Help Text:
- Intel

ESRT2 (Powered by LSI*): Supports RAID 0/1/10 and optional RAID 5 with
Intel
®
RAID C600 Upgrade Keys. Uses Intel ESRT2 drivers (based on LSI* MegaSR).
- Intel
®
RSTe: Provides pass-through drive support. Also provides host based RAID
0/1/10/5 support. Uses Intel
®
RSTe iaStor drivers.
Comments: This option only appears when the SATA Controller is enabled, and
RAID Mode has been selected as the operational SATA Mode. This setting selects the RAID
stack to be used for SATA RAID with the onboard AHCI SATA controller.
If a RAID Volume has not previously been created that is compatible with the RAID stack
selected, it will be necessary to Save and Exit and reboot in order to create a RAID Volume.

ESRT2 provides host based RAID 0/1/10 and optional RAID 5. For a RAID 5
configuration, this requires one of the Intel
®
RAID C600 Upgrade Keys AXXRKSATA4R5,
AXXRKSATA8R5, AXXRKSAS4R5, or AXXRKSAS8R5. Uses Intel
®
ESRT2 drivers (based on
LSI* MegaSR), and is also supported by Linux* MDRAID.
Intel
®
RSTe provides pass-through drive support and provides host based RAID 0/1/10
support, and RAID 5 (in SATA mode only). Uses Intel
®
RSTe drivers in Windows*, and MDRAID
stack in Linux*. The Intel
®
RSTe RAID stack is required if it is necessary to provide pass-
through support for non-RAID drives, or if support is needed for more than eight drives.
