AHCI works fine with the Intel SATA controller. However, if AHCI is enabled on the Marvel SATA controller in the bios, Windows hangs during startup. Windows will boot if the Marvell SATA ports are set to IDE. Has anyone been successful in getting AHCI mode to boot with the Marvel SATA controller?
OS: Windows 7 64-bit SP1
CPU: i7-2700k
Motherboard: DZ68BC
Bios version: 0028 (latest)
Intel controller:
SATA0: Intel 520 180GB SSD
SATA1: OCZ Agilty 3 60 GB SSD
Marvell controller:
SATA2: Seagate Barracuda Green 2TB SATA
SATA3: OCZ Agility 3 60 GB SSD
Marvell 91xx SATA Controller driver version: 1.2.0.1019 (latest)
A couple of notes that might be useful. Windows will boot when the Marvel controller is set to AHCI if the drives attached to it are unpartioned and unformatted. Further, I have tried different combinations of drives between the Intel and Marvell controller and all drives work on the Intel controller.
Any help is appreciated!
