Interesting that Dell is making a distinction here between SATA and PCIe mass
storage, but calling its RAID foolishness "SATA Operation - RAID On".
Does this imply maybe that the SSD connected via PCIe and not via the SATA
wiring/controller, is exempt from the RAID interference? I don't know.
It sure would be nice if that is what they mean though.
Maybe you can carefully test how this really works.
