Alienware 14 and new SSD drive
Hello!
I have an Alienware 14 without any mSATA SSD drive. I bought one and placed it into mSATA slot. Then i AOMEI to migrate my all os to my SSD drive (its 120 GB). The system is working correctly, very fast but every time i start my computer i get an information to configure Intel Rapid Storage (before Alienware logo !). I dont want to have any raid, i just use ssd for system and hdd for movies etc.

Should i uninstall IRS drivers becouse i dont use it?
Hi!
That driver is a SATA controller, so is not just for RAID mode, it's also for single drives. Since it's already installed, at this point I wouldn't recommend you uninstall because it can cause boot problems.
If you wan't to read more information about what the Intel Rapid Storage does, go here.
Fot my 17, i added a SSD and moved the original 750 gb hd to the second bay. I tried changing the bios from raid to ahci but received a BSOD. I changed it back and Windows started fine. I also made the changes recommended by Tesla on a separate post. I even changed the regedit from 3 to 0 as mentioned.
Am I missing something?

Please clarify, are you also trying to stop the Intel Rapid Storage message from coming up?

The SSD is an OCZ Vertex 3 by the way....
