7) SATA2 2/3/4 (SATA 3Gb/s Connectors, Controlled by Intel Z77 Chipset)
The SATA connectors conform to SATA 3Gb/s standard and are compatible with SATA 1.5Gb/s standard.
Each SATA connector supports a single SATA device. The Intel Z77 Chipset supports RAID 0, RAID 1,
RAID 5, and RAID 10. Refer to Chapter 5, "Conguring SATA Hard Drive(s)," for instructions on conguring
a RAID array.

6) SATA3 0/1 (SATA 6Gb/s Connectors, Controlled by Intel Z77 Chipset)
The SATA connectors conform to SATA 6Gb/s standard and are compatible with SATA 3Gb/s and SATA
1.5Gb/s standard. Each SATA connector supports a single SATA device. The "SATA3 0" and "SATA3 1"
connectors support RAID 0 and RAID 1. RAID 5 and RAID 10 can be implemented on the two connectors
with the "SATA2 2/3/4" connector and eSATA

A RAID 0 or RAID 1 conguration requires at least two hard drives. If more than two hard drives •
are to be used, the total number of hard drives must be an even number.
A RAID 5 conguration requires at least three hard drives. (The total number of hard drives does •
not have to be an even number.)
A RAID 10 conguration requires four hard drives. •
