We recommend to use Intel
®
P67 SATA ports (SATA3_0, SATA3_1,
SATA2_2, SATA2_3, SATA2_4 and SATA2_5) for your bootable
devices. This will minimum your boot time and get the best
performance. But if you still want to boot from Marvell SATA3
controller, you can still enable Marvell SATA3 Bootable in UEFI. If
you want to install USB 3.0 device on Marvell SATA3 port, please use
SATA3_M1 and SATA3_M2 as the fi rst priority for better performance.
