SATA Mode [IDE Mode]
Allows you to set the SATA configuration.
Configuration options: [Disabled] [IDE Mode] [AHCI Mode] [RAID Mode]
•If you want to use the Serial ATA hard disk drives as Parallel ATA physical storage devices, keep the default setting [IDE Mode].
•If you want the Serial ATA hard disk drives to use the Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI), set this item to [AHCI Mode].
