X25 ACHI - Intel vs MSASCI

[idata]

Hi,

I have X25 80GB G2 and have enabled AHCI and Win 7 installed its own driver (msahci i believe). I ran AS SSD Benchmark utility and my rating jumped to 400. It was at around 200 with IDE drivers. I'm very happy about that.

My question is, would there be any additional benefit installing new Intels drivers vs staying with default msaschi?

I've tried to locate new intels drivers but there's no .exe file in the zip of Intel IRST 9.6.0.1014. Does anyone have a direct link for it?

Windows 7 Pro 64bit

Motherboard; P6T SE X58

X25 SSD 80GB MLC G2

Firmware:2CV102HD

Thanks in advance

Opps, I've corrected spelling in the subject.

For most there is absolutely no noticeable performance gain between the two. The Intel drivers, however, are ideal for RAID volumes.

I noticed that. I figured out how to inatall Intel's driver and bench tested it with MSACHI vs Intels and Intel;s had very slight advantage.

MSACHI = 403 rating

Intel = 409 rating

I will still keep Intels' drivers.

Thanks for your answer
