SATA Mode Selection
IDE: For better compatibility.
AHCI: Supports new features that improve performance.

SATA Aggressive Link Power Management
SATA Aggressive Link Power Management allows SATA devices to enter a low
power state during periods of inactivity to save power. It is only supported by AHCI
mode.
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.
