I had the same question and Neal Pollack <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> told
me that:
: For a built-in motherboard port, legacy mode is not really seen as
: much slower. From my understanding, AHCI mainly adds (in theory) NCQ
: and hotplug capability. But hotplug means very little for a boot disk,
: and NCQ is a big joke, as I have not yet seen reproducible benchmarks
: that show any real measurable performance gain. So I personally think
: legacy mode is fine for now.
I STFW for the topic and I got similar comments on hardware review
sites forums.
Best,
