If you installed SATA storage devices, you can create a RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 configuration
with the Intel
® Rapid Storage Technology through the onboard Intel ® Z590 chipset.
• The slots are set to [AHCI Mode] 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 a device in SATA mode is installed on the M.2_2 socket, SATA6G_2 port
cannot be used.
• When a device is installed on the M.2_3 socket, SATA6G_56 ports cannot be used.
• Before creating a RAID set, refer to the
RAID Configuration Guide
. You can
download the RAID Configuration Guide from the ASUS website.
