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]. The AHCI allows the onboard storage driver to enable advanced Serial ATA features that increases storage performance on random workloads by allowing the drive to internally optimize the order of commands.

If you want to create RAID sets with LSI MegaRAID utility, or Intel® Rapid Storage Technology Enterprise from the Serial ATA hard disk drives, set this item to [RAID Mode].

Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enhanced] [Compatible]

Serial-ATA Controller 1 [Enhanced]

This item appears only when you set the SATA Mode item to [IDE Mode]. Set to [Enhanced] to support two SATA 3.0 Gb/s devices. Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enhanced]
