Configure SATA as [IDE]
Sets the configuration for the Serial ATA connectors supported by the Intel ® NM10
chipset. Configuration options: [IDE] [AHCI] [Disabled]
• 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.

This item appears only when you set the previous item to [IDE].
