Hello
I want to buy Maximus IX Hero but I see this in user manual pdf:

- 6 x SATA 6Gb/s ports **
** These SATA ports are for data hard drivers only. ATAPI devices are not supported.

Why??
I don't see Asmedia Sata controller in this motherboard..

Yes, you can use a SATA optical drive.

ATAPI devices are not supported.

And you can use a SATA Harddrive (with operating software installed on it).

See page 1-29 of owners manual for M.2 SSD modules installation if you plan on using them to see effects it has on SATA 6Gbs/s ports.

just get a external usb drive case, Vantec makes a nice one, or get a pcie sata controller card, with a Asmedia chip. I have a maximus ix hero.
