I have the above motherboard and i have enabled AHCI in the bios for my SATA HDD's under the "IDE Configuration" menu but there is another option that shows up when AHCI has been enabled called ALPE and ASP which is set to disabled by default.
The manual says this about it, "Allows you to enable or disable the Agressive Link Power Management (ALPE) and Agressive Slumber/Partial (ASP) management features. Configuration options: [Disable] [Enable]" but what are these options for and what will happen if i enable this in the bios.
I have two SATA Western Digital Raptors 74GB and two SATA Maxtor DiamondMax 9 80GB HDD's if it is any help, and i have enabled AHCI so i can add a SATAII HDD later with the least amount of fuss.
