We recommend to use Intel

®

 X79 SATA ports (SATA3_0, SATA3_1 and 

SATA2_0 to SATA2_3) for your bootable devices. This will minimum 

your boot time and get the best performance. But if you still want to 

boot from ASMedia SATA3 controller, you can still enable this in UEFI.

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.
