MCP Storage Config
SATA Operation Mode [IDE]
SATA Operation Mode [IDE]
Sets the configuration for the Serial ATA connectors supported by the
Southbridge chip. Configuration options: [ID�] [RAID] [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, or RAID 10 configuration
from the Serial ATA hard disk drives, set this item to [RAID].
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].
• SATA 5–6 connectors support AHCI mode and RAID mode only. Make sure
to install the AHCI driver or RAID driver in the bundled support DVD before
connecting devices to SATA 5–6 connectors. Otherwise, the devices will not
work.
• Due to chipset limitation, when you set any of the SATA ports to IDE, AHCI
or RAID mode, all SATA ports run at the same mode simultaneously.
