[ltp] SSDs and AHCI?

[Richard Neill]

Dear All,

I'm trying to decide whether to run my SSD (an OCZ core 2) with the SATA 
chip set to AHCI or Compatibility mode.

OCZ recommend using compatibility mode (they point out that AHCI and 
native command queuing is irrelevant for a solid state disk, and it can 
make the performance worse.)

However, that recommendation is aimed at Windows users - does it apply 
to Linux too?

Also, if I don't go for AHCI, then I can't enable 
SATA-link-power-saving. Your thoughts?

Richard
