    This is the screen shot of my 8770w device manager.
    It has extra ATA and SATA port, which I don't see on my friend's 8570w.

    Is this normal or there is something wrong? or BIOS setting issue?

    My guess would be eSATA and mSATA

    Because I can see both HDD1 and HDD2 are controlled Intel, which left eSATA and mSATA
