Drive Headers (SATA/ U.2)
SATA3/6G is the current standard for HDD/SSD/Optical interface. These
cables are the data interconnect for the motherboard. Your
HDD/SSD/Optical interface will still require a separate power connection
from your power supply.
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.
U.2 is a new storage standard that has the advantage of the performance of a
M.2 SSD and the ease of installation of a 2.5inch SSD. U.2 does not share
resources with other peripherals or slots, U.2 has a dedicated 4 PCI-E Gen3
lanes from the PCH, and can be enabled or disabled in BIOS.
See Page 49 for RAID levels supported and explanations for how
th
ey work.
