8) SATA3 0/1/2/3/4/5 (SATA 6Gb/s Connectors, Controlled by Intel
®
Z97 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.
• SATA Express and SATA3 4/5 connectors can only be used one at a time.
