The current SATA3 interface allows up to 6.0 Gb/s data transfer rate. If you install the HDD on the eSATA port on the rear I/O, the internal SATA3_M4 will not function. We recommend to use Intel® P67 SATA ports (SATA3_0, SATA3_1, SATA2_2, SATA2_3, SATA2_4 and SATA2_5) for your bootable devices. This will minimum your boot time and get the best performance. But if you still want to boot from Marvell SATA3 controller, you can still enable Marvell SATA3 Bootable in UEFI. If you want to install USB 3.0 device on Marvell SATA3 port, please use SATA3_M1 and SATA3_M2 as the first priority for better performance. Serial ATA (SATA) Data Cable (Optional) Either end of the SATA data cable can be connected to the SATA / SATAII / SATA3 hard disk or the SATAII / SATA3 connector on this motherboard.
