Configuration options: [Disabled] [IDE Mode] [AHCI Mode] [RAID Mode]
• If you want to use the Serial ATA hard disk drives as Parallel ATA physical
storage devices, keep the default setting [IDE Mode].

increases storage performance on random workloads by allowing the drive
to internally optimize the order of commands.

Storage Technology Enterprise from the Serial ATA hard disk drives, set this
item to [RAID Mode].
