SATA Port1–Port4 [AHCI]
Allows you to set the SATA configuration.
[IDE]
Set to [IDE] when you want to use the Serial ATA hard disk drives as
Parallel ATA physical storage devices.
[RAID]
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
