That brings up a question...what *should* it be? It was set in the BIOS to IDE. As I understand it, to get the most speed/features out of these drives, it should be set to AHCI, correct? Also, I've already done a couple OS installs on these drives, so it would appear changing the setting to AHCI will cause me to reinstall those OS's.
