This item is used to set the operating mode of your SATA ports.
[IDE] - This configures the SATA ports to support native IDE mode.
[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 features, 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 have a SATA device, which also supports
AHCI, then you can select IDE option to have fair performance (only PATA, SATA level), or
you can select AHCI to get its best performance.
