If you want to use the Serial ATA hard disk drives as Parallel ATA physical
storage devices, set this item to [IDE Mode].
If you want the Serial ATA hard disk drives to use the Advanced Host Controller
Interface (AHCI), keep the default setting [AHCI Mode]. The AHCI allows the
onboard storage driver to enable advanced Serial ATA features 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].
