Drive Headers (SATA)
SATA 6Gb/s is the current standard for an HDD/SSD interface. These ports
are the data interconnect for the motherboard. Your HDD/SSD interface still
requires a separate data cable and a power connection from your power supply.
Intel
®
SATA ports on this 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 mode supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, and 10 through
the Intel
®
controller, and all ports retain full AHCI functionality in RAID
mode.
See Page 67 for RAID levels supported and explanations for how
they work
