port.

Set to [RAID] when you want to create a RAID configuration from the SATA

hard disk drives.

[AHCI]

Set to [AHCI] when you want the SATA hard disk drives to use the AHCI

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.

messages during the POST. Configuration options: [Enabled] [Disabled]
