Configure SATA As [IDE]
Sets the configuration for the Serial ATA connectors supported by the
Southbridge chip.
If you want to use the Serial ATA hard disk drives as Parallel ATA physical
storage devices, set this item to [IDE].
Set this item to [RAID], if you want to create a RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1, or
software RAID 5 configurations using the Intel
®
Matrix Storage Manager or if
you want to create a RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1 configurations using the LSI
Logic Embedded SATA RAID Setup Utility.
The AHCI allows the onboard storage driver to enable advanced Serial ATA
features that enhance storage performance on random workloads by allowing
the drive to internally optimize the order of commands.
