• A RAID 0 or RAID 1 configuration requires at least two hard drives. If more than two hard drives
are configured, the total number of hard drives must be an even number.
• A RAID 10 configuration requires four hard drives.
(Note) When a RAID configuration is built across the SATA 6Gb/s channels, the system performance of
the RAID configuration may vary depends on the devices are connected.
14/15) SATA_SGP/SSATA_SGP (SAS SGPIO Headers)
SGPIO stands for Serial General Purpose Input/Output which is a 4-signal (or 4-wire) bus used between
a Host Bus Adapter (HBA) and a backplane. Out of the 4 signals, 3 are driven by the HBA and 1 is driven
by the backplane. Typically, the HBA is a storage controller located inside a server, desktop, rack or
workstation computer that interfaces with Hard disk drives (HDDs) to store and retrieve data.
