My new laptop has an Intel chipset. The official driver package only changes the disk controller's name in the device manager, while still using Microsoft's msahci driver. But the "real" one (iaStor) can be obtained through other sources, and installs and works fine.
Which one do you suggest I use for maximum performance? I ran a benchmark on both drivers; msahci was a handful of MB/s faster than iaStor under the same conditions, then slightly slower. I have already done a search on the Internet, and expectedly found arguments for and against both.
