Thank you for your help, But I have two questions:
1. Do you set the option "SATA Mode" to [AHCI] or [IDE]?
2. Does your SSD support NCQ function?

Regards


Do NOT use IDE mode with ANY drive, SSD or HDD.

I consider AHCI to be a given, a requirement. Now that we have NVMe SSDs, AHCI is the minimum requirement for a SATA SSD.

If you had a very old HDD that did not support AHCI, then you might be stuck using IDE mode. I would NEVER use any drive that did not support AHCI.

NCQ, which is one feature included in the AHCI specification, was created before SSDs existed.

An Intel G45 chipset board I had years ago (even older than your H61 board) supported AHCI mode, and I used that with the Intel G2 X-25M SSDs. Yes, this SSD supported AHCI and NCQ. That was before SATA III existed.

AHCI and NCQ are not new, and was originally designed by Intel to increase the performance of HDDs. NCQ actually works better with SSDs than with HDDs.

If an SSD did not support NCQ, I would never use it. I know of one very old SSD that did not support NCQ. It was a failure and no one made that mistake again.

The new NVMe protocol used with PCIe SSDs, improves upon the basic idea of NCQ, and surpasses the performance of AHCI many times over.

Thank you,


Those two SSDs are standard SATA III SSDs, so should work fine in that board.

The H61 chipset is SATA II only, which may be why you are asking if the SSDs will work in this board.

All SATA III SSDs should work when connected to a SATA II interface. I've done that with a P67 board, that had some SATA II ports, and the SSDs worked fine.

All SATA III SSDs should be compatible with a SATA II connection. If not, the problem is the SSD, not the board.
