Keep the system running in IDE mode. Execute the following steps. It should function correctly. Press the Start button, type 'cmd', right-click the output and select Run as administrator. Enter the command and press ENTER: bcdedit /set {current} safeboot minimal (ALT: bcdedit /set safeboot minimal). Restart your computer and enter BIOS Setup. Modify the SATA operation mode to AHCI instead of IDE. Save the changes and exit. The setup will close, and Windows will boot automatically in Safe Mode. Click the Windows Start Menu again. Choose Command Prompt (Admin). Type the command and press ENTER: bcdedit /deletevalue {current} safeboot (ALT: bcdedit /deletevalue safeboot). Restart once more; Windows will start using AHCI drivers by default.

I'm ready to help. Could you clarify which hardware you're referring to? Please share details about the board and drive you're interested in.

Yes, I understand. SSD write speeds can remain slow even with AHCI enabled because factors like controller limitations, wear leveling, and firmware settings often play a role.

Tell me the type of SSD you're using and the current write speeds you're experiencing. Also, provide your complete system specifications so we can analyze other aspects like SATA connection speeds.
