Enhanced IDE Interface
The ICH7R's IDE interface handles the exchange of information between the processor and peripheral
devices like hard disks, CD-ROM drives, and Iomega Zip drives inside the computer. The interface
supports:
•
Up to two IDE devices (such as hard drives)
•
ATAPI-style devices (such as CD-ROM drives)
•
Older PIO Mode devices
•
Ultra DMA-33 and ATA-66/100 protocols
•
Laser Servo (LS-120) drives
Serial ATA
The board supports four Serial ATA channels via the ICH7R, connecting one device per channel in
either a RAID or non-RAID configuration.
