SATA3_0/1/2/3/4/5 (SATA 6Gb/s Connectors)
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 AMD SB950 South Bridge
supports RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 10, and JBOD. Refer to Chapter 5, "Configuring SATA Hard
Drive(s)," for instructions on configuring a RAID array.
A RAID 0 or RAID 1 configuration 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 configuration requires at least three hard drives.
•
(The total number of hard drives ••does not have to be an
even number.)
A RAID 10 configuration requires four hard drives.
•
Please connect the L-shaped end of
the SATA cable to your SATA hard
drive.
