1. The nVidia nForce 630a chipset supports ACHI mode.
2. Update the BIOS to the latest.
3. Go to BIOS and find "nVidia RAID Function" and select Enable . This is SATA AHCI Mode.
4. If Windows is already installed and you switched to SATA AHCI Mode, you will get a "blue window" the next time you boot Windows. How to update drivers for ACHI mode is a different story.

The chipset, apparently, can still do AHCI. But ASUS does not provide such a setting for this board in the BIOS, and the controller remains in IDE emulation mode. What to do: suffer.
The drive should work, but without TRIM, it will noticeably drop in performance. However, under these conditions, the Barefoot 3 controller is far from the worst option: www.fcenter.ru/online/hardarticles/hdd/37859-Tverd...
Then, I have rather big doubts that the board and your processor can handle 8GB of memory. Perhaps only 4GB sticks can do the maximum.
