SATA Interface

The Blackbird provides three serial ATA 3.0 (SATA 3.0) ports that communicate at a rate of up
to 6.0 Gbits/s. Two ports connect to right-angle SATA connectors with latching capability. The
third port connects to Minicard #1 when an mSATA module is installed.
The ATX power supplies Power to the SATA drive. Note that the standard SATA drive power
connector is different from the common 4-pin Molex connector used on IDE drives. Most current
ATX power supplies provide SATA connectors, and many SATA drives provide both types of
power connectors. If the power supply you are using does not provide SATA connectors,
adapters are available.
