9 I just built a rig with a Gigabyte mobo. Mine has setting like yours.
10 I asked on here and was told that AHCI is the "new way" to do things.
11 So, I set mine to that and it has worked fine.

13 The only issue I did have is not being able to boot from a CD/DVD with
14 it set to AHCI. No idea why that matters. My DVD drive is SATA too. I
15 need to play with that more later on. See if it was that or something
16 else that I missed. Thought I would mention that just in case you try
17 to boot a CD or something and get a nasty error message or something.
18 May want to file that in the back of your brain for future reference.
