"good" SATA2 drivers for PCIe JMB360 controller?
Hello,
I have a board with an onboard SATA2 connector. I put a SATA2 disk on it, and when I installed vista (with the controller in SATA mode in the bios (asrock 939Dual-SATA2 board)), Vista detected the controller and loaded a default driver, and the install took about 3 hours. The windows experience disk performance rating was 2.2. I changed the controller mode to IDE in the bios (which required a reinstall of Vista), but it was way way faster. Now I have a disk performance rating of 5, but the disk is running in IDE UDMA-6 mode (equiv to SATA150). I suppose the question is, does anyone know if a suitable SATA2 controller driver exists for Vista that doesnt suck the way the controller driver that is bundled with Vista does? I would like to be able to harness the full speed of the SATA2 disk that is in my system. Thanks, - NuTs |
