EZ Backup erases all original data/partition in the hard disk connected to the
SATA_E2 (white, port 1) connector on the motherboard.
Super Speed erases all original data/partition in both hard disks.
When using one hard disk in Normal Mode, connect the hard disk to the SATA_E1

Use the Drive Xpert utility to see both the status of the hard disks connected to
the SATA_E1 (orange, port 0) and SATA_E2 (white, port 1) connectors on the
