[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 AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface). 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. SATA Port 5,6 [AHCI] This item only appears when OnChip SATA Type is set to [AHCI]. If SATA ports 5, 6 are configured as [AHCI], the ports can only be used under Windows® OS with the requested drivers installed. Set to [IDE] instead of [AHCI] to access devices on SATA ports 5, 6 before entering OS. Configuration options: [AHCI] [IDE] SATA Port 5, 6 [RAID] This item only appears when OnChip SATA Type is set to [RAID].
