This is  on a GA-X58A-UD5Rev 2 board with X58A-UD5 FE Bios with AHCI enabled.

The drive has room for 10 SATA drives, as seen in the motherboard layout (From the manual pg 7).
SATA2_0 .. SATA2_5 are on Intel Southbridge, GSATA3_6, GSATA3_7 are on Marvell 9128, and GSATA2_8, GSATA2_9 are on Gigabyte SATA controllers.

The BIOS has a place to enable AHCI for the ICH SATA controller (see attached screenshot).  Does that enable AHCI only on the Southbridge?

How do I enable AHCI on the other SATA controllers (Marvell and Gigabyte)?

Thanks.
