1.6 SATA Interface
The board provides the following SATA interfaces:
• One internal mSATA port (PCI Express Full-Mini Card) for SSD support
• One SATA 6.0 Gb/s port (blue)
The PCH provides independent SATA ports with a theoretical maximum transfer rate of
6 Gb/s. A point-to-point interface is used for host to device connections.
1.6.1 AHCI Mode
The board supports AHCI storage mode.
NOTE
In order to use AHCI mode, AHCI must be enabled in the BIOS. Microsoft* Windows* 7
and Windows 8 includes the necessary AHCI drivers without the need to install
separate AHCI drivers during the operating system installation process, however, it is
always good practice to update the AHCI drivers to the latest available by Intel.

The PCH supports Intel
®
Rapid Storage Technology, providing both AHCI and
integrated RAID functionality. The RAID capability provides high-performance RAID 0
and 1 functionality on all SATA ports. Other RAID features include hot spare support,
SMART alerting, and RAID 0 auto replace. Software components include an Option
ROM for pre-boot configuration and boot functionality, a Microsoft Windows compatible
driver, and a user interface for configuration and management of the RAID capability
of the PCH.
