Chapter 5: BIOS setup

The AHCI allows the onboard storage driver to enable advanced Serial ATA 

features that enhance storage performance on random workloads by allowing the 

drive to internally optimize the order of commands.
If you want the Serial ATA hard disk drives to use the Advanced Host Controller 

Interface (AHCI), set this item to [AHCI]. For details on AHCI, go to: 

 

www.intel.com/support/chipsets/imst/sb/CS-012304.htm

 

www.intel.com/support/chipsets/imst/sb/CS-012305.htm
The SATA controller is set to Native mode when this item is set to [RAID] or [AHCI].
