X99 Serial ATA 6 Gb/s connectors (7-pin SATA6G_12, SATA6G_34,

SATA6G_5, SATA6G_6/SATAEXPRESS, SATA6G_78, SATA6G_910)

These connectors connect to Serial ATA 6 Gb/s hard disk drives via Serial ATA 6 Gb/s

signal cables.

If you installed Serial ATA hard disk drives, you can create a RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10

conguration with the Intel

Rapid Storage Technology through the onboard Intel

X99

chipset.

• These connectors are set to [AHCI Mode] 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

Mode]. Refer to section 3.6.3 PCH Storage Configuration for details.

• Before creating a RAID set, refer to the manual bundled in the motherboard support

DVD.

• The SATAEXPRESS_1 connector can support one SATA Express device or two

SATA devices.

• Due to chipset behavior, the SATA6G_78 and SATA6G_910 ports (black) do not

support Intel

Rapid Storage Technology and RAID conguration.
