2.4.6.2 SATA
The PCH has two integrated SATA host controllers that support independent DMA operation
and supports data transfer rates of up to 6.0 Gb/s (600 MB/s) on up to six ports while all
ports support rates up to 3.0 Gb/s (300 MB/s) and up to 1.5 Gb/s (150 MB/s). The SATA
controller contains two modes of operation—a legacy mode using I/O space, and an AHCI
mode using memory space. Software that uses legacy mode will not have AHCI capabilities.
