(7-pin SATA1, SATA2, SATA3, SATA4)
These connectors are for the Serial ATA signal cables for Serial ATA 3.0
Gb/s hard disk and optical disk drives. The Serial ATA 3 Gb/s is backward
compatible with Serial ATA 1.5Gb/s specification. The data transfer rate of
the Serial ATA 3.0 Gb/s is faster than the standard parallel ATA with 133 MB/s
(Ultra DMA133).
If you install Serial ATA hard disk drives, you can create a RAID 0, RAID 1,
and RAID 10 configuration through the onboard onboard SB600 controller.
