7) SATA3 0/1 (SATA 6Gb/s Connectors, Controlled by Intel P67 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 con-
nectors with the "SATA2 2/3/4/5" connectors
(Note)
.RefertoChapter5,"ConguringSATAHardDrive(s),"
forinstructionsonconguringaRAIDarray.
Please connect the L-shaped end of the
SATA cable to your SATA hard drive.
8) SATA2 2/3/4/5 (SATA 3Gb/s Connectors, Controlled by Intel P67 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 P67 Chipset supports RAID 0, RAID
1, RAID 5, and RAID 10. Refer to Chapter 5, "Configuring SATA Hard Drive(s)," for instructions on
conguringaRAIDarray.
(Note) When a RAID set is built across the SATA 6Gb/s and SATA 3Gb/s channels, the system perfor-
mance of the RAID set may vary depending on the devices being connected.
