SATA Configuration
You can use this menu to configure SATA controller and
SATA ports.
SATA Mode Selection
The system supports advanced SATA features such as
AHCI mode.
Item Selection
IDE Mode Set to IDE mode when your want to use the
Serial-ATA hard disk drives as Parallel ATA physical
storage devices.
AHCI Mode Set to AHCI mode when you want the SATA
hard disk drives to use the AHCI (Advanced
Host Controller Interface). The AHCI allows the
onboard storage driver to enable advanced SATA
features that increases storage performance or
workloads where multiple simultaneous read/
write requests are outstanding, most often
occurring in server-type applications (native
command queuing). It also facilitates hot
swapping.
Disable Disable the SATA controller.
Staggered Spin-up
Spin-up can be employed to prevent the excessive power-
consumption of spin-up from resulting in a power shortage
in computers with multiple hard drives. Staggered spin-up
typically starts one drive at a time, either waiting for the
drive to signal it is ready or allowing a predefined period
of time to pass before starting the next drive. Select to
enable or disable this feature.
