These connectors are set to [AHCI] by default. If you intend to create a Serial ATA
RAID set using these connectors, set the SATA Mode item in the BIOS to [RAID].
Refer to section 2.6.3 PCH Storage Configuration for details.
Before creating a RAID set, refer to the manual bundled in the motherboard support
DVD.
The M.2 Socket 3 and SATA Express slot share the same PCIe bandwidth. When you
use both connectors, the system automatically detects the devices connected to these
connectors and set a higher priority to M.2 Socket 3 than SATA Express slot.
The SATAEXPRESS connector can support one SATA Express device or two SATA
devices.
