[IDE] -
This configures the device to support legacy Parallel ATA mode (slower speed), or
SATA which runs at a higher speed.
[AHCI] -
The Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) specification describes the register
level interface for a Host Controller for Serial ATA. The specification includes a description of
the hardware/software interface between system software and the host controller hardware.
AHCI provides more advanced features including SATA funtionalities, but some SATA drives
may not support AHCI, unless they are labeled with AHCI support in its specification.
If your motherboard supporting AHCI, and you also have a SATA device which supporting
AHCI, then you can configure this BIOS setting as a normal IDE device to have a fair
performance (only PATA, SATA level), or you can configure it as AHCI to get its best
performance.
