The Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) specification describes the register-level interface for a host controller for Serial ATA. The specification includes a description of the interface between system software and the host controller hardware. This specification is intended for hardware component designers, system builders, and device driver (software) developers.
Implementation of the Advanced Host Controller Interface specification requires a license from Intel. Contributors of the Advanced Host Controller Interface specification for Serial ATA have signed the Advanced Host Controller Interface specification for Serial ATA - contributors agreement in order to be licensed to use and implement this specification. This contributors agreement provides Contributors with a reciprocal, royalty-free license to certain intellectual property rights from Intel and other Contributors for their products that are compliant with the licensed versions of the Advanced Host Controller Interface specification for Serial ATA.

Intel intends to continue including suitable inputs, comments, and suggestions from contributors to refine and update the Advanced Host Controller Interface specification through a series of specification releases that will be marked as being revision 1.x of the specification. Licensing of the applicable final specification of the AHCI Specification (as defined in the contributors agreement) allows the implementation of both discrete and integrated compliant AHCI host controllers. Licensing of the applicable draft version of the applicable specification level (also defined in the contributors agreement) will allow the implementation of compliant, discrete AHCI host controllers only.
The latest revision of the specification is revision 1.3. Subsequent revision 1.x levels of the specification will be completed by Intel at its discretion as time and circumstances permit.
I have an I5 Ivy-Bridge (B75 chipset) system. Windows 10 is up and running (fresh install) and I've been able to load all but the correct SATA drivers - still using the 'Standard' AHCI SATA driver that windows installed.
Asus hasn't released a new Windows 10 SATA driver for their B75 motherboards yet. Hell, they just posted the Intel MEI chipset driver a couple days ago, and I had to get the VIA audio driver directly from the VIA website.
I'm wondering if that standard windows SATA driver is going to cause any performance issues. I noticed all the 8-series and newer chipset based motherboard drivers have been updated on the Asus website (and other manufacture websites too), but the 7-series (Ivy Bridge) based motherboards have very few drivers updated. Are motherboard manufacturers even planing on fully supporting their 7-series motherboards? So far support has been sporadic at best...
Appreciate any feedback...
