GA-8I945PL-G и Intel Matrix Storage Manager <=Max=> писал(а): Intel Matrix Storage Manager нужен на ICH7R (зашит в BIOS контроллера и ставится в Win для мониторинга). Если у Вас нет поддержки SATA RAID, зачем он Вам понадобился? Одним мониторингом там все не ограничивается.

Цитирую из Интеловского FAQ [url=http://support.intel.com/support/chipsets/imsm/sb/cs-021510.htm]Do I need Intel® Matrix Storage Manager if I don't want to use RAID? [/url]Some of the benefits of AHCI include increased performance and new usage models, enabled by features such as Native Command Queuing (NCQ), hot plug, and LPM.

Intel® Matrix Storage Manager, when used in conjunction with a hard drive that supports NCQ and one of the below chipsets, can increase storage performance on random workloads. AHCI is supported by the following I/O controller hubs: Intel® 82801GHM I/O controller hub (ICH7MDH) Intel® 82801GBM I/O controller hub (ICH7M) Intel® 82801GR I/O controller hub (ICH7R) Intel® 82801GH I/O controller hub (ICH7DH) Intel® 82801FBM I/O controller hub (ICH6M) Intel® 82801FR I/O controller hub (ICH6R)
