[Host]
If you want to use the Serial ATA hard disk drives as Parallel ATA physical
storage devices, keep the default setting [IDE Mode].
If you want to create a RAID 0, RAID 1, or RAID 10 set from the Serial ATA
hard disk drives, set this item to [RAID Mode].
If you want the Serial ATA hard disk drives to use the Advanced Host
Controller Interface (AHCI), set this item to [AHCI Mode]. The AHCI allows

increases storage performance on random workloads by allowing the drive
