7. SATA 6Gb/s port
The SATA 6Gb/s port allows you to connect SATA devices such as optical disc drives
and hard disk drives via a SATA cable.
If you installed SATA storage devices, you can create a RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 configuration
with the Intel
®
Rapid Storage Technology through the onboard Intel
®
Z690 chipset.
M.2_4 slot shares bandwidth with SATA6G_5~8. SATA6G_5~8 will be suspended
once either a SATA or NVMe device is detected at M.2_4.
Before creating a RAID set, refer to the RAID Configuration Guide. You can
download the RAID Configuration Guide from the ASUS website.
