7) SATA2 2/3/4/5 (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 (please use the included SATA 3Gb/s cable). 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 (please use the included SATA
6Gb/s cable). 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 2/3/4/5" connector
(Note)
. Refer to Chapter 5,
"Conguring SATA Hard Drive(s)," for instructions on conguring a RAID array.
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. •
(Note) When a RAID set is built across the SATA 6Gb/s and SATA 3Gb/s channels, the system performance
of the RAID set may vary depending on the devices being connected.
