Intel Desktop Board DQ57TM Technical Product Specification 1.9 SATA Interfaces The board provides six SATA connectors through the PCH, which support one device per connector: • Four internal SATA connectors (black) • One internal eSATA connector (red) for internal or external connectivity • One eSATA connector (red) on the back panel for external connectivity The PCH provides independent SATA ports with a theoretical maximum transfer rate of 3 Gb/s per port. A point-to-point interface is used for host to device connections. The underlying SATA functionality is transparent to the operating system. The SATA controller can operate in both legacy and native modes. In legacy mode, standard IDE I/O and IRQ resources are assigned (IRQ 14 and 15). In Native mode, standard PCI Conventional bus resource steering is used. Native mode is the preferred mode for configurations using the Windows* XP, Windows Vista*, and Windows 7* operating systems. For more information, see: http://www.serialata.org/. For information about The location of the SATA connectors Refer to Figure 11, page 47 1.9.1.1 Serial ATA RAID The board supports the Intel Rapid Storage Technology (Intel RST) which provides 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 mirroring • RAID 5 - distributed parity 1.9.1.2 Intel® Rapid Recover Technology The board incorporates the Intel® Rapid Recover Technology (Intel® RRT). Intel Rapid Recover Technology is a feature of Intel Rapid Storage Technology. It uses RAID 1 (mirroring) functionality to copy data from a designated master drive to a designated recovery drive. The master drive data can be copied to the recovery drive either continuously or on request. When using the continuous update policy, changes made to the data on the master drive while the recovery drive is disconnected or offline are automatically copied to the recovery drive when it is reconnected. When using the on request update policy, the master drive data can be restored to a previous state by copying the data on the recovery drive back to the master drive.
