    I just installed the m4 crucial 128gb SSD

    I was wondering if anyone knew how to enable AHCI mode on the dv6t-6100?

    Also, anyone know any other tweaks I need to use to get this SSD running optimally?

    Thanks!

    It should be automatically activated.

    - Go to start and in the search box type in regedit.
    - Hit enter
    - Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/Msahci
    - Look at "start" in the right pane. If there is a bracketed (0) at the end of the sting, then it's already activated and you're good to go.

    You can check to make sure trim is working by...

    Go to the Command prompt and type > fsutil behavior query disabledeletenotify

    DisableDeleteNotify = 1 (Windows TRIM commands are disabled)
    DisableDeleteNotify = 0 (Windows TRIM commands are enabled)
