8. SATA 6Gb/s connector
The SATA 6Gb/s connector allows you to connect SATA devices such as optical disc
drives and hard disk drives via a SATA cable.
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 M.2_4 is operating in SATA mode, SATA6G_2 will be disabled.
• Before creating a RAID set, refer to the RAID Configuration Guide. You can
download the RAID Configuration Guide from the ASUS website.
