SATA Operation Mode

Use this to select SATA Operation Mode. Configuration options: [IDE], [AHCI]

and [Disabled]. The default value is [IDE].

If you select [IDE] mode, the options “SATAII 1,2,3,4 Configuration” and

“SATA5, eSATA 1 Configuration” will appear.

If you select [AHCI] mode, the options “Hot Plug” and “Link Power Manage-

ment” will appear.

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.
