• If you want to use the Serial ATA hard disk drives as Parallel ATA physical
storage devices, set this item to [IDE Mode].
• If you want the Serial ATA hard disk drives to use the Advanced Host
Controller Interface (AHCI), keep the default setting [AHCI Mode]. The AHCI

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].
