Intel Desktop Board DH77EB Technical Product Specification 

26

 

The underlying SATA functionality is transparent to the operating system.  The SATA 

controller can operate in both legacy and native modes.  In legacy mode, standard IDE 

I/O and IRQ resources are assigned (IRQ 14 and 15).  In native mode, standard PCI 

Conventional bus resource steering is used.  Native mode is the preferred mode for 

configurations using the Windows* XP and Windows 7 operating systems.   

 

NOTE 

Many SATA drives use new low-voltage power connectors and require adapters or 

power supplies equipped with low-voltage power connectors. 
For more information, see: 

http://www.serialata.org/

 

For information about  

Refer to

1.5.4.1

 

SATA RAID 

The board supports Intel Rapid Storage Technology which provides the following RAID 

(Redundant Array of Independent Drives) levels via the Intel H77 Express Chipset: 

 

RAID 0 - data striping 

 

RAID 1 - data mirroring 

 

RAID 0+1 (or RAID 10) - data striping and mirroring 

 

RAID 5 - distributed parity

 Smart Response Technology is a disk caching solution that can provide improved 

computer system performance with improved power savings. It allows configuration of 

a computer system with the advantage of having HDDs for maximum storage capacity 

with system performance at or near SSD performance levels. 
For more information on Intel Smart Response Technology, go to 

http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/sb/CS-032826.htm

 

 

NOTE 

In order to use supported RAID and Intel Smart Response Technology features, you 

must first enable RAID in the BIOS. Also, during Microsoft Windows XP installation, you 

must press F6 to install the RAID drivers. See your Microsoft Windows XP 

documentation for more information about installing drivers during installation. 

Microsoft Windows 7 includes the necessary RAID drivers for both AHCI and RAID 

without the need to install separate RAID drivers using the F6 switch in the operating 

system installation process.
