6) SATA3 0/1 (SATA 6Gb/s Connectors, Controlled by Intel X79 Chipset)
The SATA connectors conform to SATA 6Gb/s standard and are compatible with SATA 3Gb/s and SATA
1.5Gb/s standard. Each SATA connector supports a single SATA device. The SATA3 0/1 connectors
support RAID 0 and RAID 1. RAID 5 and RAID 10 can be implemented on the two connectors with the
SATA2 2/3/4/5 connector
coniguring a RAID array.
7) SATA2 2/3/4/5 (SATA 3Gb/s Connectors, Controlled by Intel X79 Chipset)
The SATA connectors conform to SATA 3Gb/s standard and are compatible with SATA 1.5Gb/s standard.
Each SATA connector supports a single SATA device. The Intel X79 Chipset supports RAID 0, RAID 1,
RAID 5, and RAID 10. Refer to Chapter 5, "Coniguring SATA Hard Drive(s)," for instructions on coniguring
a RAID array.
• A RAID 0 or RAID 1 coniguration requires at least two hard drives. If more than two hard drives
are to be used, the total number of hard drives must be an even number.
• A RAID 5 coniguration requires at least three hard drives. (The total number of hard drives does
not have to be an even number.)
• A RAID 10 coniguration requires four hard drives.
(Note) When a RAID set is built across the SATA 6Gb/s and SATA 3Gb/s channels, the system performance
of the RAID set may vary depending on the devices being connected.
