Set to [AHCI] when you want the SATA hard disk drives
to use AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface).
AHCI allows the onboard storage driver to enable
advanced Serial ATA features that increases storage

Set to [IDE] when you want to use the Serial ATA hard
disk drives as Parallel ATA physical storage devices.
