and optical disk drives. The Serial ATA 3Gb/s is backward compatible with Serial ATA

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, RAID 0+1, and JBOD (only for Windows
®
Vista OS) conguration through the onboard SB700 chipset.
Install the Windows
®
XP Service Pack 1 before using Serial ATA.
