Question to all (especially Dave Hooton),

Do you have any insight on how I can enable a USB3 disk controller with AHCI enabled vs. the RAID controller now installed?

Here's a picture of my Insyte F.28 BIOS Systems settings options. It turns out HP via Insyte is infamous for hiding routine options that are actually available in the BIOS that lurks underneath Insyte...

If I then select Bootup Options, here's a picture of the menu .The only one I've tried that enabled me to use the SSD at all was OS Boot Manager, at top. Prior to putting it 1st in the list, the system would not recognize the SSD as a bootable device at boot-up (despite cloning the image using several different cloning software apps). (All the installation procedures claimed I should see some sort of SATA 3 disk controller to put 1st. Never saw one.)

And here's a picture of my device manager showing a RAID controller (on a notebook that now has a single drive; before, RAID MIGHT have been helpful for the hybrid Seagate 750Gb drive--with a 10Gb SSD & conventional SATA 3 drive all in the same case). There's no other disk controller that I can find in any part of its lists.

Finally, here's a link to a procedure I tried... Registry settings ARE as recommended. Does anyone have any insights whether to continue looking for a way to enable AHCI (some RAID proponents claim it's already enabled; I can't find evidence either way)? On whether the performance documented in the other thread is what I need to live with?

Thanks much!
