The SATA 6Gb/s ports allows you to connect SATA devices such as optical disc
drives and hard disk drives via a SATA cable.

with the Intel
®
Rapid Storage Technology through the onboard Intel

• The slots are set to [AHCI] by default. If you intend to create a SATA RAID set using
these connectors, set the SATA Mode item in the BIOS to [Intel RST Premium with
Intel Optane System Acceleration (RAID)] .
• When the M.2_2 Socket is operating in SATA mode, SATA port 2 will be disabled.
• Before creating a RAID set, refer to the
