8. SATA 6Gb/s ports
The SATA 6Gb/s ports 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
®
Z490 chipset.
• The slots are set to [AHCI] by default. If you intend to create a SATA RAID set using
these connectors, set the SATA Mode item in the BIOS to [Intel RST Premium with
Intel Optane System Acceleration (RAID)].
• SATA6G_56 share bandwidth with M.2_3. When SATA6G_5 or SATA6G_6 is
occupied, M.2_3 will be disabled.
• SATA6G_2 will be disabled when M.2_1 is operating in SATA mode.
• Before creating a RAID set, refer to the RAID Configuration Guide. You can
download the RAID Configuration Guide from the ASUS website.
