The Intel® ICH6R allows RAID 0 and RAID 1 configuration for four Serial ATA connectors and supports the Intel® Matrix Storage Technology. See page 2-31 for details. If you are using IDE hard disk drives, the ITE® 8212F controller provides RAID 0, RAID1, RAID 0+1, and JBOD functionality for two IDE channels that support up to four IDE hard disk drives. See page 2-30 for details. Gigabit LAN The motherboard comes with a Gigabit LAN controller to meet your growing networking needs.
