The Software Feature Mask Configuration will appear as below.
RAID 0 is a simple striping of information across two drives. It offers marginal improvements in access times
for substantial sacrifices in system reliability.
RAID 1 offers full data redundancy across two drives, providing significant improvements in data security and
system reliability.
RAID 10 offers the best of both RAID 0 and RAID 1, using four drives to give moderate improvements in disk
access times, but with full mirroring of each drives on two more backup drives to provide full data redundancy
and backup.
RAID 5 is a three-disk-or-more array where data is striped and parity is distributed and reduplicated across all
drives. This enables the array to sustain the failure of one of the drives without the loss of any data, and without
the array going down. However, with the loss of any single drive the array performance will decrease. Also,
when configuring a RAID 5 architecture, remain aware of the potential for encountering the RAID 5 write hole
problem, and take precautions against it.
Serial ATA Port 0 to 3
This setting allows the user to display information about the installed drives.
AHCI SALP
Please note that AHCI SALP will only appear when AHCI mode is selected. This item allows you to enable
aggressive link power management (SALP) in AHCI. SALP enables the host bus adapter to conserve power
by directly detecting when a SATA drive is no longer processing information and then immediately shifting it
into suspended or sleep modes without waiting for software processes to initiate power-down processes.
Host Capability Register bit 26.
Options: Enabled (default), Disabled
SATA Port 0 to 3 - HotPlug
This item allows you to enable/disable hotplug capabilities (the ability to remove the drive while the computer
is running) for installed storage drives.
Options: Disable (default), Enabled
