[Enabled] : Enable SATA controller. ► OnChip SATA Type This item is used to set the operating mode of your SATA ports. Options : [Native IDE]; [RAID]; [Legacy IDE]; [IDE -> AHCI]. [Native IDE] - This configures the SATA ports to support native IDE mode. [RAID] - When you enable RAID, it means all your SATA drives must also support AHCI. [Legacy IDE] - This configures the SATA ports to support legacy IDE mode which is running for old Windows system . [IDE -> AHCI] - The Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) specification describes the register level interface for a Host Controller for Serial ATA. The specification includes a description of the hardware/software interface between system software and the host controller hardware. AHCI provides more advanced features including SATA features, but some SATA drives may not support AHCI, unless they are labeled with AHCI support in its specification. If your motherboard supporting AHCI, and you have a SATA device, which also supports AHCI, then you can select IDE option to have fair performance (only PATA, SATA level), or you can select AHCI to get its best performance. ► OnBoard Devices / USB Configuration / SuperIO Configuration Press to go to relative submenu. 30
