SATA 3.0 Ports
This motherboard has six SATA 3.0 ports (I-SATA0-3, I-SATA4, and I-SATA5). I-SATA4/5 can
be used with Supermicro SuperDOMs that are yellow SATA DOM connectors with power pins
built in and do not require external power cables. Supermicro SuperDOMs are backwards
compatible with regular SATA HDDs or SATA DOMs that need external power cables.
