Z87E-ITX

75

English

4.4.3  Storage Coniguration

SATA Controller(s)

Enable/disable the SATA controllers.

SATA Mode Selection

IDE: For better compatibility.

AHCI: Supports new features that improve performance.

RAID: Combine multiple disk drives into a logical unit.

SATA Aggressive Link Power Management

SATA Aggressive Link Power Management allows SATA devices to enter a low 

power state during periods of inactivity to save power. It is only supported by AHCI 

mode.

Dynamic Storage Accelerator

Keep this option enabled for higher HDD and SDD I/O performance, lower latency 

and increased system responsiveness.

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.
