			NOTE: If USB is selected, ensure that USB Controller setup option under Onboard Devices is set to On.

SATA 0 through			Identifies and enables and disables the drives attached to the SATA connectors on the system board and
SATA n			lists the capacities for the hard drives.
			NOTE: These options appear as SATA 0 through SATA 3 for the mini tower, SATA 0 through SATA 2 for the
			desktop, and SATA 0 and SATA1 for the small form factor.

External SATA			Identifies and enables and disables the drives attached to the eSATA connector on the system board and
			lists the capacities for the hard drives.
SATA Operation			Options for mini tower and desktop computers:
(RAID Autodetect/AHCI default for mini tower			•	RAID Autodetect/AHCI (RAID if signed drives, otherwise AHCI)
and desktop computers)			•	RAID Autodetect/ATA (RAID if signed drives, otherwise ATA)
			• RAID On (SATA is configured for RAID on every boot)
(AHCI default for small form factor computers)
			NOTE: When in Autodetect mode, the computer configures the drive as RAID if a RAID signature is detected
			on the drive. Otherwise the drive will be configured as AHCI or ATA.
			Options for small form factor computers:
			•	AHCI
			•	ATA

SMART Reporting			This setting determines whether integrated drive errors are reported or not during system startup.
