1.7.1 AHCI Mode
The board supports AHCI storage mode.
NOTE
In order to use AHCI mode, AHCI must be enabled in the BIOS. Microsoft* Windows* 10 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.
1.7.2 Intel® Rapid Storage Technology / SATA RAID
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 and SMART alerting. 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.
NOTE
Intel Rapid Storage Technology / SATA RAID is only supported if an M.2 SATA SSD module is used
with the onboard SATA interface. RAID is not available when using M.2 PCIe SSD module and
onboard SATA interface.
1.7.3 Intel® Next Generation Storage Acceleration
Intel® Next Generation Storage Acceleration with Intel® Optane™ Technology is a disk caching
solution that can provide improved computer system performance with improved power savings. It
allows configuration of a computer system with the advantage of having HDDs for maximum
storage capacity and with Intel® Optane™ Technology for improved system performance.

technology/non-volatile-memory.html
NOTE
In order to use supported RAID and Intel Next Generation Storage Acceleration with Intel®
Optane™ Technology features, you must first enable RAID in the BIOS.
