My new N40L shipped with BIOS 041 Installed dated 7/25/11.
In the Bios, version 041
IDE Configuration
--SATA Controller Mode
--IDE
--RAID
--AHCI
AHCI is enabled as standard
There is also settings for Sata Link Rate, default is AUTO. Also 1.5Gps Max, and 3.5Gps Max
Drive write Cache is off as standard.
So by the looks of it, AHCI is enabled for all connected SATA devices. Is this right?
Is there no need to update BIOS for the SATA connection in the optical bay to get full speed? Can anyone confirm if this new BIOS remedies the need to flash the BIOS to get full speed on a fifth drive.
