Setting Up SATA Mode (Optane™ or AHCI)
AHCI Mode
Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) is an interface specification that allows
the storage driver to enable advanced serial ATA features such as Native Command
Queuing (for maximum hard disk efficiency and performance). Make sure you in-
stall the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology application to support your HDDs/
SSDs in AHCI mode (see “Intel® Rapid Storage Technology” on page 6 - 27).
Intel® Optane™
Intel® Optane™ is a combination of a compatible memory device and Intel Rapid
Technology software. This combination is designed to speed up your system per-
formance by caching boot data, executables, frequently accessed data and system
page files to an non volatile, low latency Intel® Optane™ SSD.
Contact your distributor or supplier to see if your system supports this technology.
Intel® Rapid Storage Technology Application
Make sure you install the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology application if you
have set up your system in Intel RST Premium (for Intel
® Optane™) mode (see
“Intel® Rapid Storage Technology” on page 6 - 27).
After setting the SATA mode to Intel® Optane™ and installing the Intel® Rapid
Storage Technology application, DO NOT uninstall the Intel® Rapid Storage
Technology application.

tion should be made be-
