Hello there. so recently I've bought my new SSD the Samsung 850 Evo
I've installed it correctly and then cloned it, first of all I've got to say that I saw massive differences against my 500GB HDD. but when I open the "AS SSD Benchmark" tool I see that the pciide is Bad. I've enabled AHCI from my motherboard and set the values to 0 (On the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. shortened the process but you understand what I mean :))
My Results: http://prnt.sc/e6lmma

(Also on the Samsung Magician program I saw that the AHCI is deactivated for some reason)

How can I possibly get more advantage out of my SSD?. Thanks for the help! :)

Also small update. I saw on the BIOS a Hot Swap feature. should I enable that?

What type of motherboard are you working with? If it only has SATA 2 disk interface (theoretical max of 300MB/s), that could be your limitation?

You don't need the hot swap feature enabled for any reason other than when you want to swap out data drives while the OS is running.

The whole thing with the Samsung Magician not showing AHCI is not something I'm familiar with. I have an 850 Evo and never installed it.
