So...hopefully my last question here about this. Everything seems to be running smoothly after the format, but my backup external hard drive is having all sorts of issues transferring files. It randomly disconnects every 10 seconds or so during a transfer which is very painful to constantly click through, and I worry it's going to mess up files.

I get the feelings it's related to the earlier IDE/AHCI issue, so I guess my question is...can I change that drive separately to AHCI, or is it something worse like the drive messing up? Thanks!

EDIT: I just transfered 5 GB from the external drive to my now formatted HDD with no problems. Is it possibly transferring to the SSD that's the issue?

EDIT2: Okay, just for record keeping...I can daisy chain the files from HDD to HDD then SDD with no problems... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Forget I asked!
