ACHI mode

[MikeandDow]

Have desktop with ryzen 5, 2 hhd spanned into 1 , 1 sumsung ssd,  1 M.2 running op system win 10, ASROCK motherboard X570,  BIOS is set to use ACHI  but when you check device manager IDEATA/ATAPI controllers  shows only AMD SATA Controllers  also check Disk drives M.2 NVMe, SSD SATA, HDD SATA   any idea why ACHI is not showing or controlling disk drives

AMD-SATA supports the standards IDE and ACHI. The naming of the controller does not always reflect what it supports. I would guess Asrock leave the IDEATA/ATAPI controller driver in the hands of Windows 10 these days unless a change is forced by the user.

 

My work bench station has a Ryzen3 on AMD late chipset.  It uses the Microsoft driver named Standard SATA AHCI Controller

First make sure you have all the motherboard "drivers" installed. There is normally one .inf file which helps to recognize the correct devices.

And then I suggest select in the Device Manager: View - Devices by Connection
