Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA1, SATA2)
These next generation connectors support the thin Serial ATA cables
for Serial ATA hard disks. The current Serial ATA interface allows up to
150MB/s data transfer rate, faster than the standard parallel ATA with
133MB/s (Ultra ATA/133).
If you installed Serial ATA hard disk drives and Windows
®
XP operating
system, you can create a RAID 0 or RAID 1 configuration using the
Adaptec HostRAID technology embedded in the Intel
®
6300ESB.
Important notes on Serial ATA
In a legacy operating system (DOS) environment, using the Serial
ATA connectors will disable the Southbridge support to one of the
IDE channels (either primary or secondary channel).
The Serial ATA RAID feature (RAID 0 and RAID 1) is only available
under Windows
®
XP.
