If you installed SATA storage devices, you can create a RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 configuration
with the Intel
®
Rapid Storage Technology through the onboard Intel
®
Z590 chipset.
• The connectors are set to [AHCI Mode] by default. If you intend to create a SATA
RAID set using these connectors, set the SATA Mode item in the BIOS to [Intel RST
Premium with Intel Optane System Acceleration (RAID)].
• When a device in SATA mode is installed on the M.2_2 slot, SATA6G_2 port cannot
be used.
• Before creating a RAID set, refer to the RAID Configuration Guide. You can
download the RAID Configuration Guide from the ASUS website.
