Introduction
S/PDIF
having to be converted first to an analog format. This prevents the
quality of the audio signal from degrading whenever it is converted
to analog. S/PDIF is usually found on digital audio equipment such as
a DAT machine or audio processing device. The S/PDIF connector on
the system board sends surround sound and 3D audio signal out-
puts to amplifiers and speakers and to digital recording devices like
CD recorders.
SERIAL ATA
3Gbps, it improves hard drive performance faster than the standard
parallel ATA whose data transfer rate is 100MB/s. The BL600-DR
board allows configuring RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1 and RAID 5 on
Serial ATA drives connected to SATA ports 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

while USB 2.0 supports 480Mb/second bandwidth providing a
marked improvement in device transfer speeds between your com-
puter and a wide range of simultaneously accessible external Plug
