Setting Up SATA RAID or AHCI Mode
AHCI Mode
Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) is an interface specification that allows
the storage driver to enable advanced serial ATA features such as Native Command
Queuing (for maximum hard disk efficiency and performance). AHCI mode can be
supported by one or two hard disks/solid state drives. Make sure you install the
In-
tel® Rapid Storage Technology application if you have set up your HDDs/SSDs
in AHCI mode (see “Sound Blaster Audio” on page 6 - 37 )
RAID
To configure your RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) system in Strip-
ing (RAID 0) or Mirroring (RAID 1) modes (see
Table 6 - 1, on page 6 - 3 ) you will
require at least two identical (see sidebar) HDDs/SSDs.
Intel
®
Rapid Storage Technology Application
Make sure you install the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology application if you
have set up your HDDs/SSDs in RAID mode (see “Sound Blaster Audio” on
page 6 - 37 ).
Note the following:
• RAID mode with UEFI disabled (legacy mode) does not support PCIe SSDs.
• AHCI mode with the IRST driver installed does not support PCIe SSDs.

RAID Hard Disks/
Solid State Drives
All HDDS/SSDs in a
RAID should be identi-
cal (the same size and
brand) in order to pre-
vent unexpected system
behavior.
SATA Mode
Selection
The SATA mode selec-
tion should be made
be-
fore installing your
operating system
.
DO NOT change your
selected SATA mode
unless you intend to re-
install your operating
system. Make sure you
have backed up all your
data before doing so.
