• If you want to use the Serial ATA hard disk drives as Parallel ATA physical
storage devices, keep the default setting [IDE].
• If you want the Serial ATA hard disk drives to use the Advanced Host

increases storage performance on random workloads by allowing the drive

• If you want to create a RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 10, or the Intel
®

drives, set this item to [RAID].
