Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]

Allows you to set the SATA configuration.
[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 configuration 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.

SATA Port5-Port6

Setting this item to [IDE] instead of [RAID] or [AHCI] allows the system to 

recognize the optical drives connected to the SATA connectors 5 or 6 when 

installing OS.

If SATA Port1-Port4 is set to [IDE], SATA Port5-Port6 can only be configured as 

[IDE]
