port.
SB SATA Configuration
Allows you to set SATA options.
OnChip SATA Channel [Enabled]
Allows you to enable or disable serial ATA.
Conguration options: [Enabled] [Disabled]
The following items appear only when you set OnChip SATA Channel to [Enabled].
SATA Port1 - Port4 [AHCI]
[IDE] Set to [IDE] when you want to use the Serial ATA hard disk drives as
Parallel ATA physical storage devices.
[AHCI] Set to [AHCI] when you want the SATA hard disk drives to use 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 hard disk drives.
