MCP Storage Config
SATA Operation Mode
SATA Operation Mode [IDE]
Allows you to select the onboard Serial ATA type.
Configuration options: [IDE] [RAID] [AHCI]
•
If you want to use the Serial ATA hard disk drives as Parallel ATA physical
storage devices, keep the default setting [IDE].
•
If you want the Serial ATA hard disk drives to use the Advanced Host
Controller Interface (AHCI), set this item to [AHCI]. 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.
•
If you want to create a RAID 0, 1, 0+1, 5, or JBOD configuration from the
Serial ATA hard disk drives, set this item to [RAID].
•
SATA 5-6 connectors support AHCI mode and RAID mode only. Make sure
to install the AHCI driver or RAID driver in the bundled support DVD before
connecting devices to SATA 5-6 connectors. Otherwise, the devices will not
work.
•
Due to chipset limitation, when set any of SATA ports to RAID mode, all
SATA ports run at RAID mode together.
