eSATA hard drives (select models only) External SATA, or eSATA, is an external interface that allows a SATA drive to achieve data transfer speeds up to 6 times that of a SATA drive using a standard USB 2.0 interface. The following illustration shows a supported computer with a primary hard drive (1) and an eSATA drive (2) connected to the eSATA port (select models only) to allow Recovery. Regarding the capacity of the eSATA drive, the same recommendations apply as stated for secondary drives in the computer Upgrade Bay. HP Business computers Select HP Business computers support RAID using Intel® Rapid Storage Technology software (v10 and higher) and a second SATA drive in the Upgrade Bay. The following illustration shows a supported computer with the primary hard drive (1) and a secondary hard drive in the Upgrade Bay (2) that allows RAID 0, RAID 1, and Recovery. The following illustration shows a supported computer with the primary hard drive (1) and secondary hard drive (2), with the third drive in the Upgrade Bay (3) that allows RAID 5. 8 Chapter 3 Operating systems and devices supported
