Hi:

 

Unfortunately, that cannot be done.

 

The good news is, there is no difference in the performance between RAID and AHCI as long as you have the latest version of the Intel RST driver installed from your notebook's support page.

 

That driver provides full SSD support (including TRIM) in RAID mode.

 

See this discussion...

Hi Paul,

 

On my Pavilion p6510f the BIOS does have an option to switch between RAID and AHCI, but when I switch from RAID to AHCI (in an attempt to enable TRIM using Crucial Storage Executive) Windows falls into Startup Repair which ultimately concludes "Startup Repair cannot repair this computer automatically" -- flipping back to RAID is fine but then Crucial Storage Executive complains that it can't do anything with the SSD.

 

In the other thread you said "if you install the latest Intel RST driver, that is supposed to provide TRIM support ... even in RAID mode" but it seems that I have AMD RAID, not Intel. Any suggestions? Maybe I need to wipe the SSD and clone my partitions back onto it *after* switching to AHCI?
