ASUS Drive Xpert

Before using the Drive Xpert function, ensure that you have connected the SATA

signal cables and installed SATA hard disk drives to the SATA6G_E1 and SATA6G_E2

connectors.

You can only make one Drive Xpert change a time before you save BIOS settings and

restart the computer.

Drive Xpert Mode [Normal Mode]

[Normal Mode] Allows you to use the SATA6G_E1 and SATA6G_E2 connectors as normal

SATA connectors.

[Super Speed] Allows you to use the Super Speed function that combines two hard drives

as one single drive partition.

[EZ Backup]

Allows you to use the EZ Backup function that copies and maintains an

identical image of data from the SATA6G_E1 drive to the SATA6G_E2

drive.

When using only one hard disk in Normal Mode, connect the hard disk to the SATA6G_E1

connector on the motherboard.

All original data of the two hard drives will be erased for Super Speed setup.

All original data of the SATA6G_E2 hard disk will be erased for EZ Backup setup.
