4.1.5 SATA Configuration
The SATA controller of your system supports two (2) operating modes: AHCI and Intel RST
Premium With Intel Optane System Acceleration mode . The AHCI mode, which exposes
SATA's advanced capabilities such as hot swapping and native command queuing, is
supported in several later version of operating systems. The Intel RST Premium With Intel
Optane System Acceleration mode allows the user to greatly accelerate SATA hard drive
read/ write speeds by installing an Optane memory into the M.2 slot. Please refer to the
section “ Intel RST Premium With Intel Optane System Acceleration” for details.
Recommended SATA controller mode settings:

If you’re using Windows Vista, Windows 10, or Linux with kernel 4.15.18 or later, you can
select AHCI mode for better performance.

If you are looking for faster hard drive read/ write performance, please install an SSD
(M.2, mPCIe, SATA) or install an Intel
®
Optane
TM
memory for hard drive acceleration.
