Ubuntu Linux - SATA 3.0 SSD - AHCI vs. IDE Benchmarking an OCZ Serial ATA 3.0 (SATA3) Solid-State Drive (SSD) on Ubuntu 12.10 development snapshot with the Linux 3.5 kernel when comparing the AHCI and IDE modes for the SATA drive as controlled from the BIOS/UEFI. Benchmarking by Michael Larabel for a future article on Phoronix.com.
