-===== AES-NI Encryption =====+==== AES-NI Encryption ==== 
 + 
 +If you intend to encrypt the information on your storage drives then you need to enable this in the BIOS. 
 + 
 +This can be useful as it allows a failing HDD in a vdev to be discarded without worrying about wiping the information before disposal. 
 + 
 +Go to the “Advanced” page. 
 + 
 +{{:fester:d8522b3a234972889e6cae3bfea826b5.png}} 
 + 
 +Now navigate to “CPU Configurtion”. 
 + 
 +{{:fester:1a1fa05bff7f91bae574f5788093b363.png}} 
 + 
 +Then scroll down (it is towards the bottom) to “AES-NI” and select “Enable”.

 +==== AHCI SATA Configuration ==== 
 + 
 +There are certain advantages to putting the SATA controller in AHCI mode. By enabling this option any SATA devices connected to the SATA ports on the motherboard will operate in AHCI mode. 
 + 
 +Go to the “Advanced” page. 
 + 
 +{{:fester:d8522b3a234972889e6cae3bfea826b5.png}}
