7) SATA3 0/1/2/3/4/5 (SATA 6Gb/s Connectors, Controlled by Intel
®
Z97/H97 Chipset)
The SATA connectors conform to SATA 6Gb/s standard and are compatible with SATA 3Gb/s and SATA 1.5Gb/s
standard. Each SATA connector supports a single SATA device. The Intel
®
Chipset supports RAID 0, RAID 1,
RAID5,andRAID10.RefertoChapter3,"ConguringSATAHardDrive(s),"forinstructionsonconguring
a RAID array.
• ARAID0orRAID1congurationrequiresatleasttwoharddrives.Ifmorethantwoharddrives
are to be used, the total number of hard drives must be an even number.
• ARAID5congurationrequiresatleastthreeharddrives.(Thetotalnumberofharddrivesdoes
nothavetobeanevennumber.)
• ARAID10congurationrequiresfourharddrives.
• Toenablehot-pluggingfortheSATAports,refertoChapter2,"BIOSSetup,""Peripherals\SATA
Conguration,"formoreinformation.
• M.2, SATA Express, and SATA3 4/5 connectors can only be used one at a time. The SATA3 4/5
connectors will become unavailable when an M.2 SSD is installed.
