[IDE] Set to [IDE] when you want to use the Serial ATA hard disk drives as
Parallel ATA physical storage devices.
[RAID] Set to [RAID] when you want to create a RAID conguration from the SATA
hard disk drives.
[AHCI] Set to [AHCI] when you want the SATA hard disk drives to use the AHCI
(Advanced Host Controller Interface). 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.

This item only appears when OnChip SATA Type is set to [RAID]. If SATA ports 5, 6,
7, and the eSATA port are congured as [RAID], the ports can only be used under OS
with driver installed. Set to [IDE] instead of [RAID] to access devices on SATA ports 5,
6, 7, and the eSATA port before entering OS. Conguration options: [RAID] [IDE]
