Enhanced IDE Interface
The board’s IDE interface handles the exchange of information between the processor
and peripheral devices such as hard disk drives and CD-ROM drives.
The interface
supports:
•
Up to two IDE devices (such as hard drives)
•
ATAPI-style devices (such as CD-ROM drives)
•
Older PIO Mode devices
•
Ultra DMA-33 and ATA-66/100 protocols
Serial ATA
Desktop Board DX38BT supports six onboard Serial ATA channels (3.0 Gb/s) via ICH9R
and two eSATA channels (3.0 Gb/s) via a discrete controller.
The six onboard Serial ATA channels provided by ICH9R support the following RAID
(Redundant Array of Independent Drives) levels:
•
RAID 0 - data striping
•
RAID 1 - data mirroring
•
RAID 0+1 (or RAID 10) - data striping and data mirroring
•
RAID 5 - distributed parity
For information on configuring your system for RAID using Intel
