My motherboard (Gigabyte GA-8IPE-1000 Pro2) has no SATA mode menu, but
I believe that it's working in enhanced mode in default configuration.

I found 'mapping sata to ata' menu and configured to map sata disks to
ata1 bus (I think it's legacy mode), and ... disks worked fine!
(successfully copied the entire ports tree twice)
