EVGA X299 Micro ATX 2 (121-SX-E296)
Drive Headers (SATA)
SATA 3/6Gbit/s 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. RAID-ready ports also have full AHCI functionality.
See Page 50 for RAID levels supported and explanations for how
they work
