Serial ATA technology The motherboard supports the new Serial ATA technology through the SATA interfaces and the Intel® 6300ESB. The SATA specification allows for thinner, more flexible cables with lower pin count, reduced voltage requirement, and up to 150 MB/s data transfer rate. For Serial ATA models, the Adaptec® AIC-8110X chip supports four additional SATA connectors to give you six fully-compatible SATA interfaces. For IDE models, the Intel® 6300ESB ICH provides RAID 0 and RAID 1 solution for two Serial ATA interfaces using the Windows® XP operating system. Zero Channel RAID (ZCR) solution (optional on SATA and SCSI models only) The motherboard supports the optional Zero Channel RAID card in SODIMM package for a multi-RAID solution using Serial ATA150 hard disk drives or Ultra320 SCSI hard disk drives. The RAID 0 (striping), RAID 1 (mirroring), RAID 0+1, and RAID 5 provide a cost-effective, reliable and high-performance server system. 1-2 Chapter 1: Product introduction
