SATA3 PCIe Card (SY-PEX40039)

Does anyone here using this card who doesn't have an AHCI support on their bios? My order for this card is on its way with a Crucial M4 SSD . The problem is, my MB does not support AHCI . Is it going to be fine with this PCIe card? I'm going to install the OS on my SSD btw. So, will I still get the increase in performance without the AHCI mode?

Hi Kev ,
Do you plan to use this card to primary boot your OS from? If you are, I do not believe this card is Bootable.

The card firmware will run the ASM1061 in AHCI mode, irrespective of your BIOS settings for the standard SATA ports.
The SY-PEX40039 has a boot-rom chip and is bootable.
See here for test results with this card.
