Drive Headers (SATA)
SATA3/6G is the current standard for HDD/SSD/Optical interface. These
cables are the data interconnect for the motherboard. Your
HDD/SSD/Optical interface will still require a separate power connection
from your power supply.
Intel
®
SATA ports on the platform natively support full AHCI and RAID
functions. AHCI is enabled by default, but the controller can be put into RAID
mode in the BIOS. RAID is supported for levels 0, 1, 5, and 10 through the
Intel
®
controller (Ports 2, 3, 4, 5), and all ports retain full AHCI functionality in
RAID mode.
RAID is
not
supported on the ASMedia 1061 controller (Ports 6, 7).
See Page 54 for RAID levels supported and explanations for how
they work
