSD).
It sounds weird overall but I dunno, rather I am asking. Better safe than sorry.
Hope you'll answer all my questions and in advance, thanks a lot guys!
Bye
