Some operating systems, notably Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10, do not configure themselves to load the AHCI driver upon boot if the SATA controller was not in AHCI mode at the time the operating system was installed. Although this is an easily rectifiable condition, it remains an ongoing issue with the AHCI ...
Windows platform: Microsoft KB982091 ; Microsoft KB931369 ; Microsoft KB924051 ; Linux platform: USB freeze when multiple devices are connected through hub (related to AMD Product Advisory PA_SB600AL1) SATA soft reset fails when PMP is enabled and devices will be not detected (does not apply to A11 and A12 revisions)
When enabled via the AHCI controller, this allows the SATA host bus adapter to enter a low-power state during periods of inactivity, thus saving energy. The drawback to this is increased periodic latency as the drive must be re-activated and brought back on-line before it can be used, and this will often appear as a delay to the end-user.
On the Windows platform, many programs designed to monitor and report S.M.A.R.T. information will function only under an administrator account. BIOS and Windows (Windows Vista and later) may detect S.M.A.R.T. status of hard disk drives and solid state drives, and give a prompt if the S.M.A.R.T. status is bad. [25]
Windows operating systems use acpi.sys [28] to access ACPI events. The 2.4 series of the Linux kernel had only minimal support for ACPI, with better support implemented (and enabled by default) from kernel version 2.6.0 onwards. [29] Old ACPI BIOS implementations tend to be quite buggy, and consequently are not supported by later operating systems.
A 3.5-inch Serial ATA hard disk drive A 2.5-inch Serial ATA solid-state drive. SATA was announced in 2000 [4] [5] in order to provide several advantages over the earlier PATA interface such as reduced cable size and cost (seven conductors instead of 40 or 80), native hot swapping, faster data transfer through higher signaling rates, and more efficient transfer through an (optional) I/O queuing ...

Storage: 1 internal SATA drive bay, accepts 2.5 inch hard disk drives and solid state drives; Optical Drive: LightScribe SuperMulti 8X DVD±RW and 24X CD-RW Combo Drive with Double Layer Support
The ATA standard is supported by both parallel (IDE, PATA) and serial (SATA) ATA hardware. A drawback of the original ATA TRIM command is that it was defined as a non-queueable command and therefore could not easily be mixed with a normal workload of queued read and write operations. SATA 3.1 introduced a queued TRIM command to remedy this. [70]
