Configure SATA as [IDE]

Sets the configuration for the Serial ATA connectors supported by the

Southbridge chip. Configuration options: [IDE] [RAID] [AHCI]

• If you want to use the Serial ATA hard disk drives as Parallel ATA physical

storage devices, keep the default setting [IDE].

• If you want the Serial ATA hard disk drives to use the Advanced Host

Controller Interface (AHCI), set this item to [AHCI]. 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 a RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 10, or the Intel

®

Matrix Storage Technology configuration from the Serial ATA hard disk

drives, set this item to [RAID].
