SATA Port items show Not Present if no SATA device is installed to the corresponding SATA
port.
Scroll down to display the other BIOS items.
SATA Mode Selection [AHCI]
Allows you to set the SATA conguration.
[Disabled] Disables the SATA function.
[IDE] Set to [IDE Mode] when you want to use the Serial ATA hard disk drives as
Parallel ATA physical storage devices.
[AHCI] Set to [AHCI Mode] when you want the SATA hard disk drives to use the

storage performance on random workloads by allowing the drive to
internally optimize the order of commands.

SATA hard disk drives.
