Windows 7 and Non-AHCI SSD Performance

[gregpod9]

I have a early 2011 13" base MBP and today I bought the Samsung 830 256GB SSD. Windows 7 is not my primary OS, Mountain Lion is my primary OS. I have a question regarding the AHCI driver.
1. I know that AHCI is disabled by default in last year macs and I have no intentions to do the hack to enable it. Will my Samsung 830 256 GB SSD perform decently without AHCI? and will my SSD loose its performance faster?

I am curious about this also. I have a mid-2007 MacBook Pro with Win7 64bit via BootCamp. The hack sounds very unreliable, so Id rather not do it. Are there any other workarounds to this?

I see. Well, does not having AHCI decrease the life of an SSD?

decrease?? no no opposite , it is enhanced controller of SATA II or SATA III by intel
When you have AHCI support in your laptop then you can instal Intel matrix storage manager software .

No, I mean does not having AHCI have any negative affects to the SDD?
