4. Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA_RAID1, SATA_RAID2) These next generation connectors support the thin Serial ATA cables for primary internal storage devices. The current Serial ATA interface allows up to 150 MB/s data transfer rate, faster than the standard parallel ATA with 133 MB/s (UltraDMA133).

The lower pin count of the Serial ATA cable eliminates the problem caused by the wide, flat ribbon cables of the Parallel ATA interface. • Hot plug support for Serial ATA drive and connections are not available in this motherboard. • Install Windows® XP™ Service Pack 1 when using Serial ATA.
