Storage Options
Removable Media Boot
Enables/disables ability to boot the system from removable media.
eSATA Port
Allows you to enable eSATA support. This causes one of the SATA connectors to become eSATA
capable.
Max eSATA Speed
Allows you to choose 1.5 Gbps or 3.0 Gbps as the maximum eSATA speed. By default, the speed
is limited to 1.5 Gbps for maximum reliability.
CAUTION:
Consult your eSATA drive and cable manufacturer before enabling 3.0 Gbps speed.
Some drive and cable combinations may not run reliably at 3.0 Gbps.
SATA Emulation
Allows you to choose how the SATA controller and devices are accessed by the operating system.
There are two supported options: IDE and AHCI.
IDE - This is the most backwards-compatible setting of these options. Operating systems usually do
not require additional driver support in IDE mode.
AHCI (default option) - Allows operating systems with AHCI device drivers loaded to take
advantage of more advanced features of the SATA controller.
NOTE:
The AHCI device driver must be installed prior to attempting to boot from an AHCI
volume. If you attempt to boot from an AHCI volume without the required device driver installed, the
