EVGA Z390 FTW (123-CS-E397)
Drive Headers (SATA)
SATA3/6G is the current standard for HDD/SSD/Optical interface. These
cables are the data interconnect for the motherboard. Your
HDD/SSD/Optical interface will still require a separate power connection
from your power supply.
SATA ports on this platform natively support full AHCI and RAID functions.
AHCI is enabled by default, but the controller can be put into RAID mode in
the BIOS. RAID mode supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, and 10 through the Intel
®
controller, and all ports retain full AHCI functionality in RAID mode.
SATA ports 4/5 share lanes with the bottom M.2 Key-M 80mm slot; enabling
the M.2 Key-M 80mm slot will disable SATA ports 4/5.
See Page 50 for RAID levels supported and explanations for how
they work
