Hello,

I noticed this setting in my UEFI BIOS. I know what is Link Power Management for AHCI, but what is the "Aggressive" prefix? What does it mean in functionality? I have it enabled and so far I did not notice any difference.

I have 2 SSDs and a HDD.

I don't suggest messing with this too much, there are Windows 10 bugs with certain drives that cause systems not to boot due to low power states. If system is working, leave it.
I have this issue sometimes that the pc was going directly to bios because it was not detecting my HDD and sometimes my 1tb HDD was also disconnecting for no reason. I checked the sata cables as well as the power output from psu everything was fine. This started happening when my pc shut down due to powercut. Any idea what's the issue? I disabled AHCI after reading in one of the forums. Please let me know if you know why this is happening.
