7) SATA3 0/1 (SATA 6Gb/s Connectors, Controlled by Intel P67 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" and "SATA3
1" connectors support RAID 0 and RAID 1. RAID 5 and RAID 10 can be implemented on the two con-
nectors with the "SATA2 2/3/4/5" connectors
for instructions on configuring a RAID array.
8) SATA2 2/3/4/5 (SATA 3Gb/s Connectors, Controlled by Intel P67 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 P67 Chipset supports RAID 0, RAID
1, RAID 5, and RAID 10. Refer to Chapter 5, "Configuring SATA Hard Drive(s)," for instructions on
configuring a RAID array.
A RAID 0 or RAID 1 configuration 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 configuration requires at least three hard drives. (The total number of hard drives
•
does not have to be an even number.)
A RAID 10 configuration requires four hard drives.
•
(Note) When a RAID set is built across the SATA 6Gb/s and SATA 3Gb/s channels, the system perfor-
mance of the RAID set may vary depending on the devices being connected.
