Intel Desktop Board DQ67SW Product Guide SATA Support The board provides six SATA channels, through the PCH, which support one device per channel: • Two internal SATA 6.0 Gb/s connectors (blue) • Two internal SATA 3.0 Gb/s connectors (black) • Two external SATA (eSATA) 3.0 Gb/s connectors (red) on the back panel for external connections SATA RAID The Intel Q67 PCH supports Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST) which enables the following RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Drives) levels: • RAID 0 - data striping • RAID 1 - data mirroring • RAID 0+1 (or RAID 10) - data striping and mirroring • RAID 5 - distributed parity NOTE In order to use supported RAID features, you must first enable RAID in the BIOS. Also, during Microsoft Windows XP installation, you must press F6 to install the RAID drivers. See your Microsoft Windows XP documentation for more information about installing drivers during installation. Both Microsoft Windows Vista and Microsoft Windows 7 include the necessary RAID drivers for both AHCI and RAID without the need to install separate RAID drivers using the F6 switch in the operating system installation process. Intel® Rapid Recover Technology The board incorporates Intel® Rapid Recover Technology (Intel® RRT). Intel RRT is a feature of Intel RST. Intel RRT uses RAID 1 (mirroring) functionality to copy data from a designated master drive to a designated recovery drive. The master drive data can be copied to the recovery drive either continuously or on request. When using the continuous update policy, changes made to the data on the master drive while the recovery drive is disconnected or offline are automatically copied to the recovery drive when it is reconnected. When using the on request update policy, the master drive data can be restored to a previous state by copying the data on the recovery drive back to the master drive. 20
