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, set this item to [IDE Mode].

that 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].
