Drive Headers (SATA)
SATA 6Gb/s is the current standard for an HDD/SSD interface. These ports
provide the data interconnect for the motherboard and HDD/SSD via cable.
Your drive still requires a separate power connection from your power supply.

SATA ports on this platform natively support full AHCI and RAID
functions. RAID mode supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, and 10 through the Intel
®
controller, and all ports retain full AHCI functionality in RAID mode.
The ASMedia SATA ports 6/7 are derived from the secondary SATA controller
to provide additional storage ports. These ports support AHCI and do not
support RAID. These ports are also compatible with some legacy Operating
Systems. However, legacy operating systems may not be compatible with newer
chipsets and processors, so compatibility with the Z790 DARK K|NGP|N
cannot be guaranteed with legacy operating systems.

they work
