SATA Mode Selection
Use this to select SATA mode. Configuration options: [IDE Mode],
[AHCI Mode], [RAID Mode] and [Disabled]. The default value is
[AHCI Mode].
1. If you want to use RAID mode on SATA ports, please make a
copy of "Serial ATA For Floppy Disk" driver from the support
CD to your USB storage device first.
Browse and Install this driver during the installation of your
operating system, after installing the driver you may continue
to install the operating system.
2. AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface) supports NCQ
and other new features that will improve SATA disk
performance but IDE mode does not have these advantages.
