Q. about setting SATA 2 for optical drives Sat Mar 26, 2011 6:52:41 AM#151577Perm Link
I will be using a Mobo http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3756#ov that has 2 SATA 2 sockets that I plan to use for my optical drives. The default is set to IDE and I think that is correct for optical drives but to be sure; should I change that to AHCI ?
